The new Beginning: The Phoenix Platform Consortium !!!
Mike Bouma
An alliance of people that really know what the Amiga was all about,
QSSL the maker of the supirior QNX RTOS and PPC hardware manufacturers
for providing a solution to establish an open migration path to a new
QNX ROTS based platform. With some really big names like Carl
Sassenrath, Fleecy Moss, Bill McEwen, Dan Dodge and many more.

"The Phoenix Platform Consortium
13 September, 1999 - "The Phoenix Platform Consortium will assume
responsibility for aid and recommendation
for reference platforms for the Amiga users who wish to upgrade their
present Amigas, as we establish an open
migration path to a new platform."
We are pleased to announce the acceptance of provisional charter for
the Phoenix Platform Consortium.
Phoenix signatories believe it is time to place our destiny back in
the hands of folks who understand what the Amiga is all
about. You will notice members of the original Jay Miner team within
our ranks.
Unlike other new entities we will not field questions from newsgroups,
mailing lists, or in email, nor will we be erecting a
marketing facade to false hopes. Results and honest direction are our
mandate.
The Phoenix Platform Consortium will assume responsibility for aid and
recommendation for reference platforms for the
Amiga users who wish to upgrade their present Amigas, as we establish
an open migration path to a new platform. That
platform will in spirit and in feel be a new Amiga experience while
incorporating and surpassing the features found on the
desktop elsewhere today.
More information will be posted when we have facts to present. Please
do NOT email the participants in curiosity. We ask
for your patience in this matter. Please respect the wishes of the
participants named below. There is much to do and we
have just begun.
As information becomes available it will be posted on mailing lists,
newsgroups, and at the following website:
http://owlnet.net/phoenix/ which will be up shortly. This announcement
is freely repostable.

favour and download the free demo at http://www.qnx.com/iat/index.html
and try it on your or someone elses x86 machine. Although isn`t much
like the funished product it does show how efficient, compact and well
designed the OS is. This is a true product and no HOAX! TRY IT!
Sincerely, Mike Bouma.
