AmigaOS3.999 or OS4 for 68k?
« on: June 22, 2003, 08:14:57 PM »
As everybody knows, AmigaOS4.0 development goes on 68k processor. The full OS is written in C, so its now compiled to PPC, to run on CSPPC.

My question is, why not release OS4 to 68K, if it already works on 68k???
It could be 3.999...

Why discrime the Classic Amiga users from the new features of the AmigaOS4?
Many people, like me use his old Miggy, because they love it :)

So, is it bad for Amiga to have some more customers for OS4?

Can somebody answer this question?

regards

OS4 runs on 68k at the moment. its developed on it. So it wont be much slower than OS3.9. On a 66mhz 060 it would be useable.

If I want to upgrade to A1, I will. Its not depends on 68k version of the OS I think.
I just dont want to leave my old miggy away...

It runs on 68k belive me :)

I have OS4 betatester friend, who testing the OS on his Classic Amiga with 060 + Gfx card. And making locales for the OS.

So it RUNS on 68k. And now compiled to PPC to be presented at OS4 tour.
But It still NOT run on AmigaONE, because the very different hardware. They need time to make it use the A1 hardware.

So AmigaOS4 runs on 68k and CSPPC at the moment.

Why not release then the 68k version too? not only the csppc version...
