NextSTEP on the A3000 would have been amazing.

Don't bore me with that NextSTEP crap. BeOS all the way!


BeOS didn't exist back then.

Both NextSTEP and BeOS were around when Commodore went AGA so either one could have been used with the AGA chips. I choose BeOS.


Next STEP was written for 68k hardware, BeOS for RISC. There is an unfinished port of Haiku to Aranym so you may get your wish eventually.

BeOS did not exist until well after CBM went bust and a decade after Tramiel wanted to buy Amiga.

Haiku for Atari Falcon 030

Can be run on Aranym VM. (Once it's released that is)

They should have fired Mehdi Ali and prized JLG away from Apple.

Having thought about it, having JLG in charge CBM would probably still gone bankrupt but at least we would have had a kick arse OS and fancy new hardware to go with it.
