    And if Commodore had ported AmigaOS to the Hombre machines there would have been an (embedded) AmigaOS running on PA-RISC and a desktop class AmigaOS running on either PowerPC or Alpha


    Considering what the same source had to say about this previously, this is a fairly big IF, however.

    "The initial schedule of 18 months was for the Hombre game machine hardware. There's no real OS here, just a library of routines, including a 3D package, which would probably be licensed. The Amiga OS was not to have run on this system in any form. An AmigaOS port to RISC for "Amiga" RISC
    machines was something those of us in the high-end group were certainly in favor of, but it was not at the time under consideration by management."
