Fleecy writes: AmigaOS4 will only run on hardware that conforms to the zico
specification - currently that is the Eyetech AmigaOne (which also offers full backwards compatibility with AA chipset access applications) and the bPlan AmigaOne, which will run AmigaOS4 apps and older apps which use retargetable coding. We look forwards to other Amiga hardware companies developing zico based solutions and are actively talking to them.

| Explanations from Fleecy, part 2 : Comment 7 of 49 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Keith Blakemore-Noble on 31-Mar-2001 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 6 (Bertrand PRESLES):
Yes, I *would* like AInc to support existing long-time PPC-Amiga owners - just like WE supported them (even giving in to their blackmail demands "Buy OS3.9 or we won't let you have OS4.0").
Yes, I am aware that the G3 and G4 are far more powerful. However, are YOU not aware that the G4, G3 and 604, 603 are all binary compatible?
i.e. your claim that the 604 et al are not supported due to lack of time is completely wrong.
Similarly, your claim that new "Classic" G3 & G4 cards will be suported is also wrong - they will ONLY be supported by OS4 *IF* the hardware design conforms to the zico spec - guess what? Classic Amiga plus PPC is NOT the zico spec.
So, as AInc have effectivly told us "Ha ha, we got your money now fsck off", give me ONE very good reason why I should buy an AmigaOne as opposed to, say, a Mac with MacOS X, or even abPlan with MorpOS (or even keep my PPC Amiga and run MorphOS on that)? |
