You know... that one of the things that puzzles me... why hasn't anyone started an open source version of Amithlon. I always thought of Amithlon as the way forward to x86. You have instant compatibility with old software and the means to convert everything to x86 over time. If only I had a clue how to do it...
A *LOT* of the work Bernie did, including the "on the fly" ELF modules that made Amithlon what it is, is closed sourced. Add in what H&P did to him, as well as Harald Frank, he's disgusted completely with Amigas and really wants nothing to do with them anymore.
Granted, this is off stuff from the dev groups and boards, from the 2001-2003 era. If they actually *PAID* him, he *MIGHT* do it, but I'm sure Hyperion would try and crush it, the moment they found out about it. The fallout with H&P is the fact he asked about ROM licenses, as well as one for 3.9, which they claimed they had, but in reality, never acquired from Amiga, Inc., hence all the turmoil.
