On an ANN thread Bill and Raquel comment on their attitude towareds AmigaOS4 and it's appearance on the pegasos.
"If AmigaOS4.0 is fully finished and running natively on a
PPC we will be happy for Hyperion and Amiga Inc. Undoubtedly, in this community
there will be more than one person who will copy a legally obtained copy
of the operating system onto the Pegasos. How will Amiga Inc. stop this?
We cannot control this and neither can they. If AmigaOS4.0 becomes what
it is claimed to be – great! We will sell a few more Pegasos machines.
Thanks Hyperion! We wish them our best. We have absolutely nothing against
this effort."
Personally I think that no hardware developers who don't licence the amiga
name will pay money for certification to get os4 running on their boards.
However because the pegasos and the amiga one share the same northbridge
and BIOS (atm), it should not be difficult for a developer to port os4 across
to the pegasos. The question is; Will Hyperion and Amiga Inc allow this without
wanting money from Bplan/Thendic France? And does it matter?

Thendic France comment on OS4.0 : Comment 18 of 165 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Timothy De Groote on 18-Aug-2002 08:18 GMT | In reply to Comment 17 (Chis Roccati): hacked version of OS9 ?
It's simple MOL running on LinuxPPC on a POP motherboard running MacOS9.
In theory this is illegal, but i doubt Apple will crack down on ONE person who has a PowerMAC and is curious how it performs.
Anyways, the discussion is lame.
As you know Ben visited Bill Buck in Paris a year ago or so and Bill expressed interest in OS4, so did the Coyote Flux guys who then requested a Beta of Quake2 and which was provided and later on used to promote MOS as a gamesOS on an A4000/PPC System.
Bplan does NOT want OS4 because that would conflict with Ralph Shmidts EGO, it is THAT SIMPLE. Btw, at the show in NEUSS Hyperion had a meeting with Gerald Carda and Titan and other developers, because Hyperion WANTED new hardware.
I don't care what the MOS people say, they KNOW they are wrong but just want to continue with flaming OS4 and it's supporters. Well i don't NEED you guys. |
