Re: OS Enhancement Pack for 68K users - market demand?

Some additional info:

- Not all OS 4 Features are possible (without
  complete reimplementation of these features) on a  
  Non-PPC based System
- Some components which exist already on PPC
  or which are currently in process of moving to PPC
  do not get the 68k part updated anymore. Changing
  this would raise developement time needed, and
  I am sure we agree we do not want this :)
- As I said before I think that supporting a system
   where Windows can run on the same hardware
  (x86 with Amiga Emulation) is dangerous out of
  the viewpoint of the Application/Game Developer
- licencing issues
- 68k is a dead architecture
- The whole point of the 68k modules was not
  actually providing them to endusers, but to be
  able to Betatest before the system was up and
  running on PPC, nothing more (converting the
  stuff to C where needed and such things)
