I've not followed things for a while. The last time I was actively following things was when the Amiga One was in production and OS4 was in development. Then there was some kind of lawsuit and lots of gnashing of teeth and everything seemed to go to hell in a hand basket. Where do things stand now from a hardware and OS standpoint? Is Hyperion still actively developing OS4? Is someone at least trying to get hardware out there? Is anyone porting OS4 to the x86 platform (I know, that's akin to blasphemy, but the PPC is, for all intents and purposes, dead)?
OS4 development is on-going despite the continuing legal saga. Supposedly there is work on getting more hardware supported, but with the lawsuit(s) going, I doubt that we'll hear more about that. The only people who could port OS4 to x86 are those with access to the source-code; AFAIK, they're all working on improving the OS, rather than migrating to a different CPU.
