Amiga Clone: Development of PowerOS picked up again
PowerOS, a project introduced by Claus Herrmann to the public in 2001, should originally have been a PowerPC-native reproduction of AmigaOS (Screenshot), which was to run on Amiga computers with PowerPC processors (BlizzardPPC, CyberstormPPC as well as the AmiJoe which never materialized).
However, already at the start of 2002, the original, commercial orientation was discarded for lack of time, and the sources of the project were released.
On the recently revised homepage, from which all old information was removed, details that the development has been picked up again can be found in the new FAQ now: Reportedly, PowerOS is running only under VMWare at present, since this presents the most comfortable development environment. However, versions that run without a host operating system on a standard PC are also planned later on. (cg) (Translation: cad)
