PowerPC accelerator - how does that work then?

Well if you don't want any of that old hardware, go ahead and throw it my bin.

I sold it many years ago :-)

and didn`t provided OS 3.9 code as assumed in original plan.

Oh, you can blame Haage & Partner for that...

Problem is that all app and game development software houses didn`t have that kind of patience in shrinking market situation.

For companies staying with Amiga was only waste of time. The market was not growing at all while other platforms were booming.

And even today if mass produced (ordered) PPC chips could be affordable and fast enough for some last MacOS X, maybe ReactOS, Android, Linux, MOS and AmigaOS 4 - but CUSA likes to play on what`s easily avail and sure and not to really invest in R&D. And nuff about rebranders of everything including Amiga name.

Commodore didn't choose 68000 because they wanted to make Motorola big. Motorola was already big and successful with their 68000.

This is how it should work with PPC chips. Freescale and AMCC make it big. Freescale have been trying it very hard but I guess they are failing...

Nevertheless the market situation is not in our hands. If CUSA is scucessful with their products, good for them. If not, I still dont care.

I enjoyed MorphOS on my Amiga 1200 with BlizzardPPC and I still enjoy it on my Mac mini, Efika, everything. Even if I consider BPPC/CSPPC ddin't deliver what I expected in 90s.

Hope that it was nice educational voyage :-)

Thanks :-)

Well, since OS 3.9 just couldn`t make that much revenues, they could donate source code. Even today OS 4.1 misses some small features of OS 3.9 and it took significant time to catch up from PPC 3.1 code to all 3.9 features and beyond

For companies staying with Amiga was only waste of time. The market was not growing at all while other platforms were booming.

True, Freescale did it at Apple PPC times, IBM with consoles, but sadly AmigaOS just missed those times (even making OS4 work on a bit older PS3 that allow OS would be like X1000 for everyone alongside great Yellow Dog Linux, but yet they choose Acube/A-EON Alliances)

Nevertheless the market situation is not in our hands. If CUSA is scucessful with their products, good for them. If not, I still dont care.

In my own opinion, if something kills them it will not be angre me: it will be their own stupid strategies, announcements and choices: like one to move Amiga line to "PRO" category and compete with most expensive PCs

I enjoyed MorphOS on my Amiga 1200 with BlizzardPPC and I still enjoy it on my Mac mini, Efika, everything. Even if I consider BPPC/CSPPC ddin't deliver what I expected in 90s.

To me it was like puting ferrari engine in old Fiat 500 ... :-)
But it worked, lived and allowed MOS to develop as well as pathway for decision to make OS4 PPC

Thanks :-)

It is good to serve this small community. Sadly, low number of users goes with slow SW development and weird HW prices and avaliabilities, but we managed to live with it
