Right, stupid idea to have a 300MIPS system, wtih 192mb of RAM & Fast SCSI-II Controller.
And of course if I can't afford a new sys then too bad for me - because it's just stupidity for developers to even contemplate supporting the Blizz/Cyber Card anymore.
What a sad situation this is becoming.
Can someone send me the Source Code to AmigaOS 3.9 - I have just decided to port it entirely native to WarpOS PPC and it's gonna be optimised for 603/604 SO THERE !
I can just imagine myself spending the next century porting an OS to PPC because everyone else thought it was a joke to support a system that can't get enough WOW! ratings from outsiders.

Would be good of course.

I think it all really depends on the customers needs and so variety makes it so much better.

Personally I just want to get a PPC Amiga Os - not some licensed crap with a boingball slapped on it.
Your QNX Linux & MorphOS may all be very fun but they all have different directions - ones which as an amigan u don't want to follow because you're killing the cult.
