New Amiga Hardware Runs Mac OS

Ethan writes: "A developer on the Yahoo Amiga One mailing list has successfully installed MacOS 9.2 using Mac On Linux. And it seems that adding OS X support is on the to-do horizon for the MOL developers. I think that it will be interesting to see the people at Apple lose some sleep now that a low cost, fast, off the shelf solution exists to run Mac OS, without any Apple hardware. If it doesn't do anything else, at least it will give the people buying the new Amiga One G3 PPC board an existing software base." Mind you, I've never even seen an Amiga One, but it would be a pretty silly thing to make up ;) Update: 07/05 07:03 GMT by T : Mike Bouma piped up with a link to a page featuring the same hardware, in this case running Debian, OpenOffice.org and Mozilla.

SEND IN THE TROLLS
sung to the tune of Send In The Clowns
Isn't it brown?
Gigantic and round?
You know it's distended when it
no longer makes a sound.
Where are the trolls?

They tick you off
(you stupid asshole.)
Tilting your monitor with PWP
is their goal.
Where are the trolls?
There ought to be trolls.

Just when I stopped
giving a shit
they send news of hot grits
and petrified chicks exquisite.
We all should remember
Junis the Afghan
or my favorite
OOG THE CAVEMAN.

Where'd the time go?
Troll Tuesday's near;
a guaranteed free-for-all.
I like cold beer.
And where are the trolls?
Quick, send in the trolls.
Don't bother, they're here.

?
!
More laughs than you can possibly
fit in your palm.
And where are the trolls?
There ought to be trolls.
Just ask your mom.

Plz die. Thx.

The Amiga is coming back.

I've predicted this for a long time. The first generation of Amiga platforms were revolutionary, and blew away offerings from other personal computer manufacturers. In fact, it was only recently, with AGP systems, that modern PCs could even match the first Amiga (the A1000) in terms of graphics sync/performance.

The new generation of Amigas will be running on PPC-compatible hardware. (Even older Amgias can get extension boards with PPC chips on them, though), and will truly rock. It's been a while since we've seen a truly good mixture of hardware and software, working together well to build the ultimate platform. That was... hmm - the late 80s and early 90s. The Amiga. The x86 hardware has (and still does) prohibit the PC from reaching this level, and MacOS (up until MacOS X) has been a complete toy operating system.

Just when PCs and Macs are starting to catch up with the original Amiga, the new Amiga is getting ready to be unleashed.

Very timely, actually. Things could get interesting in the next few years.

And to see a current counter...
