Eh, that wasn't TOO bad.
Nice details, like explain the extra memory shown being used by 'NoviaOS', and the new video drivers supporting the Radeon RX series.

I should be doing a quick demo during the Sunday demo slots of MorphOS 3.10 on the x5000. Stay tuned. If got it setup and stable now after getting a new video card.

Sounds like they're planning on you doing it tonight (Saturday), Paul.
Good luck.

If they have time tonight I can do it, but for sure tomorrow if not. I was having video card issues and got a new one this afternoon.

Another R5 230? You have really been adjusting on the fly.

Hey, Jamie's presentation is getting close to its conclusion, make sure they can find you, Bill seems to be having trouble locating you.

"Dickinson points out that a X5000 running MorphOS 3.10 is present at the show."

Yeah, Trevor DID do that, didn't he? :rtfm:

Actually, Aeon has been fairly supportive of that OS, considering their heavy involvement in OS4, Trevor has always been good about that.

Then again, OS4, MorphOS, Linux...whatever a user wants to run that might sell a system...

And the Linux distros that have been promulgated are actually pretty cool too.

Would have been nice to see a presentation based on those.

Not much news on Amigawest it seems. I mean this show stirs up a lot of noise in front of  - but over the last years the substancial news/information from the shows were pretty low during the last years.

[BozzerBigD]

Any news on the Prisma Megamix and Rapid Road boards working together in a marvelous display of Amiga companies working together? I was right it seems with the Tabor being at least a year away considering the audio & ethernet driver / FPU situation!

Not much news on Amigawest...

I'm picking up my 15-inch A.L.I.C.E. today at the show.

So the video switch didn't seem to like my hardware, didn't want to deal with any longer and just did a fast demo showing it's not vaporware and Morphos does run great in the x5000. The one on one demos on my table went great at least.

No big deal. Everyone that didn't go will just have to wait until the release (or attend Amiga 32, IF there is a demo there).
