Maybe my message got lost somewhere. I meant to ask Olaf why he thinks it has been said MorphOS for another CPU will be totally different from what it is now?
because the developers like geit say that:
https://morph.zone/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=9204&forum=11#100844
No PPC integration, no 68k except UAE (like done in Aros), incompatible API (you could also say modernized). I did not find the posting about dropping old stuff like datatypes but I read that.
Ambient certainly will still be there but many other things are changed. Or plans have changed... who knows
"SMP, memory protection, 64Bit support, virtual memory will come with a price. Loosing the compatibly to all thirdparty PPC and all 68K applications, which aren´t in development anymore. It also will split the user/market once again. So a step like this should be made wise and preferable only once. And that is the point, where MorphOS swaps hardware. Such opportunity must also be used to drop insane and old crap the OS is filled with to keep it compatible with old Amiga and the old AmigaAPI simply is stupid in many ways."
