How do you define "true" clone ?

The Draco did not run anything that relied on OCS (or AGA) graphic and sound, what little compability it had was reached by featuring orginal Amiga-CIAs so the OS could setup it's timers. Think of it as Amithlon done in HW. Far from what I would call a "true" clone.

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

Draco does not and cannot "run AmigaOS" as you claim.

Draco runs "part of AmigaOS" and it just fails on all the parts of AmigaOS 3.1 that it doesn't feel like being compatible with. :ExplodingComputer:


@Kronos
We need a smiley of an exploding computer :)


And what am I supposed to do about that ? Actually I can't find a single smiley right now....

Back to topic:
Offcourse it does run AmigaOS.
