Torture!
« on: December 07, 2007, 05:53:16 PM »
Got a brand new, boxed copy of OS4 on my coffee table, and nothing to run it on :-( Pleeeeease somebody fix it for the Mac soon (or give me a CSPPC ;-) ) To make me feel better about this torture I had to nip out any buy an iPhone :-D

At least we know OS4 Classic is real! (unless the CD is blank :crazy:)

Ehm, you bought OS4 for classic, but you have nothing to run it on (in the foreseeable future even)?

Correct. Having waited such a long time, there's no way I'm going to miss out on the opportunity to own OS4. I would really hate to one day get the hardware and then find the OS is no longer available.

I would also donate to a project to patch OS4 to run on a Mac.

hmm.. trouble is, If the OS was no longer available, then that would probably indicate outfit producing it has gone bump, or that they are no longer supporting it, in any fashion at all. This would probably mean that the hardware is in even rarer status, or is no longer working!

I'm not keeping hold of it while I wait for new Amiga hardware. I'm waiting for it to be patched to run on non-Amiga PPC hardware.

likewise, if you have the hw, but you can't buy the os.. you'd simply rip it because there is no way of getting it, and no way to support the people who made it.

And you would.

Would I? How do you know? Come back and make predictions about me ripping off software when you have been a member for longer than 11 days. If I was planning to rip OS4 of should it become available for hardware I own, would I have bought it now? :roll:

as i said.. If you suddenly had the hardware to hand.. but no where and no way to legitimately get the software you wanted, because it isn't manufactured anymore you would leave your expensive paperweight in the cupboard as opposed to nabbing a copy off your mate?

Why do you think I bought it now? To avoid that, perhaps?

Hi Teacup, yes you should have bothered. I have no idea why A1260 felt the need to make that comment :-?

@A1260
If you want to buy a CSPPC/BPPC/A1 to run OS4 then good for you. Some of us would like to run OS4 on different hardware. What exactly is your problem with this?

Yeah, surely the only people who care about the Amiga are the ones who are prepared to spend £500 on a 10 year old accelerator card which will probably break down :roll:

@PR
Sorry but your posts are totally impenetrable - I have no idea what you're on about! However, I will respond to this:

Will someone please hurry up and port OS4 to PPC Mac, I have a...." Why not do it Yourselve, Mate?

Do you think everybody has the ability to do that? Don't you think if I could do it I would?

Usually your non-coffee house posts are all very logical and objective, but recently it's just been:

"I am buying OS4 knowing I won't be able to run it , but wouldn't it be REALLY nice if I was able to run it.. can someone give me a very expensive PPC card or just port the classic edition to PPC Macs please"

Do you think I was serious about somebody giving me a PPC card? It can be hard to recognise sarcasm in text... And are you surprised there is a renewed interest in getting OS4 running on a Mac now it's available? Don't you think there is value in that given that the OS is finally available? Or would you prefer for OS4 to remain available only to those who own rare and expensive hardware?

By the way, I kind of resent being labelled a "Mac fanboy" (not that I'm 100% sure what that means) for hoping that AmigaOS 4 will be ported to run on a Mac. The only reason people, including me, want this is because Mac hardware is available, relatively cheap, powerful, and is technically capable of running (a modified version of) OS4. If anything wanting this makes one an Amiga fan - not a Mac fan - for wanting some way of running AmigaOS!

in that case porting it to x86 is better..

And how would PPC OS4 apps run if the OS was running on an x86 processor?
