Title: Where to get Amiga OS 4
Post by: AmigaPixel on June 04, 2007, 10:44:57 AM

Ok, it might be dumb question that has been answered a thousand times, but where do you get Amiga OS4? Will it run on classic Amigas? :-?

You dont right now.

Maybe in the future. And yes it will be available to classic users. But only if you have an old Phase5 PPC card.

You could look for a second hand AmigaONE or uA1 that comes with a developer pre release of AmigaOS4.

AmigaOS4 (TM) won't be available for any hardware.

If Hyperion win, the name and a lot of the IP is gone and will have to be re-written.

If Amiga Inc win, the Kernel and a lot of the IP is gone and will have to be re-written.

Either way what is currently known as OS4 will not be available to be purchased.

Greedy little boys have killed it.
