You should start making the most basic part (040+128MB ram) working. Then people will start to believe you.

Does the PPC part have access to Amiga memory? I mean chipram, amiga custom chips... if that's the case you could disable 040 and use a JIT as it will be much faster.

AROS-PPC may be a good OS for your PPC part.

Jason McMullan has said that if somebody gives him a Mac Mini he would be willing to add MorphOS compatibility to AROS-PPC.

IIRC WarpOS/PowerUp require to share some memory so you may need to emulate 040 to make them work.

To me, the upside of potentially running existing PPC software isn't really a factor when you consider the improbability of OS support.


Then a x86 cpu running a 680x0 JIT (and perhaps PPC JIT to emulate CSPPC) may be perfect.

Using an incompatible PPC makes no sense. Please choose a PPC with compatible FPU.

@Tahoe
Would he be willing to open source WarpOS? it could be useful for AROS-PPC :-)
