If Amiga inc want OS4 on x86 then it will happen, David Haynie doesn't have to buy Amiga inc for that to happen.

Those of you that want OS4 on x86 should be talking to Amiga inc about it.

@Fransexy

wtf is the Pancakes option ?

What kind of poll is this with no pancakes option ?

To be honest, I am like a lot of other people in that I don't really care what it runs on, so long as I can buy it and the hardware it needs to work with without too much hassle.

Easily reparied/replaced hardware would be a nice bonus too, given things these days just don't seem to be made like they used to.

Then there may be the last option "i don´t care about the cpu as long as there is Pancakes !" ?

Or the option "Another Obsure Cpu called Pancakes" ?

Amiga Inc?

Amiga inc wanting something to happen, usually means it won't

Don't laugh, they could market it as "OS4 Anywhere". "It runs on a myriad of different platforms: PPC and uhm, x86".

I want Amiga on ALL CPU's

That's easy !! You can even have an A500 on x86 cpu...

This is what you have to do:
1.> Take an empty large desk (yes, to have space is nice)
2.> Open you PC, and take the cpu out.
3.> Put the cpu in the centre of the desk.
4.> Buy an A500 (or it may work with an A1200 which can easily be found on ebay).
5.> Place the newly acquired Amiga on top of the cpu.
6.> DONE, and enjoy. Now you have an Amiga on top of an x86 cpu !

... Next, you can have an Amiga running on top of Multiple (and even Different) cpus all at once ! Just place all the cpus on the desk first !...

So you think that OS4 for classic should not be released since there is MorphOS already?

Of course not.

That pretty much would be everywhere.

We don't have the PPC part and should hope for the x86 version?

It wont happen without Amiga Incs say so though as it is them that grant the lisence.

The license has conditions.

If Amiga Inc fail to release a new version of OS4 within 6 months of release... it's Hyperions and Hyperions alone. The license disappears.

Before this time, Amiga Inc has the option of buying OS4 from Hyperion, if they don't, it's Hyperions.

(there's also a bankruptcy clause, but the undead arn't really ever dead, even if they have no pulse and smell like rotting flesh walking around groaning "Braaaaaaaaiiins!", so that one can be ruled out)

Why not ask for Windows on AmigaOne or Mac Architecture

There’s very little interest in supporting Windows NT 4.0 PPC edition in a MOL like scenario.

Let's hope, but not stop staring at...

While I would purchase the OS for PC if it comes to that, I think it loses something, unless it's a part of a proprietry packaged system, like even x86 Macs are.

I very much agree with you in here...

The Amiga needs to keep it's identity as a hardware system, not just software.

and here...

Quote:

Otherwise it isn't an Amiga, it's just an OS, and yes while that's all we've got right now, one can only hope that the hardware will improve when there's enough money from this first generation of sucky PPC hardware. These first PPC systems keep us in the game until we can make a leap.

although... Dave Hayne *himself* said that Amiga *was* the OS...



Quote:

Personally, I'd like to see a pumped up system with multiple cell chips. I like that the cell chip would make the next gen Amiga system different to everything else out there. Unless Apple strikes first and hedges it's x86 bets.

wouldn't we all... I hope that somehow all this years of knowledge can be put to a good use...

That's maybe the reason why we are still here, isn't it? Why would AmigaOS on a PC (I don't say a customized x86, e.g. I-Mac) make a different ?

But what do you have to say about an customized I-Mac like x86 Amiga?
