On the other side of the fence now, it is heard quite oftenly that, keeping your A4000/PPC will privilege you in using your old applications/games... how can that be possible under OS4? Won't there have to be drivers, that explain to the OS how to use the legacy hardware present?

Any "classic" Amiga with PowerPC card should be able to run OS4.


At least in theory! OS4 will have to be adapted to boot a A1200/ppc right? Can anyone make a rough prediction on what things should be changed to boot on 1200/PPC and how long hyperion would take to port them (judging from the time it took them to reach the present point)?
