The shell, the GUI and the TCP/IP stack are already native PPC code


How do you do (or better test) that when the kernel isn't finished yet ?


According to Thomas Frieden, the Exec SG is mostly done, but they're adding things like virtual memory to it. Presumably thats enough of a framework to start running other modules of OS4.

Most of the code could have been developed in C and run on existing Amigas while waiting for the new Exec. It wouldn't be too hard to then move them over.

Stop picking holes in every little thing Kronos, its pathetic.

Sorry but articles like this is NOT what is good for OS4 !


I don't think its that bad. It draws attention to the fact that things are happening, and gives links to where people can get more information.

AFAIK elreg refer to the Stinger as Stinker on purpose. They have various other nicknames for things.
