- It seems to me that Viscorp have bought AT from Escom. If Viscorp
- just wanted the rights to use the OS and Chip-sets a simple licence
- agreement would have surficed. So I've really got to disagree with
- you here.
-
- Seeing as Viscorp have complete control over AT (from the way I see
- it) they have the power to halt all further development of the PPC
- Amiga if they so wish...lets just hope they don't.

- Andy
- All general statements are false.
