So I guess we're stuffed then. A shame really! I hope OS4 for classic PPC machines will come with a new ROM chip (kickstart 4.0?)


Why should it ? OS4 loads the entire Kickstart from disk into fast memory. This is much more efficient than a slow ROM chip.

Also you have to consider that Kickstart 4.0 is PPC native but when you power-on the machine the 68k is active only. So having a PPC kickstart in the ROM chip would just crash.
