Pros and Cons of Amithlon type systems

[trekiej]

I do not think it is as necessary as it was before.
I do not know if I would use it or not.
I am writing this from Icaros Desktop 1.3.
I would be currios to see how it performed, etc.

[trekiej]

Could anyone provide a block diagram of what they think an Amithlon system might look like?
I still have some interest in it. Even if it is for nastalga.

[trekiej]

Is there enough parts to rebuild it?

[trekiej]

Have you decided to do this?
Modern wise, would it use the latest drivers?
The performance looks good.
Would it be called a proper OS or maybe a hybrid?

I skipped over Amithons heyday and got into it later, but I'm very interested in it.

Would you still use something similar?

What would a modern version need to change?

Outside of handcrafting an Amithlon system, I believe Xamiga was next best.
It did not need X but used FrameBuffer. It was said it could boot in about 15 seconds.

How could one weigh the differences between Amithlon and Xamiga?
1. Software:Amithlon needs a special version of Amiga OS 3.9 and Xamiga does not. Roms?
2. Hard Drive: How much hard drive is need for both?
3. Installation: Difficulty Level.
4. Hardware Compatability:
5. Screen Modes:

@ fishy_
Great. Have you tried Nicholas' links above?
I have down loaded them but do not have a machine to test them on but this one.
I do not have any discs to burn the images.
Edit:
I guess that leaves Emumiga.
From what I hear it does not emulate the chip set either.

Is there a dedicated place for me to check up on Amithlon?
I may have some used hardware to build a system.
Has anyone tried any Aros 68K files or roms?
Thanks.
