My main point is there CAN'T be two companys called amiga inc at the same time, just like you can't start another "blockbuster" or "sony".


My understanding (and I admit I only have a vague understanding here) is that two companies can share a name, as long as they're in different fields. If, say, one Amiga Inc. was a florist and didn't touch the computer market, they could have the same name as the computer/software company.

(Again, I might be wrong!)

I think getting OS4 working via PearPC would be a great idea. Anyone know if its possible?


Not legally, unless you have an A1 and a legal copy of OS4. Then again, aren't A1s reference boards or something with some kind of dongle to stop OS4 being used on other hardware? If so, I can't see why it couldn't (theoretically) be done.
