Mai Logic Incorporated And Eyetech
Group Limited Partner to Capture New Amiga Territory
FREMONT, CA. July 9, 2002. Mai Logic Incorporated, a technology design
house of integrated circuits/systems, today announced an
agreement with Eyetech Group Ltd. to distribute the
Teron CX and PX development systems in Europe, and to
distribute production systems based on the Teron CX and
PX designs to the Amiga market worldwide. Terms of the
agreement emphasized both companies' long-term
commitment to foster an unshakeable partnership and to
create a bright future for the Amiga customers and
partners.
Eyetech in the Amiga
Market
Since it was first conceived in 1985, the
same vision that made the Amiga famous for multimedia
development and delivery in studios, cable stations and
with system developers and users, still gives the Amiga
brand a high profile amongst multimedia developers and
carries with it a highly skilled, vociferous and loyal
user base. Thanks to a vast community of developers
dedicated to using and updating Amiga's small footprint,
high performance operating system, coupled with the
advanced PPC technology enabled by MAI's Articia chipset
series, the Amiga is once more perfectly positioned to
become the most cost-effective delivery platform for 3D
and graphic applications for the current decade and
beyond.
"Eyetech has established itself as one
of the leading providers of Amiga hardware and software
Worldwide," said Alan M. Redhouse, Managing Director of
Eyetech Group. "The high efficiency and mature,
designed-in, multitasking capabilities of the Amiga OS
means the new AmigaOne based on the Teron CX/PX's
hardware architecture will deliver new levels of user
responsiveness far greater than that of equivalently
priced Wintel or Macintosh computers."
"We view the partnership with Mai Logic
as an excellent example of a win-win relationship
whereby both parties can combine their individual areas
of expertise and collectively create a better product
with optimal performance," added Alan.
Mai Logic's Platform
Capabilities
Teron is the first and the only
system that offers AGP support to Power PC processors.
Its outstanding multimedia features make it a complete,
turnkey package for gaming, presentation, and the
entertainment industry as a whole.
The advanced Teron PX comes with a 300-pin
MegArray connector, which provides extremely easy
configuration to a range of development platforms driven
by single- or dual- PowerPC microprocessor cards. Jason
Hou, CEO of Mai Logic stated, "We are pulling together
our high performance Teron PX with Eyetech Group's
renowned technology in hardware and software solutions
focused on the Amiga."
Mai Logic strengthens the ideal
environment provided by Teron for system development by
working with its software partners such as GDA
Technologies, Inc. on Boot code development, ITC
Infotech (USA), Inc. on Windows drivers design, and
DATEC Software Solutions on multiple OS. This
combination of technologies will allow developers to
push the envelop in adding to Amiga's repertoire and
advancing an operating system that once was years ahead
of its competition. "With the vertical total system
technologies in place, Mai Logic is in a position to
undertake and execute complex turnkey development in the
areas of ASIC, Board, Firmware, Real-Time Embedded
systems and Systems applications," said
Jason.
