Questions about Amithlon and AmigaOS XL

[Methuselas]

@ AmigaED

Amithlon SCREAMS. It's fast as hell on my 1.3 and even faster on my 2.2 Barton. If you want to use it for applications that don't bang the hardware and games that do not as well, you're set. I was happy with my purchase, but *PISSED* about how they did Bernie. Sadly, Amithlon died WAY before it's time.

If you want to play old games, stick to UAE. I have been unsuccessful in getting AUAE to run. EUAE gives better results but I only recently started playing with it.

Nothing, IMHO, compares to Amithlon, other than a Peg or an A1. :-D

@ Ed,

Sadly, I think Haage and Partner are still selling it though they shouldn't, but there are still drivers in development for Amithlon. In fact, I just installed PCIInfo 2.0 and the updated library last night.

As it stands, it's great for what it is, but that's all it really ever will be. If you can find it, I highly recommend getting it, as it's wonderful software, but AROS is really the way to go using PC hardware. AROS is coming around nicely and once it becomes more stable, more robust, I'll swap my Amithlon box for an AROS one.

Or, until I get my A1 or PegII. ^_~
