I bet he could have got AmigaOS converted to x86 for 200000 quid!


Tension, Spot on my friend. Why spend all this money in developing custom PowerPC hardware when modern x86 hardware is more than up to the task of running AmigaOS and even in emulation the old games run smoothly.

What I'd like to see - is AmigaOS x86 native. Then it would be really cool to have the UAE made to run within AmigaOS so I can keep my nostalgic stuff around with the new.

200,000 Euro would have gone a good way towards making that possible.

Queue the but we already have AROS crowd. I'd personally like to see AmigaOS 6 be native x86 and Open Source with Hyperion being the ones to control the code base.
