AmigaONE is a PPC motherboard without a 68K CPU. So you'll either need OS4 (which has 68K emulator built in) or UAE to have AmigaOS running on it.

Well, he's actually right...
The PPC version of UAE doesn't have the JIT-emulation that the x86 version has, nor does it have AHI or Picasso96 drivers; forcing more energy to be used on the emulation of the custom chips.

Any info on HOW to install it?  Every time I've tried, I get a message that my disk is locked.... From my CDRom!  Help from an expert?

edit the UAE config file:

near the bottom there is an entry to map the linux dcdrom to UAE, change the protection bits from rw (read write) to ro (read only)

Then linux will stop trying to write to the cd.

1. Maybe, if you have PPC linux running on your A1 and you are installing PPC linux software.

2. Linux software usually works best if downloaded
from a repository with apt_get or RPM in red hats
case. Then it installs all the modules in the right places. (you hope)

3. DVD? i can't help you there much, probably requires editing some config files somehow
to have it show up.

I've just read the interview with Ben Hermans who says that OS4.1 is already in the pipeline, if so why not release OS4 and then 4.1 as an upgrade? :huh:

Title: Re: Question about OS

OS4.1 is in the pipeline, because some features which were/are planned will not make it into OS4 in order to make it arrive sooner. Work on those elements may have already been started I presume. I hope that clears it up.

Excellent idea!  I would love to see any working
version of OS4 released just to see it finally out.

It's mainly due to the fact that I don't like Debian Linux and I don't want to be using an emulator. I have hardly touched my AmigaOne since it arrived a month ago. :boohoo:

Debian Linux is not that bad, believe me. (Not that I booted it up since MPlayer is available for MorphOS, but it enables you to use MOL, Noatun, Mozilla, Opera, MPlayer, and a whole list of nae bad stuff, not to mention some decent desktop systems.  It just takes some patience and reading to get accustomed to it.)

Hi Mouse,



Plz specify more details:

How did you connect it  (ide port, master or slave)
What did you try to do to make it work

You're better off getting OS4, dude.

What's the actual problem: software for dvd playback or problem with accessing the drive?

If you want help - be more specific.
