OS4 on BlizzardPPC

@BBRV

You'll have to shift more than 600 boxes this time if you want OS4 on the Peg2, but nevertheless it's better than outright confontation and that can only benefit the platform.

Porting OS4 is just not going to be worth it for a market worth 600 units.... i'm sure Ben will correct me if i'm wrong.

Besides, you know whats going to happen now... Genesi will start trumpeting that the Peg2 is going to run OS4 (from this point on) , with no agreement (apart from a comment on irc) and IMHO little likelyhood of this happening....

I'm not saying it wont happen, I just think it's unlikely.

[Skyraker]

Another stumbling block just might be the idiots in the monkey house (AInc)...

IIRC they don't like Genesi too much.

@Rooney

Running it on a G5 Mac would be very tasty indeed, if a little expensive... I'm sure this has been done to death in previous threads, but apart from the obvious (Apple), what would prohibit such a port?

Ben?

@magic

Not alot of point coding games for the peg with the current user base.... most of hyperions stuff is now for Linux.

@bbrv

No, back in Blighty now......

Yeah, I know it's all about the future... whichever one that will be.

Neverthless, it's nice to see more solidartity in the community (on both sides) than was apparent last year. Can only be a good thing.

There's also the question of what happens to Morphos, alot of work has gone into it and i'm sure there are people who wouldnt want to see it on the sidelines.

@DCS

Perhaps I am being a bit negative.

To nitpick regarding os4 market.. it's got to be greater than zero.... some A1 units have indeed shipped....
