os 4.0
« on: January 22, 2008, 05:47:02 PM »
Just received my copy of Amiga 4.0.  Starting reading the directions for installation and alas, the directions talk about PPC boards which I do not have.  I run my amiga on a 4000 tower with only extra memory added to the system.  Does this mean I can not run OS 4.0? :-?

OS 4 Classic requires a Cyberstorm PPC for the A3000/A4000, Blizzard PPC for the A1200.  It won't work on a 68000 series processor.

O.K, What is needed now, is for someone to write a PPC emulator for the 680X0 processor, it may not be fast, but it could be usable.

It started out as a joke, but then I thought, why not?

A CISC processor does more work per instruction than a RISC processor so a JIT emulator could interpret several PPC instructions as one or two 68k instructions.
Also the PPC runs at only 200/400mhz which is not necessarily that much faster than a 68060 running at 66-100mhz.
If OS4 takes off, then the classic fans must either buy a PPC or emulate one.

It would be no good for games, but other future programs which do not depend on speed could be used, maybe?.
