Will we ever see the PPC version of the OS? I mean if it was so close to completion then surely there must be a version for the PPC which boots.
Admitedly it may have a lot of bugs but come on - showing a version of the OS that runs on the existing Amiga's only fuels my suspicion that all they have managed to do is compile the exisiting OS and add a lot of utilities that are out there!

ExecSG is fully PPC native, complete with 68k emulation. They will be migrating OS 4.0 modules (currently in 68k code) to PPC over the next few weeks. I think they're still working out minor bugs in ExecSG at the moment, as well as finishing other misc things, but OS 4.0 as a system "exists".

I take it that means on classic Amiga hardware (plus PPC card) with the old chipset and large chunks of 68k code: the CIA's for printing, keyboard and the serial port, Paula for sound, the blitter, Zorro autoconfig bus, even chip ram. Now I wonder how long does it take to go from there to a completely new hardware with PCI bus, PS/2 mouse and keyboard, ethernet, no blitter, no CIA, no Paula - you get the idea. Does it sound like a walk in the park? Not to me. Does it sound like it would be ready in 2003 ? Not to me. Am I too pessimistic?
