This development raises an interesting question.   Why buy custom hardware to run OS4 when you can use an off the shelf PC.

How do they compare on features, stability and performance?

I'm not really that interested in running OS4 myself but this is an interesting development.
Life begins at 100 MIPS!


Nice Ports on AmiNet!

I ordered a copy of OS4.1 for Classic last night, woop woop :drink:

I'm gonna install it on a fairly snappy x64 laptop I have over here, hopefully the emulation is speedy enough...  :hat:

You can get AmigaOS 4.1 for Classic Amigas from AmigaKit:

Holy crap Marko you mean this is the answer to our long awaited OS4.x laptop :idea::huh:

That's cool and also sad at the same time......

It must be good for the market in the long run. You now have a cheap entry level system. Someone who prefers AROS on x86 can boot up OS4 to use a piece of software they need.
You really have a buffet of OS choices.

People who want the hardware (and can afford it) will still buy it.

@ ElPolloDiabl

I agree if it works seamlessly and can boot up right into OS4.x then it's a win-win

Already did it with my macbook pro.

Playing with Picasso96Mode allowed me to get the emulated PicassoIV up to 1440x900 fullscreen:
