It would have been the main CPU and the chipset would have been "Amiga" in name only as it was a clean break. Any compatibility would have been achieved through emulation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_Hombre_chipset

It would have been much like other console development, each generation a clean break with the previous. A different architecture etc. It's what they should have done, arguably, with the A1200/A4000.

It's all speculation anyway.


I read that the OS was expected to have something similar to "Rosetta" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software)

I think that a nice project would be to make a version of UAE completely hidden. As Apple said about Rosetta: " "The most amazing software you'll never see".

Windows/OSX/Linux, doesn't matter. Just double click the binary and the program runs on a window.
Sometime ago I got a version of AMOS just like that...

Really nice & promising software. Just need some installation scripts, and, in the future, the ability to run intuition apps...

It will run typical console binaries that do not rely on user interface (intuition) or graphics stuff.

Yeah, it's a shame he's developing it for OSX though as if it were targetted towards generic POSIX systems it might get more interest from other coders.

Well, looks like now his offering also Windows and Linux versions! :)
