That's the problem of the Amiga in the last 10 years. No company who ever owned Amiga wasn't able to produce new Amigas. There are many days I ask myself why couldn't Hyperion produce an Amiga OS4 for the x86 platform, or for ppc Mac. With an x86 version of AOS4 many of us who own or owned a classic Amiga and now are sitting in front of an Windows or Linux system would be run to the next dealer around the corner to catch one package of AOS4. And I believe that this market would be a much bigger one than the 1000 or less Amiga Ones they've bought until today. For a price of about 100 Euro by about 1 millions sold packages, what a great deal it would be. But I think we will never see this x86 version or a version that would run under Mac OSX on ppc platform, because they dont't really believe in the succes of these OS and these versions. We got Windows as mainstream system, Linux as developer system and MAC OS as designer system. And now where Apple has left the ppc market, is there a future for ppc hosted systems ?
But by the way, is there a way to run AOS4 under the Mac platform and furthermore on which computers was AOS4 developed before the Amiga One hardware was finished ? I think there must be an emulation platform for AOS4 to develope. Anyone who knows something about ? It would be a great pleasure to develope programs for AOS4 but without hardware it isn't really so easy.
