i agree PulsatingQuasar, Amiga OS 4.0 on Mac Mini PPC would be awesome. Too many broken promises and missed chances under current leadership, that's why DiscreetFX wants a shot! |
I would so buy a Mac Mini PPC for that. |

| ... or one of those 800MHz G4 Macs that are said to be left behind by Apple's latest OS upgrade. I bet we'll be seeing quite a few of them in eBay if the rumors are true. |

| @DiscreetFX... if you're still reading this thread
A thought struck me this evening..... Freescale (makers of coldfire and 68K) can do custom versions of their CPU's. It could be possible to have a 68K or a much faster coldfire tooled to interface with a minimig. This imaginary device could make an awesome little platform classic Aos clones, Aros and maybe even Mos. I have no idea what freescale charges for such services, and what ever it may be might more than you're willing to invest. But I thought it was worth throwing out there for thought.

If I had an A1 I will try for sure, I not have the coding skills but that $10000 are so tempting :)

It might be of some help reading the bounty conditions before applying, Amizilla isn't solely for AmigaOS 4... |
Pixie's right- there has to be a native version for OS3.x, MorphOS and AROS, to get the bounty- finding devs to do a OS3 version is the problem (which would allow a relatively easy porting to MOS and AROS).
@ fairlanefastback
As Bill says- he's not managing the AmiZilla project- I am. DiscreetFX set up the Bounty and contributed most of the money to it, and then it was up to a dev team to complete it and claim the bounty!

I'm with you on this one. IBook, or MacBook. Preferably supporting a model with a G4 in it.
@ants So, how is the Amizilla project progressing?

We could try and contact them to find out. I would like to know what is going on with Clone-A though before I would venture down such a path. One thing that we are doing soon to help the community is donating $1000 towards UAE integration for AROS. Last edited by DiscreetFX on 27-Sep-2007 at 10:35 PM.

Well we had a guy getting into the guts of getting the NSPR compiling, but he ran into some tricky problems, and haven't heard anything from him a long time. I haven't had any time free to have a go either (although it may be beyond my experience anyway...), so project is on hold for moment. We need to have a least one programmer experienced with OS3.x, to carry on. I may have some time free in a month or so, to put some time into it.
Andrea Palmatè (Afxgroup) is working on an OS4 version, I have attempted to contact him, but no reply, so I assume an OS3 version isn't wanted, as it's a threat (easy port to AROS and MOS)...

Sounds like a good plan. I've recently signed up to the AROS dev list and dragged out my ancient 68K reference manuals. I'm gong to see if I can help with kickstart which is probably the first step to UAE.

I work in the chip biz as a chip designer. That's certainly "possible". But it would also be impractically "expensive". Better they spend their $millions elsewhere. _________________ All glory to the Hypnotoad!

No doubt, but with a bit of luck maybe some one over there has a soft spot for Amiga.

After giving things a bit more thought today, I'm having a change of opinion...... too many hardware projects have either meet with vapor, or disappeard with their technical data and expertise. A1's gone, Cyberstorms gone, Trokia never made it, Ack PPC.....
Some thing like minimig makes more and more sence to me. No single manufacture, no loosing the product when one proprietor decides to close shop, it's open to developers to make different versions and features.....yup, I'm off too read the AROS dev list.
