@mdma:
Genesi buy the rights to Amiga IP. No "Dongle" required, you can run AOS4 when it comes ot on the choice of motherboard you want, just like you can with Windows/Linux/DOS,
How do you come to *this* conclusion? Currently MOS runs on Pegasos, and it will be released for Classic Amigas equipped with PPC accellerators.
That's about it, dongle or not.
According to Mr. Buck, there will be no Teron/A1 version. A Mac version was announced, but last thing I heard about that project was that it would be a self-booting CD, acting as a kind of "content-engine" to deliver MOS applications to Mac users.
be it an A1/Pegasos/Teron/Barbie/Apple/IBM or any boards that may be released in the future.
The Barbie has been "put on hold" according to the guy working on it. The only Teron reseller is Eyetech.
Your choices for a PPC motherboard currently are: Eyetech, Genesi, Apple. OS4 will run on Eyetech's offerings, MOS on Genesi's motherboard. If, when and how one of the operating systems will be available for Macs remains to be seen.
