It's not coming for a long while and IMO probably never will, Amiga Inc tried to make a quick buck by insisting that only 'licensed' boards can run OS4, this basically amounts to slapping an extra chip on a completely ordinary PPC board that the OS checks for, the chip contains no information other than this 'license' so it's not like the ROMs for the old AOS.


Not really an extra chip... more of a custom bootstrap code in the BIOS... The OS can only be loaded by this custom code.
