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.
