But it is more compatible with most Amiga software since it can run 68k code using very low-level JIT emulation. OS4 and MorphOS must use E-UAE since they are PPC native.

I don't know where you're getting these ideas from, but MorphOS has both static and JIT 68k emulation built-in. You don't need to use E-UAE to run Amiga applications.

My understanding is that the latest OS4 prerelease has JIT now, too. It had static emulation from the first public prerelease.

It is interesting to note that the guy who made JIT was Bernd Meyer. His JIT code has not only been used for 680x0 emulation for the Amiga on UAE (WinUAE, E-UAE, etc.), MorphOS and OS4, but also for the BasiliskII Mac emulator.

Neither MorphOS or OS4 use Bernd's JIT.

MorphOS JIT (called "Trance") was written by Ralph Schmidt and Teemu Suikki. Some minor work on it has been made by other MorphOS Team members: Mark Olsen, Sigbjørn Skjæret, and myself.

OS4 JIT (called "Petunia") was written by Álmos Rajnai.
