It just needs an old, obsolete PC instead.
Or a new PC (or an Amiga or an Amiga Emulator or a Raspberry Pi)... You get the picture :)

I'm biased as I've been involved with AROS since 1999, but AROS68k is for rumming your old apps, and AROS on whatever modern hardware you have for running your new apps... How awesome is that? X

AROS is a great effort and it's usability rises every day. I find myself longing for the Intel version of AROS to implement an Amithlon style virtual CPU. I keep old Amigas around but I don't really keep old PCs. I do wish AROS had better hardware support but that will come in time.

I think there should probably be a pared down floppy version of the Wanderer to replace Workbench 3.1. Last I time I tried booting AROS 68K on my A1200, it required me to have a CD rom hooked up. Which can be troublesome with a stock case, especially now since I have an indivision mk2 taking up the space of the output area.
Moggen's Emumiga was a virtual 68k for AROS that would run 68k apps directly on the native OS... But he seems to have gone offline :-/
