Back when I used my Amiga all the time, I actually used Netscape inside FUSION to surf the net and get email. It was much better than any Amiga browser, and FUSION allowed easy switching between the Amiga and Mac sides. With the special interface in FUSION, I had a Netscape icon on WB that launched Netscape in FUSION, then switched to the Mac screen. Simple.

From what I recall FusionPPC was an unfinished, buggy, horrid mess.


The things it ran did so rather well. For the time, it was pretty nice. These days, it would be better to make an Amiga version of one of the open source PowerMac emulations, like SheepShaver or Mac-on-Linux. M-O-L can run OSX (up to 10.4) these days. The main issue is again speed and memory. Amiga PPC accelerators were slow with small amounts of memory (by OSX standards). OSX 10.3 runs like a dog on a 400 MHz G3 with 128 MB of RAM, but Amiga PPCs will generally be far slower and might have that much RAM. OSX is much happier with 256 or 512 MB. Finally, only WarpOS supported the low-level features needed to run a Mac environment. PowerUP doesn't cut it. No idea on if MorphOS can handle it or not.
