Downix, Kronos, Piru...I'm just amazed at how you post in these threads, and really...are amazingly patient with those who know less than you, and...you talk to them without really damaging their feelings overmuch.
I couldn't do it, I'd flame them in a half second.
But anyway...to the original point, of developing something that could emulate a sufficient environment to run the boxed OS 4 for classic Amigas.
I think there is little point. I understand the desire...but OS 4 will only seem important until you have it in your hands, and then your realize it didn't move the platform much.
Then you start itching for OS 5, or a modern browser, or flash, or java, or .mono or .net, or a decent game even.
OS 4 just isn't the answer. Neither is Coldfire. I don't care if it runs the equivalent of a 500mhz 68060...that is still dog slow.
OS 4 is still out of date, and behind the times, and nearly useless.
talk about being a party pooper...but thats not what this post is about.
I can handle AGA in emulation in UAE....all we need for a new amiga is the best of the old Amiga IP and ideas, wrapped in a completely modern motherboard and OS.
I would buy one, if someone could sell them and keep them in stock. Everytime I check back with genesi, they either aren't really stocking the product, or MorphOS is coming any day now.
The last time I had a pegasos...well other than it didn't seem to work, I couldn't get a CD to go with it.
Modern system. OS with dev. tools. Available to buy...all parts included.
Oh, now look who's being the dreamer....sorry for the rant.
