Title: AROS on the eee pc
Post by: gaula92 on April 20, 2009, 05:14:39 PM

Hello there

I am running an Asus EeeBox here. It's great for OSX, so I was wondering on AROS/IcarOS in NATIVE mode. Has anyone tried?

The Eee Box has the following:
-Atom 1.66 Ghz
-1GB DDR2 RAM
-Sata 250GB HD
-Intel GMA 950 graphics
-Azaliza888 HD audio.

Since I can't find an updated hardware support list for AROS, I was wondering if you guys know..
I don't mind about internet support: I just need it to run Amiga programs (yes, I can do that with E-UAE on OSX, but that's not the question! :D) and play videos & music.

Thanks!

Hello. The Eee Box shouldn't be dramatically different from an iMica system, so at least video in VESA modes and network card should work without issues, and you should be able to install on SATA drive too. Forget audio, though: I don't think Azalia is supported with AC97 driver.

I Dream of AROS with more sound drivers :)
