OS 4.0 comes to New York! - Updated: New Address

[kgrach]

The entire system is run using the PPC in 68k emulation.
While Almost all of the modules while having been ported to C for PPC recompilation. They have currently been compiled in 68K for rigarous testing of the 68k emulator. AOS4 features both interpretive and JIT emulation. I installed it over a 3.9 system. IDE thru emulation takes a heck of a performance hit but the rest of the system seems to perform okay Using a 200 mhz 604 and a PicassoIV graphics card. Would like to see how it performs using PPC libraries instead of emulated 68K. Sigh Maybe next month after they finish testing the emulator.

Hope to see you there Tom.

While I would like to demo a Pegasos system in the future. They currently are not available to purchase and beside I talked to Bill Buck at Amiwest. He said that Tom Morris is the Official Pegasos dealer and I can't become one here.

Before people attack me That statement is by no means a Put down of Tom or Genesi.
All I am saying is that I don't own a Pegasos and can't currently buy one now, and Seeing as how I can't become a dealer. I have no knowledge on delivery or specs of the next gen Pegasos or Retail pricing. So if you want a demo of a Pegasos system in new york you have to contact Tom.

@Tom
Yes it supports the UWSCSI controller but I have lots of spare IDE drives. So it was easier not to mention cheaper. To Stick the SCSI.device V50 into the new kick. Then to break open a NEW SCSI drive. I might transfer things over to the SCSI bus for the demo. I have to see how things work out. I Just got some more PPC parts to replace the 68K code. Much of the code I believe has been ported from assembler to C.
So to do the switch from the current emulated 68K to full blown PPC is just a simple recompile of the existing source.
 
I did not mean to say I will be showing the JIT all I meant to say is that when released  AOS V4 will have both types.

The AOS V4 I will be showing is a mixture of PPC code and Emulated 68k code all running on a 200 Mhz 604. The A4000 is not my Tower but an A4000 desktop provided to me from Mr Hardware Computers. I just helped him out by intstalling  AOS V4 on the A4000. I now currently testing the system out and installing a few programs to demo.  


Tom I have played with MorphOS. I have always had  an interested in MorphOS. I did not make your two earlier demos because like you. I used to travel allot for my job. This is now no longer the case. I am also well conversant in what MorphOS is capable of.

All I wanted to say is if you want to see a
MorphOS demo is contact Tom and he will arrange one for you.
