It's awesome work by Jason (and Toni)... As soon as I get some time I'll start optimizing some of my code for it. Hope we will start seeing a flurry of updates from various other people now that it's possible to test.

Great news! :)

I guess it will get faster as Toni is improving the HIDD. For now most of the things are drawn using PutPixel()... By reading the mailing list it seems a lot of progress is beeing made.

About the BCPL: what's wrong with 1.3/BCPL ? Anyone with enough knowledge could explain ? :)

It's a serious pain to get it working at the moment, but you MUST have your settings identical to an A1200!

A lot of the old 1.3 software used to old TripOS function call system, which is based on a programming language called BCPL. Jason needs to implement that in order for these 1.3 programs to run... BCPL was heavily depreciated in 2.0.

Actually the more I read about it, the more I like it... And let's be fair it did lead to C, so it was a very good thing (tm)

The spoken lyrics in the intro to Primal Scream's 'Free' say it perfectly! :)

It means free, as in "freedom" :)
Even though the road may still be long to have a full working kickstart/os replacement (it's only a proof of concept here, compatibility wasn't part of the phase 1 bounty), it's great indeed.

Seeing how fast it was since the bounty has been assigned, I'm wondering why it took so much time for someone to get assigned to the task... People weren't interested maybe ?

From reading the mailing list, it seems some people aren't interested at all about NG stuff, while some on the contrary are only interested in NG stuff.

Compatibility not required by bounty... But HUNK loading does work already and Jason has tested this with a few shell commands, so big thumbs up there!

I think getting the AROS source to build in gcc for the 68k was both boring and difficult... Jason (and Toni), stuck with it and made it happen!

Well, AROS on 68k is where NG meets classic... You really can have the best of both worlds now :)
