See, Amiga Operating System.
OS 4 has never been a target platform for Amiga's, yes it could run with a PPC card, but not on a basic 030/040/060!


So, Windows never ran on a 286 because Windows 95 required a 486?

Hint: OS4 is a continuation of the OS commodore shipped with the Amiga, based on the same source code base.

No it wouldn't. Windows 95 runs in 386 protected mode, and could not possibly run on a 286.



^ this.

Your analogy fails because Windows 95 wouldn't run on a 286, because the 286 doesn't have protected mode.
