Not good enough. Anything Amiga related has to be at least 99% or a "community split" happens if tried. Last edited by T_Bone on 16-Jan-2006 at 07:08 PM.

Because there isn't going to be AmigaOS 4 for x86 anytime soon, so they'd better be satisfied with AROS. (unless they want to buy AmigaOne® hardware, when it's available, if ever, or second hand).

Which brings us back to the reason we suggested x86 in the first place, we don't know how soon we'll have PPC hardware, either.
We might have a Troika board in 6 months, and AROS might be done then too. _________________ "If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you." - Oscar Wilde |

There is no such thing as LiveCD for the A1, except the one labeled AmigaOS 4 which came with mine. It's kinda LiveCD because it boots you to usable AmigaOS 4 desktop, but you'd better install it on HD for maximum performance.

I agree to this

I like that the cell chip would make the next gen Amiga system different to everything else out there. |
I voted for PPC, however I don't really care, what CPU it would run on - unless it's not a PC platform. I have a PC. If I wanted, I could run whatever I want on it. There are alternatives available (Zeta, Linux, SkyOS, AROS what else), but the thing is, I don't want to. It's simply not the same.
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 ?
I'd like to have something real fancy and cool which is not a PC. I guess, the main market would be a second computer anyway. Who can deny a PC nowadays ? Well, eventually, if all the apps would run on a future Amiga, I might not need a PC any more. But who cares, that's so cheap, I would just keep it as a backup...
Nah, but I'd like to have something else, yes. That's why.

If you've got the OS4-PR, you can make your own modified OS4 live-cd. That was perhaps the one you saw? There is instructions how to make one somewhere, don't remember where, (some .de site? )
Also there is the PegXLin _________________ Site admins are people too..pooff! |

If those of you that want OS4 ported to x86 processors are serious then negociate with Amiga inc and stump up the money to pay Hyperion to do it. There is no point in carrying on this debate otherwise.

OS4 is not going to be ported to x86 hardware or Apple PPC hardware. So in a way all these discussions are pointless.

Strangely enough, Fransexy, you've identified the reason that I want both PPC and x86 - because I want a choice. Lets face it, if I absoulutely have to have PPC to run Amiga OS4, I have no choice of architecture at all. I must, with no option, buy the most expensive motherboard I can lay my hands on.
Given a choice, I'd run it on the same system I use to run Windoze.
I just wouldn't run Winmdoze on it anymore (except when I can't avoid it - the perils of the IT industry ...)
As things stand, I'll have to fork out a fortune for a motherboard with less than half the clock speed and resources of my existing one, and build an entire computer around it at great expense.
I'll do this, because I'll do whatever I have to to run Amiga OS. But most people won't. |

I voted'don't care'.
I want to see some PPC hardware soon!
However if this doesn't pan out I think x86 is the way to go. |

I agree. We should rather hope that both Amy '06 and Powervixxen are being released this year. The release of OS4 for x86 should be targeted for January 2007 then. Last edited by polka. on 17-Jan-2006 at 10:53 AM.

It's not a debate, this isn't a democracy. it's just people fleshing out possibilities. It'll probably never happen unless Dave Haynie gets tired of remote controll cars, bails out Amiga Inc, buys AmigaOS from hyperion, and released it himself.
I think that's less likely than him shaving his moustache. _________________ "If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you." - Oscar Wilde |
