I'm sure it will take more RAM, but with care there is no reason it can't have similar speed.


Once it stabilizes, one can mix and mingle, and optimize further - no reason really that it must take more RAM, really :)

Great to see this finally going somewhere.

I dont see aros running under 030 and aga.


It already does in parts, you do know that there is AROS code in OS3.9, right?

Finally took the time to find out what on earth AROS was all about, basically to me it's just like MorphOS, WarpOS or OS4.x.


Maybe you should take the time to find out what WarpOS is also then :lol:

The point of AROS is to have an open source, portable AmigaOS clone that is "source compatible" with OS3.1. AROS running on m68k Amiga systems is supposed to be binary compatible with OS3.1. However, most of the effort till now has been on x86, since that's the most obvious system to work on, allthough thanks to people like MSchulz there's also AROS for PowerPC systems (SAMs), x86_64/AMD64 and ARM. There is also AROS for m68k since long (AfA), bits and pieces even found the way into OS3.9 (the oh so famous colourwheel, maybe more?), but the goal is to totally replace OS3.x on real m68k Amiga systems, just like the various MiNT incarnations replaced TOS on Atari.

On a side note, it would be interesting to know how far apart AROS on PowerPC is from MorphOS and OS4 in terms of binary compatibility.

It would be nice if one of those DIY programmable kickstart replacement boards could be turned into products one could buy :)
