Arix

[Iggy]

Having heard about this project awhile ago, I'd agree with Nik, give them time to present their case.
They have some nice features planned.

Well, Altman is pretty far off topic, but after talking to the guy I grew to like him.
OK, what he had planned definitely offended purists, but I wish I had a C64x.
That thing is bound to be a collectors item (if it isn't already).

[Iggy]

WOW!

For a community that usually exhibits more than its share of patience, this is surprisingly fractious.

I understand Nik's reluctance to revel more about this, and am glad I only know a little as i would not have his patience.

But, at least understand this, we have someone (who I personally trust) telling us it exists and that he's used it for awhile.

Isn't that enough to temper the premature negative BS?

The guy from Philly has a good point, utility.

I already know some of you don't buy that argument, but it is why I'm using the OS I am.

And AROS has always suffered from this "its not finished yet!" feeling.

A Linux kernel makes perfect sense to me.

After all, Linux has had SMP support for some time.
What does that suggest?

[Iggy]

That ARIX isn't a SMP design?

Good quote!
And since its been mentioned I don't have to keep quiet on that one.

"rather similar to AMP"

So folk, our first support for multiple cores.

And if you expect more than ASMP out of Amiga OS 4.2 you might be too optimistic.

[Iggy]

PowerUP was "our" first support for multiple cores (more than one and a half decade ago)!

Not really, those boards don't work that well when using both processor concurrently.

And if we really want to go out there, then all systems with intelligent support chips are multi-processor system.
So does that make an Atari 8biy system with an Antic chip multi-processor?
