[News] AmigaOS 4.0 PPC will come !!! ANN.lu Posted on 01-Apr-2001 06:43 GMT by Christophe Decanini 29 comments View flat View list From the shoucast audio stream (right now) AmigaDE won't have MP soon. AmigaOS 4.0 will and AmigaDE will use it. 68K will run on emulation. TCPIP PPC native, video drivers Natice: All the system PPC native. It will be developed by haage & partner and Hyperion. Amigaone will be opendesign (drivers). The timeline is by summer time. You need Amigaone for AmigaOS 4.0. USB and firewire will be in AmigaOS 4.2. No Java in AmigaOS 4.0. AmigaOne will ship this summer. First versions won't surpport multiprocessor. AmigaDE Targeted late summer. This is what I understood. There can be some misunderstandings. The are a lot of questions left. The MP subject is not clear, there will be a gradual transition (4, 4.2 ... 5.0). More info will be available on the Amiga website soon. So 1rst AmigaOS 3.9 will benefits from the AmigaOne hardware, then AmigaOS 4.0 will run stand alone on the AmigaOne and then Amiga De will run on top of it.

Surely x86 is widely spread and has a big potential of future Amiga customers to offer, but that is not the only way one could go. I don't like being a lemming and as long as the price/performance ratio fits my needs (and in the best case is better than another combination) i do not care one single bit about the differences in clock speed! My 68060 Amiga runs with 50 (!) MHz and still in many ways feels (even IS) faster than a "modern" PC with more than 10 times the CPU speed... Jump...
