VISCORP and AMIGA: The Phoenix Strategy
Much has been said and written about the recent announcement of the
signing of a letter of understanding between VIScorp and Escom AG
Germany. In addition, VIScorp has received hundreds of telephone,
fax and Email communications requesting information as to the status
of the deal and our plans for the Amiga. We are providing this posting
to inform those interested in the knowing about the current arrangements --
and will provide additional information as the they develop.
1. VIScorp is currently conducting a thorough due diligence assessment of
Escom's Amiga holdings. This process is painstaking and extremely time
consuming; however, without full disclosure, no satisfactory deal can be
concluded.
Due to the letter of understanding, VIScorp is restricted from releasing
information relating to the negotiations until they are completed. Until
such time, Amiga remains the asset of Amiga Technologies/Escom and all
inquires relating to current Amiga operations should be directed to Amiga
Technologies/Escom.
2. VIScorp currently holds a license to the Amiga OS and chip sets and is
developing a family of TV-based products that utilize the Amiga's unique
functionalities.
3. Many of VIScorp's senior management have previously worked for Commodore
and have a thorough knowledge of the Amiga.
Our intent to purchase the Amiga comes out of (i) an appreciation of the
core technology and its importance to VIScorp's long-term business
development and (ii) a belief that the Amiga can -- like the Phoenix --
rise from the ashes and become a profitable technology for the future.
Over the coming days and weeks we anticipate to see a flood a mis-statements
in the press, on the Net and via voice communications -- some will be made
out of ignorance, others out of malice. We will do our best to keep the Amiga
community regularly informed. We have received hundreds of messages and
anticipate many more to be received until final resolution of formal
negotiations is completed. While we are making every effort to do so,
please excuse us if we do not respond to your individual message.
