Hyperion: "Halloween special double-treat for the Classic AmigaOS"

[Heiroglyph]

I'm all about supporting 68k development, so I'm buying them.

I would like more details on what is in here though. IDE and SCSI changes especially. FFS version would be nice to know too.

Did the layers.library update make it in?

[Heiroglyph]

This is in a text file included with the ROMs. This is from the a500/600, etc version.

you do have changelog right there. not much to read. think twice whom actually to reward for a honest support all these years.

At this point, I really don't care.

If they want to sell 68k software, I'll give anyone a second chance.

Maybe they will do something with it, if not, I'm no worse off than I was yesterday.

Edit: That said, that's a really weak list of version numbers.

[Heiroglyph]

Agreed. Voting with my $$$ on 68k.

I wonder why they sat on this since February and why now?

[Heiroglyph]

The big advantage for a 3000 user will be the scsi device update (assuming it is on the rom).  

Getting a new drive working in a 3000 with the stock controller is a challenge.

I can see this saving time and energy, you can start a new install of 3.9 without using another system to configure the drive ahead of time.

That would be my thought.

I don't see any indication that this is the case, although I could be wrong.

It seems to be 99% copyright notice and availability.

I'm still holding out hope that this is just getting the process started and not just fulfilling some legal requirement to hold onto the license or something of that nature.

[Heiroglyph]

Since assembly based modules are not really going to get smaller, what about shrinking more of the C based modules by using the new compiler?

The new layers.library for example was a backport from OS4 changes if I'm not mistaken, so would probably be C.

I would assume that there would be a few like that.
