Jürgen Haage (E-Mail) H&P answers questions about AmigaOS XL FAQ
As reported H&P made a German online FAQ about the emulator AmigaOS XL available. After reading the FAQ I asked Jürgen Haage some questions concerning the point 30. Following you will find the answers.

FAQ:
30. What about AmigaOS 4.0?
The development is managed by Amiga Inc.

Question to H&P:
AmigaOS 4.0 should be exhibited with the AmigaOne in November this year. Does the follwing sentence mean that H&P is not currently working on AmigaOS 4.0 for AmigaOne?

Jürgen Haage:
As you may know the discussion started early this year. The first prototypes were planned for March. We planned the development of our part of AmigaOS4 according to this date. The first presentation was expected for the St. Louis Show in April...
But up until know we still have no hardware to develop for.

FAQ:
It is mainly a porting of AmigaOS 3.9 to PPC. Only some few new components are planned for this release. They are also available for 68k and could be easyly used with Amithlon/AmigaXL. But this is a decision of Amiga Inc.

Question to H&P:
This means that it is only some political decision made by Amiga Inc. if OS4 will be available for Classic-Amigas?

Jürgen Haage:
There are some important assumptions to be able to make a political decision. I do not think that these assumptions are available at the moment.
