20 Mayıs 1998 tarihinde yapılan açıklama ile AMIGA INC/INT, Phase5 Digital Products ve Haage Partner firmaları arasında Motorola PowerPC işlemcili AMIGA`ların piyasaya sürülmesi ve Amiga1200-Amiga 4000 PowerUP kartlarının yasal olarak desteklenmesi konusunda anlaşmaya varıldı.

15-16 Mayıs tarihlerinde yapılan World OF Amiga Fuar`ında yapılan görüşmeler sonucunda Phase5 ve Haage Partner firmaları PPC Kernel savaşını sona erdirdi,PPC kartlarını daha hızlı çalıştıracak bir AMIGA PPC Kernel üzerinde anlaşmaya vardılar.

Ayrıca bu iki firma AMIGA INC`nin PC dünyasi için piyasaya süreceği X86 Bridge Amiga`ya bir alternatif olarak gelecek yılın başında Motorola PPC G4 ve Motorola PPC AltiVec çiplerini ve PCI,AGP bus`ları içeren ve AMIGA OS 4.0 PPC işletim sistemini kullanak yeni bir makine geliştirecek.

AMIGA INC`nin PowerPC ve AMD,Cyrix X86 sistemlerini iki ayrı alternatif olarak seçmesiyle yıllar sonra AMIGA`nın Motorola 680x0 serisiyle olan macerası da sona ermiş bulunuyor.Bu gelişmelerden sonra hem PPC hem de X86 yönlerinden destek alacak olması dolayısı ile AMIGA NEXT GENERATION yeni nesil AMIGA`ların çok başarılı olacağına bütün kalbimizle inaniyoruz.

Phase 5 / Haage & Partner Cooperation

In a joint anouncement after the recent World of Amiga show in London, and as a
reaction to the plans revealed by Amiga Inc., Haage&Partner and phase 5 digital
products have emphasized their full and continued support for the PowerPC integration.

With joint efforts both vendors will further support the developers and the users of
PowerPC technology, and will ensure a fast growing number of stunning and powerful
applications. With many thousands of PowerUP boards beeing shipped so far, a number
of installed systems which is rapidly growing, the PowerUP boards already provide
an attractive market for all developers. This fact is underscored by many upcoming
PowerUP releases of major Amiga software packages, and the increasing support of
software vendors which has been agreed on during the WoA even after the announcements
of Amiga Inc.

Haage&Partner and phase 5 digital products emphasized that the competition of their
different approaches towards PowerPC integration, as well as the public dispute about
this, are a matter of the past. "We will ensure that users of PowerUP system have a
transparent integration of their PowerPC software, and will see a rich variety of most
powerful applications to be released soon" say representatives of both companies.
Further development of PowerPC system software shall be done with close consultations
between the companies; beside that, cooperations in the development of powerful
PowerPC-based system libraries and other OS extensions are being discussed.

In meetings of the managements of Haage&Partner and phase 5 digital products with
Amiga Inc. already during the WoA show in London, it has been agreed that a new
proposal will be presented to Amiga Inc. which outlines an alternative option to
 "Amiga Bridge" system planned by Amiga, Inc.

This alternative is a new PowerPC-based system, which will feature the planned
Amiga OS upgrade and can be out for sale in the retail channels by end of the
year already. Beyond incorporating standard industry components and interfaces,
such a system can provide additional options which allow for creative development
 and expansion in the spirit of the Amiga and can also run the current and next
 releases of AmigaOS.

Based on the PowerPC, this system will also provide continuity and innovation
for all users and developers, and will allow the Amiga community to take part
of such stunning developments such as Motorola's new AltiVec technology, an
extension to the G4 PowerPC processors which will provide a breathtaking
performance already early next year. With approval and support of Amiga Inc.,
this technology can introduce the long-awaited revival of the Amiga platform
already this year, quickly providing a growing market of powerful systems which
users can buy, and for which developers can develop and sell software and add-ons.

Haage&Partner and phase 5 digital products also encourage all Amiga developers
who want to participate today in an existing innovation, and who want to be a
part of an Amiga market which provides growth, continuity and innovation from
now on and during the next years, to speak out now and commit themselves to
support the PowerPC as the heart of the next generation of Amiga systems.
