I don't advocate piracy of any kind, but in this case I wish the person(s) who have figured out how to run OS4 on a MacMini would "accidentally" leak that information and/or code to the Net.  It would then be used with the same OS4 package that is being sold for the Classic PPC Amigas and would explode the sales of OS4 to ten times what is selling now.

It makes sense, as they are not making any money on proprietary hardware with the Classic version of OS4, so why not make money for sales of Classic OS4 to be used on any PPC Mac?


This is exactly what needs to happen for OS4, and Hyperion cannot be held liable . . .  :-D

 We might be better off with a Mac_PPC AROS or whatever.

Maybe write Amiga "themes" for Linux OSes ?


AROS, is due to hit prime time in 2010 IMO.  Thats too long to wait.  :devildance:

Linux  :headwall:  :headwall: with Amiga themes is still Linux  :smack:

Off Topic.

What piece of hardware does AROS run native on ie . . . Graphics, sound, enet etc. . .  And I mean stable, not hosted?

Is AROS going to be a complete OS by 2010 (a time/date I picked years ago)?

Good luck, looking good so far . . .  :-)
