Maybe Eyetech should make a 1.4Ghz G4 a possibility, too?


That would of course be up to the designer and manufacturer of the boards, not a distributor like e.g. Eyetech or others.

But Iook, right there, yes, the goddamn topic of this thread, a dual 1.42 GHz G4 machine staring you in your face! Or the dual 1GHz low-end machine, for $1499, a complete and well-equipped computer, while the company you mention sells a bare motherboard built with year 1999/2000 standards with one older G4/800 for $800.

The obvious solution is to port AmigaOS to the cheaper, better, faster and more easily (and currently) available machine. So nobody's licensed to sell it with an absolutely meaningless "AmigaOne" label. Screw that.

Will Apple allow Hyperion access to all the documents needed to write the drivers (or the HAL) for that machine?


Why would Hyperion (or a third party driver/HAL developer) be allowed less access to the docs than anybody else?
In addition, the Linux, *BSD and Darwin/OpenDarwin driver and kernel source and docs is freely available if developer.apple.com and opensource.apple.com should be considered insufficient.

Modern "Jobsified", "New World" Apple hardware is in essence just about as "closed" as, say, a Teron board...

Just don't expect any extra help if you come waving with a license contract in Stevie-boy's face... ;)
