In yet another set of legal documents in the Amiga-Hyperion court case, it is revealed that AmigaOS 4 was ported to run on the Mac Mini (the PowerPC version, obviously), or, at least, that the port was in a very advanced state. The information was found in an email exchange between Bill McEwen of Amiga and Nicola Morocutti of VirtualWorks, about the latter obtaining a license to sell AmigaOS 4 together with the Sam 440ep board as well as, apparently, to sell boxed copies of AmigaOS 4 for the Mac Mini.

If you read the documents, you find that Hyperion was obstructing Amiga's attempt to get the product out the door. -- or at least, that's how Bill McEwen presents the matter, and Amiga presents a substantial number of documents to support this assertion. Apparently Amiga paid more money on several occasions than the contract stipulated to satisfy Hyperion's demands, even offering to doube one demand for $1 million, yet Hyperion repeatedly failed to deliver any goods at all.
It will be interesting to read Hyperion's side of the story.
(Edit: changed implicatin of $2 million paid to offer of $2 million.)
