That's not true, there is a version of OS4 for classics with PPC boards,


Some betatesters have a version, but thats no gurantee (sp) that it will actully be released. It's just as much existing as MOS1.5, PIOS-PPC, BoXeR, etc....

and also allegedly for the PowerVixen A1200 add-on.


Mmmm, now lets get down to the facts:
- Hyperion say (just a good week ago) that there is no HW fo OS4, and given their usual PR-style we can safely assume that they wouldn't have made such a statement if that hope of changing that real soon.

- soon after ACK claims the PowerW^HVixen had gone into production, which (again comparing to his past PR-style) probraly means as little as ordering the PCB for the very first proto.

The PowerW^HVixen would need a lot of adaption (different IDE-controller, slighly different PCI-setup, requirement of accessing AGA etc), so there is absolutly no chance of a working OS4 on it, even if Hyperion would have gotten one hours after the IRC-chat.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
