Why not ship the Amiga OS with its own BIOS chip--or Kickstart boot ROM. Can't one be created to replace a regular PC BIOS chip, and let users change them out? We did that with the Amiga machines, when upgrading. OR, can't Amiga work with the makers of these BIOS chips for an alternate version? (then again, why can't the Amiga OS just work with the existing chips?)
>But it is not hard to make an OS that can run on any x86 board... hint:- have >a quick play with AROS...
I want to see Amiga OS on Abit motherboards. Check out the specs on the ABIT KV8-MAX 3. :) Of course, it would require that the Amiga OS is 64-Bit (something else I want to see).
It would make a whole lot more sense; and I'm sure venture capitalists would be much relieved that the pathway is wider than the dirt road they're currently on. I've been saying this for years now.
Amiga..AMD...Abit...64-bit...SATA...an Amiga company completely uncaring as to what the Amiga OS runs on (so long as they're selling OS boxes)--giving warranty only to those on a list of tested motherboards... This is the direction it needs to go.
I'm biased *for* Abit motherboards; but I'd like to see it run on others, as well. MSI, Asus, EyeTech/AmigaOne... on and on. :)
