would you buy a Mac to run OS4 if it were possible ?
 

posted this over at LA too..curious to see the results with all the talk going on nowadays..btw, Im a definite yes:agree

I would run it in one of my existing macs, definitely.

I'm classic hardware all the way....68k or not at all.

Yep, same here. It just isn't an Amiga otherwise.

Steve.

So you'd spend that money to run a lonely, almost unsupported OS ...just to..say you can. Brilliant.

I'd rather shove wasps up my bum :D I would NEVER surrender to Steve Jobs, urgh makes me shudder thinking about it. :D

You can get an old G4 for NOTHING, Fred the Fok

Bored people do a lot of stupid things, but OS4 on a Mac? I would NEVER be bored enough to try this, even if you give me a lot money for it.

you must be joking right:shocked I'd love to dual boot OSX and OS4 and I can buy a Mac Mini locally for less than $250..why don't you try to buy a PPC accelerator card for the Amiga nowadays for that money or even better wait for new Amiga hardware:lol

So it would be as much fun as running mac OSX on a peecee? or windoze vista on a x86 mac...... I don't see the attraction.

I don't own a Mac and to be honest I don't find it all that appealing to run OS4 on one. Of all the OS's I've used, I like 1.3 and 3.1 the best, on 680x0 hardware. I voted no.

I'm as retro as you can get but thats not the question at hand here;)

Sure it is....if it doesn't run on a 68k amiga...then no i wouldn't buy a mac to run it.

You assume I'd even bother to care to run a useless OS.
I play the greatest games ever (Amiga) on WinUAE and E-UAE/Hi - Toro.
That's all. I just can't see bothering to put the two OS's on the same (PPC of course) computer.
But we all have different ideas I guess.

There is another way for us old skool 68k fans to run OS4 on our trusty steeds...

May I present the A-Max - yes, that's right a fully fledged and ageing Mac emulator card for Zorro equipped miggys...

Zetty is going to implant an entire imac onto the board and make it work - just like that...

IT WILL WORK AND RUN OS4!!!

If you want an Amiga get an Amiga. Not a Mac.

68k all the way.

A iBook G3 OS4 system would be the perfect on-the-go ahx/dpiv machine for me.

ya that sounds great BUT but can it run on my 1200 with 030@50 installed:confused

@ Fred the Fop

fair enough..after all many of us might and are using different OS's BUT we are all Amigans at heart here:great

I would agree that a the only way to run OS4 is on a "real" Amiga which is the reason why we loved the Amiga to begin with, but the reality is that we are never going to be able to run OS4 properly on a classic Amiga, so the only alternative would be to run it on hardware that is not Amiga based.

Although, like someone else said. I am not that bored to do it either... I run Windows XP & SUSE Linux right now and that is more than enough ( although its SUSE i use 95% if the time ). Running OS4 at its best on a proper MAC is never going to happen anyway, so not to knock the the original poster of the thread, i just don't see the point in starting it, when the time could be spent starting something that is applicable and can happen now.

No offense klx300r :)
