OS4 questions - 68K compatible?
« on: March 23, 2003, 05:12:17 PM »
After reading the specs for OS4, I was still left in some doubt as to what it will run on.  Is it designed specifically for the A1?  The website jabbers on about 68K emulation and about various mini programs which I will never use, but never mentions if it will be classic Amiga compatible.  Will 3.9 be the last classic Amiga OS?
Cheers.

Ah, PPC.  PPC opens up a whole different bag of sugar-coated bonbons.  But is it classic?  I personally feel that the maximum spec for a classic amiga is 060 75, as soon as you add PPC, it becomes next-gen.  Not necessarily a bad thing, I would love to power-up my miggy, but would I be "selling out"?  My current set-up is worth over £2500 and I think I could spend that again, but is it really worth it?  If OS4 runs on my non-PPC machine at least I have the option.  If not, well 3.9's not so bad...
