Report from USA Demo of Pegasos, MorphOS : Comment 69 of 116 | ANN.lu |
Posted by alan buxey on 16-Oct-2002 09:49 GMT | In reply to Comment 35 (It's Me Again!): ...theres a big difference between using an API and 68k emulation.
AmigaOS4.x will go the way of PowerPC..with 68k emulation being needed
less and less.... BUT it will use the AmigaOS API.
now, MorphOS is also PPC - with 68k emulation....but what we see right
now is just it using the AmigaOS API emulation/wrapper so that
it can run AmigaOS programs.
MorphOS will have to start showing its own API with advanced features. if
all it is ever going to be is a fancy wrapper over AmigaOS 3.x API then
it will not only never take off, but it will also not be in the market
for future Amiga people. It will also then show itself to be a shameless
API wrapper with no real need or purpose.
so, lets start seeing programs using MorphOS's own API ..then we can
judge the real strength of the OS (and realise that its handy to have
the AmigaOS API wrapper so we can run legacy programs)
