It won't happen for the same reason you won't see MorphOS on a PS3, it would have to run on a hacked console.
Hyperion and the MOS developers wouldn't want to run the risk of lawsuits from Sony.


==Well that won't be necessary...

There is another system that it can run on.....Sony's own Zego blade servers.
> http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zego

The Zego was launched within the last year and is basically a PS3 system on a blade server used by Sony for its video editing broadcasting businesses (funny eh how this is SO Amiga?). The chip is like the Cell chip only fully enabled on the 8 cores (unlike PS3's which are disabled on one) so potentially it gives us 33% more performance than a regular PS3 setup. It runs on Yellow Dog (Linux).

The other card of course is the IBM PowerXCell 8i. This is a Cell-based PCI Express card that is basically a full computer on a card >

Or you could try to use IBM's range of Cell Blade Server which I think is more reasonable and logical.... > http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/bladecenter/hardware/servers/qs22/index.html
Using the QS22 APIs and tools, apparently it can run both x86 and POWER code without much work > http://www.beyond3d.com/content/news/640

The Cell is very powerful.....don't forget it can theoretically use up to 256GB of memory! And yeah it would have been nice to see how my 486DX 66 Overdrive faired with 4gig lol.

Now they try to extend the olive branch? That would've been a good thing to try...oh, two years ago?
 
I do love that the first response is Franko chiming in with an entirely appropriate and civil answer ;)

Yeah, and I love Franko.... :lol:
