Hey, MMU-Man... mind explaining what that whole 68K stuff in Haiku is all about? How do you ever figure ANYONE will get Haiku to run on an Atari 1040ST or 68K Mac or Amiga? Who is going to write a driver for the video chips of the Mac, Atari or Amiga?
It seems, to me, to be one of the biggest wastes of time I've ever seen, assuming it is just code that will never see actual implementation and is just taking up source code space.
Sure, there's "learning by doing", but why not keep it on your own system, not take up valuable space on the Haiku source tree.
My belief is that, if it doesn't DIRECTLY benefit Haiku as an OS, then it shouldn't be in the source tree at all.
Then again, maybe I'm missing something...
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming of... "AmigaOS 4 on Classic 68K Amigas that MUST have a PPC processor board to actually USE AmigaOS 4!"
Speaking of which, who still makes ANYTHING for the Amiga these days? Anyone still making upgrade boards and such for Classic Amigas or is it just a "get what you can find, wherever you can find it" type situation?
