Hyperion finished AmigaOne firmware : Comment 108 of 212ANN.lu
Posted by Jon on 30-Sep-2002 08:14 GMT
In reply to Comment 107 (doesn't matter):
Yes, in the time it was. It has of course evolved since then. 3.x (where x might be 5 or 9) has taken steps forward and AmigaOS 4 is designed to be as portable as possible. The direction is towards AmigaOS 5, if it's ever going to happen.
