It just occured to me.....
What I don't understand is why classic ppc accellerators have not been emulated on a ppc apple in conjuction with UAE. If an OS4 compatable ppc accellerator could be emulated you'd then have OS4 classic running on relatively powerful hardware. I know it is probably not as easy as that, but it has to be less trouble than emulating a Sam or A1, just a classic expansion to get OS4.
If Hyperion's contract gets limited somehow, could they not pursue this avenue and develop OS4 for classic and have others open source the ppc emulation to get OS4 on other hardware. It'd be like buying the ROMS to get UAE working.
Incidentally...in light of OS4.1, is OS4 for classics compatable with current OS4 software?
