Using Amiga Forever to create Amiga Laptop
« on: January 02, 2007, 06:14:01 PM »
Hi,

I know this topic is brought up here a lot; creating a standalone Amiga using PC hardware and some form of emulation.

However, it seems most people are into using Amithlon or AROS for this. I would rather use UAE for compatibility. I don't care about speed.

It looks like Amiga Forever has a very nice boot CD feature which uses KX Light to then load a version of UAE. This is exactly what I'm looking for.

Before I buy it though, I am wondering if anyone can help me with these questions:

Using KX Light + UAE, what kind of hardware support is available? Can I use the PCs sound and GFX hardware, CD/DVD drives, USB etc?

Is there a way to permanently install the KX Light and UAE startup to a HD partition, so that my laptop can boot right into AmigaOS?

Finally, how quick is the boot using KX Light? If it is quite slow, I may as well just keep using Winuae on top of XP..

David
