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 9 of 29 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by fleecy moss on 31-Mar-2001 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 4 (Anonymous):
AmigaDE will become an integral part of the AmigaOS, far more than just
a plug in module.
I should also point out that the initial report here says Memory Protection will be in OS4 - it will not, it will be in OS5 - anyone who has followed the debates over MP will know that it isn't just something that can be added willy nilly. The report is probably meant to mean VM (Virtual Memory) which will be in
OS4. VM is essential as we move forwards, and with the new AmigaOne hardware, we can finally make proper use of it. VM will be available for new applications that are aware of it. |
