Ok. Few obvious questions cause your answer is 'in shedure and rocking' and I have learned to suspect anyone giving those:

A) Does it boot up to WorkBenck on PPC only .. (like CSPPC)?

B) Is that mentinoed 68k Intergation finished?

C) Can OS4 be demoed on Cebit?

D)  ... running on Amigaone?

E) ... and using well known 68k apps?


I could comment about the worst part of development.. It's when during debugging you suddenly realize that all parts don't fit together as earlier was expected and some major parts of system goes to total rewriting. Are you surely pass that point that you know it'll all fits together and will work as expected?

@marktime
I have no idea how it's test OS4 but at the time Commodore was still doing fine I worked on small company that were part of their 'Commercial Developer Program' .. Thanks to that we also get those early docs and OS1.4 (later 2.0) beta releases.

At that time it was all a bit different... Getting beta-OS's  on diskettes alongside paper copies of early devdocs of new features of OS.  Having e-mails using private Uucp network (= Long distance dialup modems).  And yes.. at that time it was great  :-P

@davep .. I could go on and on and tell what I do these days and how I learned to distrust certain companies  but then other people here would attack me on repeating myself on time too many.  :-D
