15. The author wants to thank...

The development would have been impossible without the feedback of some Future Drive Accelerator users. Many ideas and features came from these sources... So I'd like to thank the following persons:

For Alpha-/Beta-Tests, ideas & bug-reports:
Frédéric Laboureur, Michael Kilimann, Denis Zwornarz, Andrew Mowatt, Marc Michael, Herbert Pittermann Kisses for you sweet Kids, Harald Wünsche, Timo Murzo, Jörg Liebelt, Flemming Steffensen, Helge Böhme, Andreas, Carsten.
For the translations:
The Amiga Translators Organization (ATO)
Jens Neubauer jens.neubauer@gmx.de
For proofreading:
Gregor Knechtges
Heiko Hayn Smeagel@gmx.net
Malcolm Harnden
For supporting the PPC Amiga.
Fred Fish
Without your excessive commitment for the Amiga, I hardly would have gotten those bits and bytes to feed my curiosity. Your new GeekGadget Project with the GNU ports is very praiseworthy.
The text you read at the moment has to be partly credited to Fred Fish because it is written in Texinfo.
Reinhard Spisser and Sebastiano Vigna
for the Amiga-port of "makeinfo".
Michael Marte, Hamish Macdonald, Geert Uytterhoeven, Chris Lawrence,
Joerg Mayer, Martin Apel, Richard Hirst, Roman Hodek, Thomas Kruse, Benjamin (Benni) Lorenz, Odd-Jarle Kristoffersen, Jes Sorensen, Ron Flory ... (MC 680xx LinUX)
I can't find words.
Kamil Iskra, Philippe Brand, Fred Fish, Leonard Norrgard, Hans Verkuil, Gunther Nikl, Anders Wegge Jakobsen (GNU C Compiler)
You made it possible to program for every platform.
Dirk Busse (CopyMemQuicker)
Thanks to your optimising, the cache has become even more faster. See section A. How to speed up Future Drive Accelerator even more.
Matthew Dillon
Without your DME (programable text-editor) maybe I had never started typing.
Friedjof Siebert
Without your damn-fast Oberon-compiler, it would have been only half as much fun.
Amiga Modula Oberon Klub Stuttgart AMOK
Your enthusiasm dragged me on. Where do you get all these good ideas from?
Niclaus Wirth
Brought light into the darkness, finally one can read the programs.
Jonathan Potter
Please stay with us. From ScreenX to DOpus, you evolved very much.
Ralph Babel
Very dry, interesting book, in which sect are you now?
Commodore, AmigaInc. ...
Don't dare to drop the Amiga like the Hippis the `68er. The Amiga is the Harley among the platforms.
Telekom
He, I still don't have a modem.
Quasar (White Box), CodX (Dialer/UnlimitedAcces)
Really clever how you fooled the Telekom back then.
William Gibson
Great books, I still don't understand one word.
William Gaddis
Master of the dialogue, pity that your time is over.
Nico François
PowerSnap is just great! RequesterTools anyway. PowerPacker was a must in times when buying a harddisk costed a fortune.
Georg Hörmann XFD
Fixed the old bugs in the decrunchers.
ASDG FACC
Your FloppyAccelerator inspired me.
TURBOBRAIN (D-Copy)
Your D-Copy finally brought X-Copy to an end.
Georg Heßmann
Your PasTeX made the Amiga able to print.
? SoundTracker+
The author is unknown, so I just thank
Tracer and DOCTOR MABUSE and UNKNOWN of D.O.C and MnemoTroN / Silicon League,
TIP of THE NEW MASTERS.
BAMIGA SECTOR ONE, RED SECTOR ...
Great intros, just very old.
Kai Nickel (MathX)
Another remnant of AMOK. Abitur (school leaving examination) is impossible without your program.
TRIAD (TitanicsCruncher)
Without your cruncher, one would have to buy RAM all the time.
Bert Jahn WHDLoad, Jean-François Fabre JST
Good work, finally the classic games work with AGA, too, and can be loaded quickly from the harddisk.
BullFrog (Populous, Powermonger...)
It is real fun to play god.
John Matthews (MultiPrint)
What did I have to suffer from print-programs until I found yours! Well, the handling could be easier.
BootX VirusX VirusZ ...
I believe it was you who killed these poor viruses; and if not you, then it was OS2.0.
Zeitschrift Computing C-16
I find it impossible to print programs on dozens of pages, which you had to type into your computer to play something.
Commodore C-16 PLUS 4
Was fun, especially because you could press some keys and break and disassemble and debug any given program.
Forum InformatikerInnen fuer Frieden und gesellschaftliche Verantwortung FIFF e.V.
Pretty Good Privacy PGP
Thanks for telling the people about the governmental fooling.
Michael Sinz (MKSoft Development), Bryce Nesbitt
Without DiskSpeed, no one had told me it was getting better.
The Enforcer is absolutly necessary for debugging.
Martin Mares (MJSoft System Software)
Your Resident Module Launcher, and SKick are really good, now you don't have to buy several ROMs each time.
Valenta Ferenc (Copper-Demon)
Great feeling.
Sylvain Rougier (ParM)
Your ParM is my ToolManager.
Stefan Becker (ToolManger)
I used the structure of your documentation.
Richard Körber (PatchWork)
See section D. Known bugs.
Thomas Richter (SaferPatches)
DiskSafe is a nice little tool.
Your SaferPatches solved the problem!
Harry Sintonen (HackDisk)
Your HackDisk assembler-sourcecode answered my questions.
Urban Dominik Müller, Dirk Stöcker, Bryan Ford and Christian von Roques
Your XPK-system is without competition.
all users who decided to register Future Drive Accelerator.
