"Well MacOS upto v8.1 can run on Amigas using the 680x0 processor. All you need is a program to boot MacOS such as Fusion, Shapeshifter etc.

On older Amigas, its possible to run Atari's GEM OS
with some boot software."

MacOS and GEM on the classic Amiga are ran via emulation. "boot software" implies some sort of bootloader.

Dr_Righteous asked if anyone had created an alternative OS for the Amiga. OS developement and emulation are quite different.
