Amiga Hypervisor

You wouldn't run UAE on a classic Amiga, unless you were some kind of masochist. I tried it once, it was hilarious.

However, virtualizing the amiga on an amiga is not much different IMO as running Shapeshifter was. That actually worked quite well.

Well, the AmigaOS required far too much access to the hardware to virtualize properly... and without memory protection... utterly pointless

Come on Matt, don't be boring :p

If AmigaOS3.x could run on the Draco, then in theory it doesn't need to bang the hardware quite as much as you suggest.

ok, good point... I think I mean that the Amiga hardware wouldn't virtualize well... but the more I think about it, it just seems like a REALLY heavy way of multitasking, and the Amiga already has a beautifully lightweight way to do that already

Well, of course the second benefit is being able to run other 68K operating systems concurrently. Like amiga builds of linux, or dare I say it, AROS 68K ?
