@A1260
If you want to buy a CSPPC/BPPC/A1 to run OS4 then good for you. Some of us would like to run OS4 on different hardware. What exactly is your problem with this?

What Moto said.

Does it matter what kind of hardware you're running the OS on?  If the program runs flawlessly wether I'm on a A1 or Mac Mini, does it matter?

Isn't it more important to get the OS out there, start developing and using it all over the place, rather than draining the leftovers of our dying hardware?

C'mon.  We either have to start cloning new hardware, or we'll have to move on to a new platform.  I don't mind both.

We've heard that before even from Carl and from Dave but
I don't know it just doesn't seem to sink in.
AmigaOS or MorphOS on x86 would sell orders of magnitude more than the current, hardware-intensive solutions. And they\\\'d go faster. --D.Haynie

@skurk,

Let me know if you have any luck with that! I'll pay you for the patch! :-D


For legal reasons it would be better to say that you'll give a  monetary "gift." Wouldn't want anyone to be thinking that he's selling it would you (even if he does accept money in exchange  for giving it to you)? ;-)

I'd pay a fortune if one of you drama-queens ever would follow your "threats" (I prefer to call them promises  :-P ) through.

No, not just putting some letters into the forum, but doing it literally...... would have saved us some of the worst trolls.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Got a brand new, boxed copy of OS4 on my coffee table, and nothing to run it on :-( Pleeeeease somebody fix it for the Mac soon (or give me a CSPPC ;-) ) To make me feel better about this torture I had to nip out any buy an iPhone :-D

At least we know OS4 Classic is real! (unless the CD is blank :crazy:)

The torture part is the fact that you've wasted so much money?

jesus chris, more of these "os4 on mac" whiners, your just a bunch of cheapskate. go buy the hw that is necessary to run the os and shut the f**k up!!!  :-x


Good idea! I'll just go and buy the hardware...no, wait, the hardware to run it isn't manufactured! :crazy: What is available is very expensive, and I'm not rich enough to spend that sort of money on what is essentially obsolete hardware.

Seriously, if it annoys you so much don't read the posts rather than complain about it.

I too would like to see OS4 available to run on a PPC Mac (either officially or through an unofficial hack.) I would quite happily buy a second-hand Mac Mini to run it on.

I have not bought OS4.. Money, you know..
I wish it for christmas :lol:
I would sergently prefer to see it running on Amiga hardware!
Thoose who will run it on Mac, let them do it. Their choice :-D
But I don't think I'll ever buy a mac. Maybe if it's cheap enough  :-)

forgive me:

i wish i had good, modern, inexpensive hardware to run my nice new copy of aros on... oh wait... i can get that anywhere.

sorry ive always been against os4 for just this reason. i was proven wrong in that it was actually released. but as for whether it actually matters, so far; no.  

releasing even a fully featured mature and solid os for a tiny number of machines really does nothing for us. from what ive heard os4 is quite good, but if noone has anything to run it on why bother.

Oh yeah?!?
Well your stupid bit is set,
and its read only!

..and if Hyperion announced support for Mac hardware
today then it suddently would be all glory and perfect, dancing bananasĀ“and all that. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Torture is hearing that someone that can't use it has it and I'm still waiting for it...  But, I'm not upset.  I have waited this long, I will keep waiting.

@motorolling

& Hi all!

Just testing this site for a while;)

Thank You for supporting os4,

but Pleeeeeeease do not tell people if You buy salt without a beef available or something to grow a cattle.

Hope the best luck now to get the A4000 Beefed up then.
Left my 060+PIV right as it is because there is no reason to kill a good reliable mate with other stuff and got an XE.

There was a time to buy A1:s
and got an XE933 atm. (two working ones at best+ some cpu:)

I can still buy the box and the manual to put at the wall if the cd is empty as at 2004 there were not any "professional" printed;)  To get them 4-years late,mate.    
and

"Will someone please hurry up and port OS4 to PPC Mac, I have a...." Why not do it Yourselve, Mate? Or maybe I just want it for my new xxxx-device. LaughingInMyMind Sorry.

Honestly i hope you all waste your money buying second hand macs waiting for some pirate to port it ... It just show how much you care for the platform . Just wait too see what happens after. I find it hard to believe it will only be released for classic as acube does indeed have that sam thing too. But i guess you mac fan boys will be disappointed thinking about a mac port . If so wait too see if there will be a official statement or buy 10 copy's each so i can sit and laugh at all of you stuck with unusable software... As it turns out the classic version may be the worst to adapt to any other hardware at all as it uses custom chipset and all....  You guys use caveman logics around here "grab the first hope for the best" :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  Start being serious and show a little patients now we know they"hyperion" are able to deliver.
