In reply to Comment 13 (ToP):
> Amithlon developpers like Bernie and other independant need OFFICIAL support from Amiga Inc. it is good for Amiga community.

Yes, sadly Amithlon runs just about everything AOS4 can run, probably faster, and native Amithlon x86 vs Native OS4, Amithlon would blow the doors off OS4.

Not only that, but since the kernel is opensource, nobody would have to worry about unsupported motherboards ever again. AOS would live on top of the Amithlon kernel forever.

It's a crying shame Amiga wasn't in the financial position to step up to the legal plate against H&P.
