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.

AmigaOS 4.0 PPC will come !!! : Comment 2 of 29 | ANN.lu |
Posted by fleecy moss on 31-Mar-2001 22:00 GMT | I should point out that H&P and Hyperion are just two of the contractors being used, and that we are using quite a few others. I should also point out that a lot of the work is being done internally, by Amiga itself. This is represents Amiga taking back ownership and control of the AmigaOS as we develop it forwards to be a key part of our future technology solution.
Haage and Partner have done a good job of looking after it for us over the years, but as we move forwards, it will be brought back in house, allowing us to fully take on our responsibility as owner. |
