20. March 2002: H&P is proud to announce the availability of Boing Bag 2

ReAction and harddisk support. The Boing Bag is delivered in three parts:
The main archive with all the files needed to update AmigaOS 3.9, the

OS3.9 Boingbag 2 available : Comment 43 of 125 | ANN.lu |

That would be unrealistic people... PPC is the only way to go IMHO. 68K is stone dead and x86 is a big NO NO NO, both because of the architecture, it sucks, and Microsoft buisness practices.
>The problem is you can't keep the Amiga alive by limiting the userbase to the >few who want to risc buying expensive custom PPC hardware.
Its not custom ppc hardware, its a standard PPC atx motherboard, with a standard PPC northbridge, a standard southbridge, standard agp and pci slots. There is no custom logic, just standard components. It will boot Linux and all the *BSD versions when they are ported.
Since it became possible to order the board I've seen quite alot of posts from people who either will buy the board or who, like myself, have already ordered it. This is the future of Amiga, not emulation on x86.
>The pro-x86 crew have suggested API compatibility across x86 and PPC. We have >*no* problem with PPC hardware/software, we only ask for aknowedgement of >Amiga-x86. But as Hyperion hates x86 so much, they prefer to split the >community.
Hyperion are just realistic. They know there is no competing with Microsoft in the x86 market. On PPC they have a chance to succeed. |
