AmigaOne Alive?

Why waste your time and resources? You may as well throw your money into the fireplace, the Amiga is dead, end of story.

Hi,

My Amiga is old but not dead, I turn it on every night.
The other day I thought it was dead, but it was just snickering

Dammy,

I have never had the chance to look at the AROS internals although I am familiar with the effort from the beginning. I have been associated with the Amiga from 1987.

I am a trained Assembly language, c, c++, and Java programmer with 24 years experience.

I have a PPC design that can use Amiga OS 4 with little or no porting needed.

The AMD might be better with AROS but that is something I cannot comment on without being familiar with the internals.

I also have an alternative OS that is even smaller, faster and lighter than OS 4 or AROS.

Embedded developers know it well.  They already finished an AMiga port some years ago.  That is all I will say at this point. You can research it and you will know who it is.

Hi,

I have been saying that all along, that they should of went with AMD a long time ago, but these looney Amiga people couldn't see that PPC was not only slow but it was actually fading away in developement, now it seems to be dead. I have heard of someone trying to port AmigaOS over to X86 but I just took it as rumor.

At least someone is standing up on Amigaworld and putting some of the blame on Hyperion (despite the usual {bleep}s calling him/her a troll)

Very true though. Hyperion have been made out to be innocent Amiga heroes for years but in fact they are the stupid {bleep}s who have shafted themselves by doing buisness with dirty crooks. How the hell can anyone defend a company what closes their eyes when doing deals? OS4 will end in tears no thanks to Hyperion.

Hi,

@Savan,

Actually Amiga Inc. started it all by hiring Eyetech to build the boards and Hyperion to program the software, it seemed that for the first year, Eyetech changed the hardware around a few times then quit, and left the scene if I remember right, Amiga Inc. still contracted Hyperion to program the software, then I guess the money ran out at Amiga Inc. and then Hyperion took them to court or Amiga Inc. took them to court or both of them took them to court and thats were they stayed for the next umpteen years. Now I could be wrong with all this because actually rumors where flying all over the place and it is all because the Amiga community couldn't decide on the right CPU to use.

Hi,

@Adz,

Lets see if you call the video toaster or Pen Pal, Final Copy, Superbase, Miamiga File, DBman, VIP, etc. games then you were really to young to see what the Amiga could really do and still does today with these programs.

Sure the Amiga could play games, but so can the MAC and the PC's but you won't call them game platforms.

All I know is that everything I put on my Amiga 4000 is still there since 1992, can you say that about the PC's with crash and burn windows business machines, or lock up and lose it MAC machines.

The Amiga wasn't about games, I did more work on my Amiga than I do on my PC, because I know the Amiga will keep my data, I just sort of use my Windows machine for games only, because it is very good at crashing and losing data. Anybody out there using a PC or MAC that still has data on it since 1992 (without backups) I don't think so since most of you probably threw those old machines out.

if AMIGA is dead, what are all you doing here ?
 
The title says AMIGA.ORG, not AROS, or MORPHOS, or OSX or WINDOWS or LINUX.

@ribdevil,

Yes but classic Amiga doesn't do quite well on the internet. Even Amiga.org doesn't talk Amiga anymore.
