Yes, it's great how lots & lots of OSes work on x86 when compared to PPC where you require specific hardware to run certain OSes.
It'll never happen, but I believe a better move for AmigaOS is to be released to one or more of the following:
I) x86 II) x86 Intel Macs III) PPC Macs
Because the hardware platforms above are easier to get a hold of & there are more computer users out there. Makes more sense to me then trying to support outdated Amiga hardware with small userbase.
Or an alternative idea is to have a company design & manufacture newer PPC hardware that will be supported by both AmigaOS & MorphOS. Company would probably have to be Genesi since they develop MorphOS.
