- VIScorp Reaffirms Its Commitment to the Amiga
-
- From: jcompton@xnet.com (Jason Compton)
- Subject: VIScorp: Nov. 22
-
- Cologne
-
- I'm glad to be back home, but I very much enjoyed my trip to Cologne, Germany
- and the Computer '96 show. The two days spent there flew by very quickly, but I
- was glad to meet with hundreds of Amiga users, journalists, and professionals to
- discuss the Amiga.
-
- The Amiga Acquisition
-
- The topic on everyone's mind, of course. At present, there is no publicly
- consumable news to report. However, these things are true.
-
- * VIScorp remains dedicated to the acquisition of the Amiga technology from
- the bankrupt Escom AG, and our representatives continue discussions with Escom
- trustee Dr. Hembach over this issue.
-
- * VIScorp remains dedicated to the productive application of the Amiga
- technology in the event it is successful in the acquisition--namely, the
- fulfillment of the interactive technology goals the company was founded on, and
- the support and further development of the Amiga technology as a desktop
- computer. The interactive technology goals will explicitly involve technology
- partners, and we anticipate forging strong partnerships for the Amiga desktop
- computer technology as well.
-
- VIScorp has dedicated a great deal of corporate energy and effort to the
- acquisition. It is not VIScorp's intention to deprive, abuse, or alienate the
- Amiga market. Rather, VIScorp wants to complete the Amiga acqusition as soon as
- possible and be freed to pursue its technology goals. It is not in our
- interests nor our intention to mislead the Amiga market, nor to misrepresent the
- current state of affairs.
-
- Also, it is explicitly not in our interests to in any way damage or endanger
- our efforts in the Amiga acquisition. In order to satisfy all of these
- requirements, VIScorp is obliged to abide by certain rules of conduct which
- preclude a "blow-by-blow" report of the proceedings of the Amiga acquisition.
- This would be improper and beyond our ability to provide.We remain committed to
- the acquisition of the technology and as such are attempting to act in
- everyone's best interest. We cannot make commitments to property we do not yet
- own in the form of purchase orders, contracts, and the like.
-
- It IS within our purview to conduct preliminary discussions with companies
- regarding the ultimate goals for the Amiga technology, and as such discussions
- have been conducted worldwide, with such companies as Motorola, PIOS, Phase5,
- and Schatztruhe. However, it would be premature and improper to make any
- commitments, nor rule out any other discussions, at this time.
-
- Acquiring the rights from a bankruptcy to properties obtained, from a
- bankruptcy a short while ago, which represent the intellectual property of a
- decades-old computer giant, with the two sales conducted under different codes
- of law, is not a straightforward affair, as some might suggest.VIScorp has done
- its best to learn and understand the full implications of the purchase of the
- Amiga technology and is working to successfully complete the acquisition.
-
- As a general policy, VIScorp does not engage in online flame wars. It is a
- negative-sum enterprise and not in the best interests of a company and the
- individuals in it who are dedicated to a goal and wish to conduct business
- towards that goal.
-
- The bottom line
-
- Yes, VIScorp continues to work with all diligence towards the completion of the
- Amiga deal, but don't let anyone fool you into thinking that it should be an
- "easier" process. As has been mentioned before, this sort of process is not
- merely closed to VIScorp. VIScorp believes it is the front-runner in this
- acquisition. If it were any "easier" to purchase the Amiga, by now we or
- someone else would have made it so. The fact that it is November 22, 1996 and
- we do not have control of the Amiga assets as of yet is a consequence of the way
- business is and must be conducted in an international sale of technology with
- major implications.
-
- Due to my trip, there is some e-mail that has gone unanswered, and I'll be
- working to rectify that situation. While VIScorp has been open from the start
- to accepting and considering comments and input from all comers, please try to
- keep in mind that you and you alone determine through your language how you wish
- it to be received.
