The closest comparisons would be to OS/2 or Mac OS X and how they handled legacy applications (Win16/DOS for OS/2 and MacOS for Mac OS X) but that's also not completely accurate due to the nature of the AmigaOS itself.
What about Java VM sandbox model?
Does Gensisi provide press diagrams of their architecture like Microsoft’s NT Executive lectures?
(Sorry about the mentioning Windows NT since I'm only trained in Windows NT system programming.)
Ok, where do you get your information? MorphOS is not hosted on anything. The Quark microkernel is as essential to it's operation as ExecSG is to AOS4. You seem to be implying that the ABox is an OS on it's own.
I recall there was a “A-Box kernel 68k” and “PPC Quark micro kernel”.
