Wanted: Volunteers to make OS4 and MOS hardware entries for Big Book of Amiga Hardw

[spirantho]

Why not just add a section for "machines designed for AmigaOS 4"? It won't take away anything from the rest of the site; if you don't want to see machines like Sams and X1000s just don't go into the new area.
It's not like there's anything sacred about 68k Amigas, they're all just machines designed to run AmigaOS on, or machines that were chosen to run AmigaOS on in the case of the A1XE: that includes 68k and PowerPC.

I would also include machines like the Peg 1 and 2 and Efika for MorphOS and the AROS machines like the iMica, but I would stop short of including generic PCs and Macs because they're covered by other websites; you have to draw the line somewhere, after all.

Matt, that's more or less what I was trying to say too.

I will never understand the way the word Amiga is treated like a holy name that must not be defiled. For goodness' sake- it's just a computer. If CBM hadn't gone but then the Amiga would definitely not be using a 68k CPU or legacy chipset either.

Let's keep perspective on this, please. Putting in a section for AmigaOs or Amiga OS or MorphOS or AROS isn't going to make Baby $deity cry.... but it will help people looking for hardware to run WhateverOS and that's a good thing. If you don't want to read that section, don't click on that link; the quality of your life will not go down because of its existence.

Agree with Blizz there - going to include one, make sure the rest of the comparable NG systems are covered.

Agreed here. Cover the systems that are designed at least partially with Amiga-likes in mind (e.g. Sam440ep, EFIKA), or that were chosen as "official" hardware in times of need (e.g. A1XE, iMica), as well as of course machines dedicated for Amigalikes (X1000, Pegasos 1, Peg 2). Put them in a seperate section for "Post-Commodore hardware running Amiga-like OSes" so it doesn't affect the rest of the BBoAH and most people will be happy.
