Proposal

If only it were that easy...

Ultimately, one of the two would have to give up on their OS (I cannot see merging the dev teams working).  Hyperion wouldn't let AmigaOS stop development, that's for sure, and while I've no idea what the MOS devs would think I'd imagine that it would be similar.  Hardware-wise there would probably be more luck (maybe even just joining forces to obtain higher quantities of PPC processors at lower prices) but there's simply too much mutual distrust for it to work IMO.

BTW it's Genesi - Genesis is a TCP/IP stack ;-)

Genesis is life from lifelessness.  It is a process whereby the molecular structure is reorganized at the sub-atomic level into life generating matter of equal mass...

Wow - I really must upgrade my A1200 to OS3.9 someday; that kinda feature would be cool - who says that AmigaOS isn't at the cutting edge :lol:

MorphOS is still the wobbly fawn and it's almost like some sort of conspiracy to put the knife in and twist it just as the Amiga was about to be reborn.

Blame the previous management of Amiga - AFAIK MOS was started before OS4 was announced.

I also think the AmigaOne should have had more than just a ROM checker for AmigaOS4. It should have had custom chips or at least sockets to implement them!

I think it should definitely have a "proper" kickstart, however the days of a custom chipset are gone, I'm afraid.  The closest you'll get is the integrated GFX and sound on the Micro-A1.  Maybe if the Amiga was to become a console, but they'd never be able to rival people like ATI and NVidia.

Anyway, it's time for an Amiga TV-games joystick methinks (like the Sega, Atari VCS and Namco ones).

Now that would be cool - only in a retro way, of course, but I'm sure I'd make a lot of money.
