OLPC hacked to run Amiga OS
« on: January 15, 2008, 12:17:39 AM »
From Engadget.com:

"Clearly a match made in heaven, the doomed-but-beloved Amiga OS has been made to run on the maybe-doomed-but-beloved OLPC. It's not running natively, sadly, so the real hack here is getting the Amiga Forever emulator running on NickNeg's baby, but still, this combination is just beautifully tragic."

I have to admit I hadn't noticed the original news item when I submitted this - but I think that any mention of 'Amiga' in Engadget (a very, very popular tech website) is worth a news item - but maybe I'm wrong.

IMHO Cloanto did a fantastic job in drawing publicity to Amiga (and their product)

I also found the reactions of the Engadget crowd entertaining - a good bunch of amigans also stood up to defend the faith :P
