Clean Room HyperionOS With Emulation
« on: April 03, 2006, 04:16:56 AM »
Is it possible for Hyperion Inc. to create a new, clean room operating system with PowerPC and 68K emulation for X86 + FPGA platform?

The OS will run exisiting AmigaOS 4 applications.

In 1980s, MS created IBM-DOS for the original IBM PC with special IBM ROM-BIOS. The IBM DOS use IBM Basic that use the BIOS calls. For the clone PC market, they created MS-DOS with compatible BIOS such as award, ami, phoenix etc. The MS DOS use GW-BASIC that does not use the ROM BIOS calls.

Is the same idea possible with Amiga platform?

Will this violate the agreement between Hyperion, Eyetech and Amiga Inc?
