Other OSes for Amiga?
« on: September 05, 2003, 11:28:34 AM »
Aside from POSIX OSes, has anyone ever created an alternative OS for Amiga? Perhaps even going as far as to create their own KS ROMs? Just curious...

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

Completely non-Unix OSs can also be POSIX compliant (to a greater or lesser degree).
e.g. Windows NT, BeOS, QNX.


Thus my choice in saying POSIX rather than spelling out BSD, Linux, Unix, QNX, etc...  :-D

pOS sounds like it would have been interesting... FreeDOS would make a cool port, just for S&G's. Hell, start with a CLI based OS and build from the ground up!  :-)
