Late in November 2007 AmigaOS4 for ”classic” Amiga hardware was released. Before that rumors about a port for the old PPC MacMini floated around news sites on the net. Many wondered if they where true, seems like they actually where true!
A couple of days ago some guy leaked an ISO claiming it was an early Christmas gift for the Amiga community containing the key to running OS4 “classic” on the Mac Mini on “English Amiga board”.The ISO file was taken down from EAB fearing legal problems. The poster was eventually banned from the board since no one got the ISO to function correctly which made everyone believe it was just one big hoax
However breaking news shows that with the ISO it is possible to boot into the well known boot screen of the Amiga!
It is not yet known if it is going to be possible to run OS4 on certain models of Mac Mini but people are working on this right now so stay tuned!
- »Check out the video on YouTube where a Mac Mini is booting OS4
- »Topic on Amiga.org about running AmigaOS4 on PPC Macs
- »New thread on EAB about OS4 on Mac mini
Will this lead to AmigaOS4 on Titanium PPC Apple notebooks?
Stay tuned for more news….
