TeamAROS bounty program updated : Comment 75 of 79 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Olegil on 27-Jan-2004 11:27 GMT | In reply to Comment 68 (Seehund): Uhm, how do you support only a subset of PC motherboards?
Remember that a PC motherboard is only in production for about 3 months.
This means either fund a longer lifespan on one bog-standard motherboard, OR make a custom one, OR continous work on supporting new motherboards as long as OS4 is in development and active life.
What's the big difference between making a custom x86 and making a custom ppc? Wouldn't you still be as active in your crusade if the AmigaOne had a P4 instead of a G4/G3? How much money do you need to have to extend the lifespan of a motherboard from for instance Intel? How much time does it take to choose a new motherboard and write support for it every 3 months? 1 month? 2 months? 3 (at which point you're better off dropping the whole idea, because your software will NEVER work on ANY AVAILABLE hardware). |
