if it was that easy to "patch" OS4 to run on a PPC based Mac, dont you think there would have been someone that would have accomplished this by now?

if Hyperion was smart they would have released this for the PPC Mac a long time ago.  Would there be more AmigaOS users had this decision been made?  You tell me how many OS4 users there are now + Classic OS4.. then think of how many PPC Macs there are available.  You do the math.   Its common sense, but in the Amiga world there is no such thing.

AROS will be BIG once it has a form of UAE integration built in.  After that it will be on par with and will exceed MorphOS and OS4.

Why do I say that?  AROS runs on cheap hardware.  Period.  Game over.  No need for a overpriced/underpowered A1 type machine or a EFIKA, Pegasos.  Thats just the hardware side.  Everything else is free unless you decide to donate to the cause.  I'll donate once I actually use AROS WITH UAE integration.

you could get sued for posting a picture or video of a OS running on a different machine?  Who would actually take that case??? LOL

I'd put it all over the web, putfile, youtube and other sources..  lol
