AmigaOS runs on Mac MINI! Moana Project revealed!

AMIGA OS RUNS ON MACINTOSH PPC!  

Didn't they say that would be impossible since Apple would not give out information needed to do the port?  What's changed since they told everyone that it wasn't possible to do a OS4 port to Macs?   Oh yeah, they ran out of Teron mobos to sell with OS4. :lol:

So come on A.inc do something for once and licence this port and you never know you might even make some money, I know I'd be ordering several copies.

The only way you will see OS4 released is if AI wins in court and gains all source code and object rights away from Hyperion.  Hyperion is out of the picture entirely with their contract terminated.  AI has taken their Boing Ball home and that is the end of the story for OS4. :horse:

We'll see. I certainly hope that a solution will be found at the end. I'm glad that the development of OS4 is still continuing.

Contract has been terminated. Even if they get to keep the source code, what are they going to do with it without Amiga related trademarks and logos?  :horse:

Hmm, true, Hyperion can own OS4 only in case of Amiga Inc. bankruptcy, if I recall correctly.

Which isn't legal under US law and the contract agreed any legal proceeding would be covered under US (orginal contract was under WA and artic was under CA) law.

Under US law, if a contract contains illegal stipulations is the *entire* contract made invalid or just the illegal parts?

IANAL.  There is no hard yes/no, as far as I understand it.  Since that clause was never used, it's a "so what" catagory.  If it was something major, then it would give both parties options to void the contract and seek legal protection.  Today, it really does not matter since AI opted to terminate the contract by giving Hyperion due notice; which was called for in the contract.  :horse:
