Why not make Amiga OS4 run on Power Macs? Even a cheap E-Mac has better specs than AmigaOne.


I doubt Apple would a) Agree to Amiga Inc doggle b) Would allow any commercial OS on their hardware and not send in the lawyers.  YDL is of course, OSS.  

Don't you feel better about Amiga Inc protecting you from crappy Apples that don't meet their rigid quality inspection. ;)


Terrasoft ships Macs with YDL, with full warrantys etc, another company could do that with AmigaOS (with a much smarter USB dongle for instance) or even with MorphOS.    If Hyperion wants to dongle their OS, thats one thing, having the dongle on the motherboard, and only having one distributer for said board, is a whole other thing.  Its a failed idea from the folks that can't ship T-Shirts or coupons.
