I'll start the ball rolling then  :-)

1. With the additional work and delays so far with OS4, how long (approx) will it be between the CSPPC and AmigaOne releases of OS4, or has the additional work required for the AmigaOne release been running concurrently and will result in an almost simultaneous release?

2. There are some items in the OS4 featurelist which are marked as "not yet done", such as NOVA and USB Mass-storage and HID drivers.  What is the current status of these modules and will they make OS4.0?

I would like to know how the situation really looks if Amiga Inc got
bust and the sub-license they have get redundant.

I just want to add something to this.  If AI go under, would Hyperion and Eyetech consider forming a partnership to purchase the Amiga trademarks etc?

A few more about OS4 features:

1. Will MediaToolBox (or whatever it is called now :roll: ) be able to resize and move partitions without losing the data on those partitions?

2. Will the CD-ROM filesystem be able to read DVD-ROMs?

3. Will software be included to play DVD Video?

4. How compatible is OS4.0 with older applications - both 68k and PPC - on CSPPC and AmigaOne hardware? (preferably from real-world tests)  Are there are any particular applications  that don't work or have problems? Are there any old games that do work :-D?
