But is this all about : "you're wrong, I did it, so shut up" ?

I'm sorry you see it that way.

And for the record I didn't do it, Mark Olsen did.

Academic anyway... what features of the quark microkernel are required to run MorphOS? Any chance you guys will swap it out and then recompile MOS for use on top of... maybe Linux/etc... and run it on an nice x86-64 machine? :-D

I doubt it is Quark holding back MorpOS from x86 but the endianess-problem of ABox. W/o same endianess no legacy compatibility (except you swap everything that is). Or do you have a plan how a lille endian process can share structs with a big endian process? And I really mean *share with* not pass to.
I am not good in informatics, but actually I do see the main prob here.

i d like to remember at all, that there is a PowerPC emulator for Windows that emulate very well MacOS pre X.
this emulator run MacOS and some application very whell and some games, like Tomb Raider

But, an emulator for AmigaPPC is tabu
maybe there are some interests that contrast this way...

MorphOS 1.4.5 could run using m68k drivers like S3 Trio64, S3 Virge and *Cirrus Logic GD5446* so don't assume they have a Radeon emulation for qemu, BigFoot could have simply updated a little the old MorphOS1.4.5 driver for PicassoIV and get MorphOS working.

Why isn't there a full-speed AmigaOne or Pegasos emulator (or virtual machine, whatever) that can be run on fast PowerPC-based computers (i.e. PPC Macs)?

I don't know about Pegasos but as far as the AmigaOne goes why would anyone want to emulate broken hardware?

PearPC hasn't beentouched in almost 3 years.  It suffered two devastating blows, first the death of it's principle programmer and then Apple's switch from IBM to Intel chips...

There's probably some way to get it to work with OS4, but it's not a task I want to undertake.

the way could be to adapt SheepShaver to run OS4 or MOS or to include in WinUAE a PowerPC emulation.
