AROS Support

[bloodline]

I think AROS is the ONLY way to go now. Forget the A1 or the Peg.

Yes, AROS is IMHO the most workable AmigaOSoid solution, but don't think that AROS means x86... PPC and 68K (including one for plam devices, AROS in your pocket!!) versions are being developed and should make public appearences in the not too distant future (tm).

I hope to have AROS on a Peg too :-D

Now, I KNOW it's not finished, and i KNOW theres huge chunks missing, but, the workbench kept freezing on me, and the windows stopped drawing icons, and sometimes it just went-away for about 5 mins, before actually responding to a mouse click.

Some more info about your set up would be good.

I'm not against AROS, it's just too Alpha for me at the moment.

Aye... it's bLeading Edge alright :-D

@Matt "Bloodline"
Any idea whern double clicking an icon will work? i hate click the execute in the command promt box.

It will work when we move to the actual desktop, rather than the test one we use at the moment.

That said, I think Adam was planning to implement that very feature in wanderer some time this month!!!

It's a...

2GHz Intel Pentium 4 Processor
400MHz Bus Speed
256Mb RAM
40Gb Hard Drive
Integrated AC-97 Sound
Integrated Intel Pro/100 Network Card
nVidia Vanta 16Mb Graphics Card

... if that helps, I'm surrounded by them here at work.

-Jar.

Bah... :-(  I can't test any Intel P4 machines, I don't know any one who has one... we all have Athlons here, and one mate has a P3.

Just a Quick note for those who have down loaded the AROS CD-ISO:

Look in the Contrib directory to find all the software :-)

MY CD-ISO also contains DOOM and Quake. Have fun

I think that a 68k integrated EMU would be quite important for AROS because it would allow you to use compilers, a tcpip stack, browsers... until we have more native AROS apps... I would put the IMHO most important things that need to be implemented in this order:
1.-68k EMU
2.-Native Dev Kit
3.-OpenPCI support or compatibility...
4.-CGX & P96 Emulation if it doesn't include it

1. We shall see what the "Emulator Guy" comes up with :-)

2. On it's way. :-)

3. On it's way, PPC port first :-)

4. As standard.

So does AROS go on an A1 ?

I'd like to have a butchers' while waiting for OS4...

ps: what are the PalmOS requirements for the Palm version ? will my OS3.1Handspring Visor Deluxe be ok ? (presuming i can get the s0dding batteries to last more than 5 seconds !!  :-x )

the PPC version of AROS only boots OpenFirmware based  PPC machines at the moment, which means some macs and the Peg. Also it is still in the early stages as Michal Shultz is doing this by himself.

AOne (UBoot firmware based machines) is planned for after the OF version is at a beta level.
That may or may not be before the relase of AOS4... who knows?


I suggest you send an email to the AROS-user mailing list, as thats the best place for finding out info about using different versions of AROS. They shoudl be able to explain how to load and boot AROS on a PalmDevice.
