Isn't possible to make only Amiga OS (3.5)with help of the WOS and 68k
emulator to run on the on the new IBM board (PUP)? With some changes or new
under layer for the Amiga emulator.
Or is it impossible to make such. In a personal conversation with Jurgen I
thought he was mentioning something like this.
Before a complete PowerPC Amiga OS first to make that WarpOS would run with
current application 68k and Amiga ppc application. (these are my own words)
When this should be possible we could first have our PUP machine with WOS
Amiga OS and later everything PPC?
Bye,
