"....it is time for a radical leap forwards in technology
that needs to be born by a vision of a computer for the next
millennium."
Wolf Dietrich, Managing Director of Phase 5.
While the likes of Viscorp, Quikpak, and Gateway fought over the
Amiga name, Phase 5 were quietly developing a true successor to the
Amiga, and a clean break away from the past. The company had
already made waves in the Amiga industry with a range of
accelerators, and were the first to incorporate the PowerPC into
the Amiga architecture. For a brief time they attempted to move the
market towards their next generation A/BOX system. After years of
development the company filed for liquidation proceedings in
January 2000.
