Here you can find a brief report [from the Amiga North Thames meeting]. Unfortunately the report gives only a few informations. [Here's another report from the NCSCAUG meeting.] I forwarded these news from amiganews.

First impressions of the Amiga OS 4.0b : Comment 48 of 86 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Nate Downes on 11-Feb-2004 14:14 GMT | In reply to Comment 29 (Kjetil): Actually they can quite easily.
Something I pointed out on the Phoenix list was that the AmigaOS's API allows for some unique things when it comes to OS development, you can replace the system one-module-at-a-time and nothing will break if you do it right. That means (pending a good 68k emulator) you can have whole segments of the system running in 68k and not have things break. MorphOS did just this, if you'd recall, using the ROM image from the A4k/A1200 motherboard it was running on for the 68k modules, replacing them one-at-a-time until the system was replaced with workalikes.
So, to steal an old Commodore ad-line: "Only Amiga makes it possible" |
