OS for the X1000

[jorkany]

The real question is: does OS4.2 support the XMOS chip and Xorro bus, and does it utilize the second CPU core? Because those are the features that pretty much justified the creation of the X1000 in the first place.

You're stuck in hardware land.  An emulated '020 can be way faster than the fastest hardware '060, unless of course you're throttling the emulated '020 to a particular speed.

Living in his hardware land
Making all his hardware plans
For '060 emulation

There is nothing awesome about this, the thing failed on planning/design stage already (that performance to that price), and actually pushing it through to a real PCB is nothing but moronic. It won't do anything at all for Amiga. It won't even do anything at all for OS4 either, other than showing the world that *if this* was what they had to offer, then there is no serious plan for OS4, no sustainable future, etc, and the people behind the OS4 project are sitting in a stasis field with tin-foil hats to shield them off from the reality the rest of the world lives in.

Pretty much agree 100%.

Does this really need its own thread? At least Aeon and Hyperion are actually doing something to help the Amiga community

What have Aeon and Hyperion ever done for the Amiga community?

Oh wait, I see where you're going with this! Yes, I guess tearing the community apart qualifies as "doing something for it".

what are you doing other than hoarding computers that other people could be using?

I can't answer for someone else but I can say, this isn't a charity.
