A Falcon port would be nice... but my current focus is the ARM... I have a lovely 100Mhz ARM M3 (LPC 1768) dev board here, that is easy to program and great fun :)

4 Ghz Arm to be introduced by Freescale in 2011. I don't know about AROs for this platform, but there's been some push for a MorphOS ARM port.
AROS already has an ARM port... Pavel and michal have been working on a couple (iPhone and EFIKA) :)

ARM assembler is cool. As well as choosing whether to update the condition codes (which you can do on PPC too, of course) I love being able to conditionally execute instructions :)
ARM is lovely (With a fascinating history, hats off to Rodger/Sophie Wilson)... I can't wait until they get their HPC designs together... intel and AMD are gonna suffer big! :p

@bloodline, do you have any recommended sources of some good info where I could better acquaint myself with the ARM?

Thanks,
AmigaEd
To get started, I bought the ARM mBed board. that was a great choice as it gave me quick and easy access to a real chip with a full development environment.

A good book like the one Nicholas suggested is a good idea!

@dammy ;)

I still haven't managed to get that Atari ST working... It powers up fine, but I'm not having much luck sourcing a video lead or mouse... I would love to see AROS on this thing :)

Do you have an old Amiga mouse?

Some of them had switches to let them work on an ST.
I used to have an old Squick mouse that had the switch, but I sold it (19) years ago :)

I'm not going to spend any money so I need freebees ;)

Why not just use AROS x86 on a x86 MAC  -- I mean, why settle for anm old G4 MAC when you can power up a cheap iMac x86 which looks way cooler :-)
AROS x86 already run just fine on x86 Macs... So that not a challenge. What is interesting here is to see how An AmigaOS would run on 68k machine that were around at the time of the Amiga.
