Endianness doesn't matter. You could make an x86 OS with integrated 68k emulator along the same vein as MOS and OS4, if you wanted.

But the 68k code would fail when if tried to make an AROS x86 function call since the byte order in the data structures would be backwards.


No it wouldn't since you take that into account when you write the emulator.

Unless you have a better idea... if so I would love to have you join teh AROS team and develop your idea :-)


No chance. I'm not interested in AROS. It seems like a really nice project, but I have OS4 :-)
