<B>Amiga Inc. and Eyetech Form Partnership</B>
<P>
<B>June 6, 2000 - Snoqualmie, WA USA</B> - Amiga Inc. of Snoqualmie, WA is pleased to announce a strategic
relationship with Eyetech Group Ltd. of Stokesley, North Yorkshire, UK to
manufacture the first release of the Next Generation Amiga Development
Machines and to distribute these in Great Britain and the Republic of
Ireland.
<P>
This will no doubt come as welcome news to the British Amiga community who
have long enjoyed an excellent relationship with Eyetech.
<P>
Eyetech is well known as a leading supporter of Amiga - and the Amiga
Community - of great integrity. Eyetech's involvement in the Amiga market
dates back to 1993.
<P>
Amiga and Eyetech both share a vision and strategy to re-establish the next
generation Amiga Operating Environment as the leading multimedia
hardware-independent delivery platform for the year 2000 and beyond. Both
companies believe that this strategy will return Amiga to its rightful
position as a leader in multimedia computing, and thereby redeliver the
recognition and pride back to the loyal Amiga community that has waved the
flag over these last 15 years.
<P>
Our relationship with long time company Chairman, Alan Redhouse, proves
that Eyetech has a firm belief in our product, our company, and our
community. Of particular interest to both Amiga and the community is
Eyetechs EZTower Mk5 which networks together - in a single tower system -
both an A1200 (with optional PPC/BVision) with a next generation Amiga
Development Machine and the Amiga SDK. "The reputation of Eyetech as well
as their ability to offer such a high quality and wide-ranging choice to
the Amiga community in the form of both the EZTower Mk5 and the EZDev-Plus
- Eyetech's stand-alone DevBox - is unprecedented. We wholeheartedly
support Alan and his team at Eyetech and join the community in welcoming
Eyetech to the Amiga future." said Randall Hughes, Vice President Sales and
Strategic Alliances at Amiga.
<P>
Alan Redhouse commented: "I am delighted that Eyetech has been chosen as
Amiga's partner to help UK companies and individuals take advantage of
porting and developing applications under the new Amiga Operating
Environment. We will of course continue to service and support Classic
Amiga users Worldwide from the 5000 square feet (500 square meters) of
warehouse space dedicated to Amiga products here at our UK base.
<P>
"The Classic Amiga also forms the basis of our Multimedia Presentation and
Kiosk systems as its tightly integrated, purpose-designed preemptive
multitasking, multimedia-centric operating system allows us to achieve
levels of performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness which cannot even
be approached on a PC-based system. We are now looking forward to
developing new, high-performance multimedia products around the new
generation Amiga Operating Environment, as well as providing continued
support for our existing commercial and leisure customers."
<P>
Eyetech's developer platforms for the new generation Amiga Operating
Environment will be officially released on 1st June 2000. The product
portfolio will include EZTower Mk 5 based integrated systems, upgrade kits
for existing EZTower users and the stand-alone EZDev-Plus system. All
systems will ship with Eyetech's 5-click Amiga - Linux networking software,
specially tailored for the new Amiga Operating Environment.

<B>About Eyetech</B><P>
<P>Eyetech was originally established in 1983 to bring the benefit of
automatic data collection systems to large commercial companies. The
Company been closely involved in many high-profile projects - from the
automatic toll collection systems at the Dartford River Crossing (London,
UK) to most of the bar coded track-and-trace systems in use by the UK
national parcel
services.
<P>
Eyetech was founded in 1983 as a subsidiary of an international UK quoted
plc. Since late 1985 - following a management buy out - Eyetech has traded
as a private limited company. The company has mainly been involved in
producing bespoke commercial software/systems - mainly under Unix/AIX -
particularly in the transport and distribution sector. Eyetechs
specialization has been in track & trace systems using bar codes - in fact
most UK parcels carriers that use bar codes use a system designed and/or
implemented by Eyetech. The company also manufactures bar code decoders and
industrial (networked) shop floor data capture and access control systems.
<P>
Eyetech became interested in the Amiga, and became a registered Amiga
developer, towards the end of 1993 : Eyetech's Amiga-related commercial
systems currently cover two main areas: As an integrated multimedia
development/mass delivery platform for its existing customer base with
custom systems built around Classic Amiga architecture.
<P>
Using rehoused Classic Amiga hardware as a low cost multitasking platform
for shop floor data collection/control applications in smaller industrial
companies, allowing simultaneous local enquiries and the passing back of
data to (typically) an accounts machine as a background process.
<P>
In developing Amiga expertise over the course of the last few years or so
Eyetech needed to provide hardware and software components which were not
commonly available ex-stock, competitively priced or of industrial quality
from normal Amiga suppliers. The Company therefore needed to design and/or
sourced these products elsewhere, and initially entered the retail mail
order business by making surplus stock available to the rest of the Amiga
community. This side of the business has continued to develop,
resulting in Eyetech becoming one of
the largest mail order retailers of Amiga products in the English-speaking
World.
