Blasphemy (I know, I know ...... but ?????)

I must agree, the whole Amiga world has shrinked so much that thinking of a proprietary hardware sounds insane. Dave Haynie once said the same thing, common hardware (x86) is the only way out.

But Amiga Inc would have a lot of driver writing to do to make this work, possibly even would have to trash all development and start over to accomplish OS 4 running on Intel based hardware... which would be way to costly.

I don't understand why people think that x86 version of AmigaOS would have to contain drivers for all available PC hardware. Let it be only 1 commonly available motherboard with 1 commonly available gfx card and a couple of other needed add-ons. That would be far more better than what we have now (drivers for not-manufactured-and-expensive A1 only).

Support for other boards and cards could be added later. Take a look at Linux, it didn't support all of the HW at the start, today the support is very good.

No need to worry. If such a "feature" will be there it will be hacked in couple of weeks after the release.
