What OS?
« on: April 24, 2004, 07:34:40 PM »
Ok guys, I have finally got rid of years of Amiga stuff on Ebay. I am now ready to choose an Amiga OS on my PC. But Its been that long that I have lost touch with everything. I still have one called 'Cloanto' and I have one called 'QNX', but I'm not too happy with Cloanto and unfortunatly QNX of which I think is a lovely system will not run on my machine now, I think it has something to do with NTFS and you have to boot from floppy. I don't fancy all that, so can anyone tell me what the latest and best Miggy OS is for the PC, and where can I purchase it?

Thanx in advance

Yep, excuse my ignorance on these things, best way I can explain this is; I'm after my PC having the option of being exactly like my old miggy with all the icons as I remember them. I can soon dedicate another pc solely for an Amiga type system like qnx. Whats this AROS? where can I get it from?

Thanks
Pete

Thanks for that everyone. Will I be able to run all my zillions of Amiga ADF's and DMS's classics on them?

My apologies for inserting in the wrong thread, I'll graciously follow when its moved.

Ok fellas, I have downloaded 11 files from the nightly set, So what am I suppose to do with the files? Nothing runs. :-? Doesn't it load like when you run an exe file? If not, then its a job for one of my more techie friends.
