yea, That would pretty much solve everything and make everyone here happy. Official it will probably never happen though.

If someone does it though I would have no problem using it with my store bought copy of OS 4 though until somekind of new harware appeared.

@da9000,


Are you suggesting that you have made some kind of Amiga Inc. voodoo doll?

Good idea! How can I help... :lol:

the only guess I can make on why they havent released OS4 for PPC Macs is that its either not legal in some way or they dont think they can make any money off it.

Maybe thats what the whole lawsuit is about? who knows?

At $100 a pop, they would make a killing just off the OS curious folks that could pick up a second hand PPC G3-G4 Mac for next to nothing.

@recidvist,

Yea, right on. People are giving away Mac PPC hardware at this point.

You can get a G4 for next to nothing in my area right now.

$800-$1000 for a second hand PPC Amiga when you can get a faster blueberry G3 Imac for free?

insanity :crazy:  :crazy:  :crazy:  :crazy:  :crazy:  :crazy:  :crazy:  :crazy:  :crazy:  :crazy:

I thought that all the mini's came with Radeon 9200's. How could it be that different, that one would boot and one wouldnt? :-?

interesting.... Maybe the 1.5ghz G4 64MB Radeon is the "special" Mini it was made for?

Does anyone have a G4 Ibook to try this on.
They had almost the exact same specs as the Mini's

I sold mine last year! Damn! :oops:

@1260,

Explain to me how not allowing 75% of your potential user base to use your new OS in an already tiny market is a good thing?

Our "beloved" AOS 4.0 cannot get any more trapped then it is right now!
