Ya divies!
The term "PORTING" does not just apply to copying the files over, and expecting them to run!
Of course, if someone was to port the software over, the code would be adjusted for the INTEL, and before you say it YES, it can be done, and it can be done with a hell of a lot less ahssles than people would seem to believe!
Of course, you would have certain issues such as the hardware, but again, this is not entirely true! - a basic PC is the same, whether its a bog standard 386 or a high end Athlon ( Dont give a shit about intel ) all graphics cards have the simple controls for basic VGA ( 64x480x16 ) and only heed their specific drivers for their special routines, and its almost the same for SoundCards too, as most have compatibility for SoundBlasters, and these basic routines are tiny, and can be done with a very simple program that goes into the auto folder.
What we need, is not a load of chit-chat about a load of rubbish, we need someone who is actually willing to see what actually can be done to get TOS to run on a PC, without needing any other O/S ( Windows/Linux )
