It's the cheapest in terms of most bang for buck. As soon as the CGX4/5
Voodoo drivers are out, the fastest RTG solution will in fact have the
best thing going. And no silly driver fights between DCE and VFD :P

Nope. From the Amiga side you don't SEE the MorphOS kernel - it just grows
some slightly different ways of calling libraries (using stubs rather than
pragmas etc.) from the compiler side, and the ability to use Quark native
drivers (for instance, the standard SCSI devices on the Amiga like the CSPPC
SCSI and Blizzard SCSI controllers are running on a nice memory protected
driver on the microkernel side: the AmigaOS driver just talks to that)
