osopinion: Close That Open Hardware! : Comment 64 of 169 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Marcus Sundman on 12-Jun-2002 13:34 GMT | In reply to Comment 62 ([JC]): > Hyperion should write AmigaOS so the board level stuff such as controlling
> the northbridge/southbridge are done by drivers that can be easily changed
> at boot time. They can put out drivers for AmigaONE, and then release a DDK
> (driver development kit) telling others how to write for thier boards.
Amen.
(However, releasing a retail version of OS4 is not really necessary until there actually exists POP boards that can't be bought WITH OS4.)
> If they're concerned about quality control, they can set up some kind of
> system whereby a board/drivers get certified. Only certified boards can
> advertise themselves as being Amiga Compatible, but uncertified boards
> are allowed to run AmigaOS, just without warranty/support should it be
> unreliable.
Amen. |
