Amiga on the IBM hardware?

[EngineersCake]

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but will Amiga run on IBM PowerPC hardware? (i.e. the Intellistation Power 185 or RS/6000) I know if it did, people would probably be talking a bout it. With the little research I've done, I haven't found anything.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply. Now how did Amiga get ported to those rare and discontinued boards and not to any mainstream hardware? (well, mainstream-ish) I've never actually seen an Intellistation or RS/6000 in person.

Also, there's an ODW with the Peg II on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pegasos-II-Open-Desktop-Workstation-/290607777969?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item43a992c8b1

Is installing Amiga on this as simple as instaling an OS on a WinTel machine?

[EngineersCake]

Haha! Thank for the alternative OS suggestions. Is it the software or the hardware that makes it so hard to port to different boards?

I read recently that a Mac LC could be modified with a ROM chip to become an A1000.

I very much doubt that, as the LC's hardware is entirely different. In the best-case scenario it would only run perfectly OS-friendly programs that didn't touch the hardware at all, and even then it couldn't do it very well without the blitter.

You're right about that. That was my mistake. It was NeXTStep that was running on the LC. I'm trying to familiarize myself with both systems.

Of course now I can't find the post on the NeXT forum. (le sigh)

Thanks for the info, people. (-:
