End of GRex petition

Today is the end of the GRex-petition. Until today 296 users have subscribed.
TriMa and me want to thank you for your support. Unfortunately this petition has failed.
I want to explain in the following lines why it is so.
Two weeks after the start of the petition I have sent the first list with all signatures
(without email addresses) to DCE per email. I got an answer of DCE at once. DCE wrote
that they would be glad about a support of OS4 and that they are interested in the current
discussion.
We got the information of Steffen Häuser that the cybpci.library written by Ralph 'Laire' Schmidt
will not work in the 68k emulation because of the 68k MMU setup. So the petition still
became more important because presently GRex users have no chance of getting AmigaOS 4.0
started.
We got all information per email which Hyperion needs to support the GRex. Four addresses
are needed:
- The base of GRex I/O address
- The interrupt acknowledge address
- The base address of config space mappings or
- the PCI-config and PCI-data address
No circuit diagramm, hardware or software documents are needed. These information I
sent DCE per email. I have not got any response until today.
Then we got the information that bplan has the hardware rights. This means DCE has only
a licence for the GRex. If this is true or not we do not know. One week ago I contacted
Mr. Carda per email for getting clearness. But I also have not got any response until now.
That is a pity.
Now we hope that we can attract attention by posting this article.
Thank you very much again to all participants...
The attempt of moving something forward means so much to us - also if it may fail.

Amiga Future: New Survey and More
Two new surveys have been started on the Amiga Future Homepage. Additionally the results appear from the last survey, which was "What browser do you use?"
Until 25th January there's a raffle in which you could win a Shogo and a Wendetta 2175. With this raffle we want to support Thomas in creating the FAQs. Also, the links and the cheats collection have been updated.
