Today is a new chapter in the Amiga History Book. Today Amiga Community can celebrate an Amiga Like Clone is the first to be officially become a 64 bit OS.
Read about it here (http://msaros.blogspot.com/) .
Congratulations and a very large THANK YOU to Dr. Michal Schulz for his dedication and hard work to make this possible.

:banana: welcome to the world of 64bits
-
Fantastic! After the junk from McEwan earlier this was a breath of fresh air!
-
Very cool!
-
Excellent news
-
Yup, excellent indeed, if we only could get that I-UAE to unchain AROS' well deserved evolution, me thinks Also Sprach Zarathustra! :-D

@downix
Are you Mr Drax ?
---------------------------------------------
I've been compared to Kevin Smith before, but never Huge Drax. I consider that an upgrade. 8)

It surely is wonderful news. Now I have the task of making sure Lunapaint compiles on the beast =)
-
I wonder how many man hours went into it?
-
Wicked, nice to see progress.
cheers!
-
We have no software but we are now on 64bit. Well, you can't have everything. :roll:
-
Good news!
Michal Schulz is now officially the 10000th person proven to be more competent than Bill McEwen.
-
We have software. We just don't have too much software from 1996, that's all. But that's ok, we're getting ports and original apps are developed. Other than 10 year old software, what more could you want? And :-) We have joy and happiness :-) A new platform with no corporation death on the horizon.

Now we just need to get AROS on the MiniMig and all will be golden in Amiga-world

Once EUAE is integrated, this should be a none topic of not being able to use Amiga apps on AROS. Sad we have to keep looking back when we have a very bright future with AROS64 to look forward to. Memory Protection is so hmmmmmmmmmmmm good.
-
OMG!
AROS64 = OS5
That's why Bill said it's ahead of schedule. Like these CinemaWare games using WinUAE, AROS64 = OS5.... Watch out!
-
So when do we get multi core support? :-D
-
Awesome - I love it! :bow:
-
As soon as AROS has E-UAE fully integrated, I'm all over that {bleep} and never looking back. :-o

See ACPI (http://thenostromo.com/teamaros2/?number=32) bounty, for a start. Long road to SMP, but it all starts with a single step forward.

Once EUAE is integrated I am all over it.
-
First in what way........first "Amiga Like" to be 64bit? Surely you don't think it is the first 64bit OS, do you? :-?
-
@amigadave:
This ain't no novel concept, first you put some topic, next some body.. and somehow somewhere a context is born, or am I missing something here... :-?
-
I don't know much about programming, but since AROS is "Amiga Like", isn't there a way to add some type of compatibility with old Amiga software or perhaps even hardware like the Video Toaster? Or is emulation the only way? (I know the VT can't be emulated.)
-
Starfoxx, might I point you to the teamAROS page, which includes bounties for such things as being able to run AROS on classic Amigas, and even of being a replacement Kickstart ROM as an eventual goal of the project.
-
same here.. once EUAE and AROS are integrated then that opens the flood gates for all Amiga users. Whats the status of EUAE integration?
-
Awesome. :-)
-
@TheMagicM
The integration has not been started yet. There is currently a bounty for it. The bounty is up to $1576 at the moment.
DiscreetFX has mentioned they might donate $1000 more to it.
So we are just waiting for someone to accept it. The more people who donate, the better the chance is a developer will accept it. So guys, donate if you can! I already have.
Here are the details of the bounty. (http://thenostromo.com/teamaros2/index.php?number=7)

@novaburst
Donate? Heck, I'm considering trying to do it. Only considering however.
-
@downix
which would be the biggest donation of them all!:-D
