Amiga OS4.1 on VMWARE

[Karlos]

Hooray. True Amiga-style... :-(

Kolla poses a perfectly valid question. There aren't any places you can buy it that give you the slightest impression it will work on x86 machines

As I said, you'd need to use qemu or pearpc to stand even a remote chance. VMWare isn't going to help you run a PPC guest OS on x86/64 host hardware at all.

Isn't pearpc dead, anyways? I remember hearing something about the maintainer passing away a few years ago..... Shit was pretty fast when I remember it. Sad it never saw the light of day.

Hmm, I didn't know that; it's a real shame. If you can find a binary that works, I'm sure it has scaled reasonably well with faster x86 hardware that's come on since.

Apple's move to intel rendered it irrelevant.  That and the primary developer was killed in a bicycle accident...

PearPC did work well though, I had a copy on my old Gateway laptop and it ran PPC OSX very nicely.  I might still have it on DVD somewhere...

Yeah! That's what it was. I was fairly sad when I read that.
