Hyperion OS4 BPPC Survey.

I haven't got a PPC so it's not up to me to decide.

But if it was me, i wouldn't do a Blizzard version. I even think they should not have done a Cyberstorm version.

Why? As Skipp604 says, we need a new start. A new modern OS supporting new modern hardware. The old Amigas have been hacked, mutilated and are having expansions sticking out of every possible hole. I think the end is reached there.

I do have a lot of respect for PPC card owners because they took a big risk to support the Amiga platform (even thought about buying one myself to watch demos).  But these cards are, one have to admit, a hack, something that will never have optimal performance.

OS4 + new modern PPC hardware. That is the only solution to have a future. The rest is history...

Then I'll ask the question again, why choose such an antiquated system, as the G3 (and G4) if there was no intention to support the existing userbase?

Well, i think there is quite a difference. i'm not talking about the CPU alone, but the whole architecture (RAM access,harddrive access,...). Something entirely different than two very old cpu's on an expansion  card which goes into a motherboard that is 10 years old.

What you were probably hinting at is x86. Well, i would have loved to see OS4 on x86 but that discussion has been done over and over. It's their decision and i understand the reasons behind it.
