>Note that AmigaOS 4.0 does have a 68k emulation feature since PPC is an entirely different family compared to 68k series.
I never forgot it. There are alot of 68k based binarys out there so some form of emulator is needed to support them. In a perfect world, all those coders would pull out thier sources and do PPC compiles of thier SW. I think the major apps will be PPC anyway. And under OS4 with all the new features added. It's easy to forget that the OS is just expanded and execSG is just an extended exec68k for PPC. I expect that even with 68k emulation for the PPC that there will be some problems with some apps because of the new OS features. It happens in EVERY os change. But hey, at least were not re-wrapping a linux or QNX kernal and calling it AmigaOS or Amiga Set Top Box. (a la Gateway)
>PS; I recall Bernie has the license from Amiga Inc.
Last i heard he still does but he took his leave. I still can't make sense of this announcement though. Do they plan on finishing code? What's Bernies take on all this?
>Regardless what happens, the AmigaOS has to migrate to another CPU family (forced by Motorola's decision for abandoning the 68k in regards to desktop computing segment leadership).
Indeed, when the first PPC came from Motorola who didnt want AmigaOS on PPC? It's taken a while but were here.
