OS/2 for PPC on A1/PEG?
« on: February 09, 2004, 06:06:43 PM »
Hello
From 1992-1996, IBM spent several billion dollar to develop OS/2 for PowerPC, but unfortunately the project failed and abandoned. Today Mensys / Serenity had bought OS/2 for X86 license and re-sell it as Ecomstation 1.1
If Mensys bought OS/2 PPC license, port it to modern 32 and 64 bit PowerPC (ie AmigaOne, Pegasos platform) , is there any hope / future for this OS?
Thx.

OS/2 for PPC wasn't kept up to date as OS/2 for x86 was, and would need a lot of work to be brought up to snuff.
