A3000 you say ?

should also be portable onto a beefed up A1200 then.
you'd only need to do new Gfx drivers for AGA - and only then to get the extra modes IIRC.
(what -are- the fundamental differences between the two ? aside from the bleedin' obvious of course...)

but yes, in ref to earlier comments here (howdy Kronos n Coder !) one of the PPC machines would be more worthwhile (SharkPPC ? :-p )

Yeah but we already have AmigaOS on the A3000/030. I cant see OpenBeos bringing anything better than what we already have.


yeah, but it'll be a laugh wont it ?
a>'I've got a decade old Amiga 1200'
b>'what OS is on that ?'
a>'Linux,MacOS,BeOS, QDOS, and last but not least, AMIGAOS !' :-)

besides its always fun to mess about with other OSes (apart from Windoze, I am forced to use that at work  :-x
