Steve – An Amiga running NT as well as current software is theoretically possible, but may not be worth the trouble. NT is processor-independent, as it sits on top of a HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer), and other operating systems (MSDOS, OS/2, Posix, etc.) run as tasks under NT. So if someone were to write the AmigaDOS/Intuition client and HAL properly it could work. As I said, though, it may not be worth the trouble to do it, given the comparatively small size of the Amiga market and the percentage of Amiga owners who'd be likely to want such a beast.
