Kickstart ROM Replacement (Phase II) Assigned

[Khephren]

Toni and Jason started working on workbench replacement fitting into ROM modules. Here are first results (original AmigaOS 3.1 Workbench disk booted using AROS Rom in WinUAE)



Some more information from Jason:

"Workbook: Super lightweight Workbench/Wanderer replacement
   
    Workbook is a BOOPSI based Workbench replacement, designed
    for very light weight systems, namely Amiga m68k.
    "

Will it offer any udgraded functionality, such as c2p or a ham aware screenmode prefs?

[Khephren]

Already does RTG is built into AROS.

I mean on AGA machines without a graphics card?
It annoys me that shapeshifter runs in HAM8 but my WB won't. (well, there's a screenmode hack to run WB and icons in HAM, but it WBpattern just draws backdrops in their base colours)

Very good news though, iv'e really enjoyed using AROS recently, it coming on leaps and bounds. And means we can add features without having to ask Amiga, Cloanto, Hyperion or anyone elses perrmission to tinker with our own machines.

Is there anywhere I can go and read about what capabilities this will bring to our old girls?
Want to see if this will really bring less dither to my workbench...

And poor old Cloanto get a bad rep by associating with evil. A bit like Bobba fett. Man's just doing his job.

You all realize if the IP owners chose to take legal action they can pay a lawyer and claim that AROS infringes upon copyrights.

That being said this is this whole kickstart replacement is awesome news.

Well,they can. but A)the copyright holders are skint  B)AROS does not contain copyrighted data-that's what it's about, and why it's taken so long.
