will os 4 or can it be installed on one of the older G3 machines. i know it cannot be installed on the new intel mac machines, but could on the older G3-G4 machines with the PPC?


No. That would be dangerous because it could enlargen the userbase, generate sales, boost development and give some future to AmigaOS. That's why it won't happen.

that would seem a good idea in principle, but can you see apple letting out developer info on even 'obsolete' machines ?!


So how did they get LinuxPPC to run on Apple PPC?

People are always searching for reasons. Why don't they port to the Pegasos? Why is there no hardware for OS4? Why is the Classic PPC version not out yet? Why don't they port it to the Mac or to the PS3?

There is only one main reason: the bl**dy contract made between the AmigaOne partners (Amiga Inc., Hyperion, Eyetech).
