Post by: DamageX on December 13, 2006, 06:24:51 AM: I'm sure the best thing for all of us is if AOS4 is ported to everything. After all, who else can claim that their OS runs on EVERYTHING? We just gotta find some poor sucker to do the actual work.

Post by: countzero on December 13, 2006, 06:28:49 AM: I think OS4 should ported over to a dead badger. Why ? Cause if it can run linux (http://www.strangehorizons.com/2004/20040405/badger.shtml), it can run OS4 too ! And we'll have no more shortage of 'hardware' badgers are pretty much available all over the world as far as I know.

Post by: Agafaster on December 13, 2006, 12:41:11 PM: OS4 should be ported to a herring.
then it can be used to fell trees.
Title: Re: Amiga OS 4 should be ported over to the Draco.
Post by: motorollin on December 13, 2006, 12:47:02 PM: On a more serious note, isn't the Draco a 68k machine? Which would mean OS4 would perform on that as well as it would on a 68k Amiga? (i.e. not very).

Post by: Agafaster on December 13, 2006, 08:47:43 PM: what I dont get is how porting OS4 to a large essentially featureless northern constellation will help...
