Trying to understand if the lack of OS4 on efika is contractual or actual board limit.
Are both boards not PPC ,using PCI/AGP graphics,AHI sound ?Does Amiga OS4 even use any custom chips?
There is no reason why OS4 couldn't be made to run on the Efika. It would require some work by the OS4 dev team to get it booting, and to ensure that all the necessary drivers are there.
Historically, no company associated with Bill Buck had any chance of getting a license for OS4 since him and A.Inc. just couldn't work together (don't ask me why the two Bills couldn't get along).
Whether OS4 ever gets ported to the Efika is known only to Hyperion.
