Amiga & AROS Genesi has 'announced' it is going to release AmigaOS4 for their EFIKA motherboard as soon as the next release of MorphOS is released. "We have clearly indicated in this thread, we don't need Hyperion's support to port OS4 to the EFIKA - legally or technically." True to the Amiga scene of the last few years, a discussion spanning 300 posts ensued. My take: I actually advocated 'porting' AmigaOS4 to Genesi hardware last year, but I do hope it all happens within the boundaries of the law and that the developers get what they deserve. Update: The latest post asks an interesting question.

I've just read that forum starting at post linked by Thom... i don't know who is on which side there, because it looks like everyone hates everyone there.
It's like they keep fighting over non-existing thing (from my point of view OwnTropicalIsland is much more possible thing to get than OS4 computer ;) .
I heard few bad things about Genesi, and about other Amiga involved companies, but porting OS4 to (far more popular than AmigaOne) other hardware should only help spread their beloved OS, right?

-- edit --
One more thing. After reading that forum i think that AROS, which is progressing very slow, has much more chance than Amiga OS4 (or 5 or whatever imaginary OS they will try to hype).
