I'd settle for a 603 based Mac.  I'd settle for any computer <$1000 complete that I could buy another copy of OS4 for.  I'm dying to buy my other half a computer for Christmas that she can actually use.  This UAE on XP garbage just doesn't do the job.  And, as much as she liked Solaris 10 on my UltraSparc, I want my last remaining UltraSparc back.
I will probably settle for a new MacMini.  Someday when I can get her an OS4 capable machine I can always sell the MacMini.

No, it wouldn't hurt AInc, Hyperion, etc, that we know of.  But, what if they, or someone else is spending big bucks right now developing a new PPC board for us?  Who does that hurt?  Obviously the PPC board developer.  But, also, those of us who don't want to give up our A3000's for Mac hardware.  Do I really care though?  NO.  I would buy a few more Mac's and a lot more OS4.

Yes, I'm sure ACK and Elbox are *HOT* on that market!Just make a patch already and I'm buying a copy. Frak AI and all their BS.


I agree 100% with all but the Elbox part.  I thought for sure Elbox would have started some new advertisements the first day OS4 was officially announced for 'Classic`'s.  But I have a hard time imagining why they are being quiet considering they have no hardware to design, proof, and produce, and surely they would have worked out the software already.  Who knows though.. :-?  Maybe they actually have some sense and are looking into something even more modern, or maybe they're just having a hard time finding these old boards they were going to relabel!

I believe OS4 on (old) Macs would dramatically increase the size of the Amiga community.  Before you know it, OS5 replaces OSX.  Hmmm...  :idea: What would the Amiga girl look like on the TV commercial, "Hi, I'm an Amiga".  "And I'm a Mac".  "And I'm a Peecee".
