`12.Jan.2007`	AmigaOS 4: Status update for Classic version According to Hans-Jörg Frieden from Hyperion in a thread on amigaworld.net the OS4-Team will, after finishing the AmigaOne version, concentrate on porting the operating system to classic Amigas with PPC extension. The main problem with the Classic version is the support of the drivers: Currently there are native drivers for BVision-/CVision-graphic cards, the SCSI-Host of the CyberstormPPC as well as for the PCI-Busboard of Prometheus. If and in which way the Mediator-busboards will be supported with native code is still not clear. But the existing PCI solution which is porvided by Elbox with its hardware should also work with AmigaOS 4. There is still not a working driver for the SCSI-Host of the BlizzardPPC. The question is how existing (68k-) drivers come along with the new memory management - according to Frieden some authors have not accurately followed the guidelines. Especially the DMA-drivers could become a problem. At the same time when the Classic version of AmigaOS 4 will be finished a list with compatible hardware will be published. During the quarter of 2007 AmigaOS 4 for classic Amigas may be published. But the author points out that this is not an precise date. (cg) (Translation: dr) [News message: 12.
