Questions about Amithlon and AmigaOS XL

[AmigaEd]

Greetings,
I have been trying to find out more about just what exactly Amithlon and AmigaOS XL is.

From what I can gather Amithlon is a software solution for running and Amiga environment on PC hardware. Am I on the right track with this?

So then , what is AmigaOS XL is this some variation of AmigaOS like AmigaOS3.9?

Lastly, where might I find the Amithlon software? I tried some tlinks that I found, but they all seem dead :-(

Regards,
AmigaEd

You could try Amiga In a Box if you just want to run a good WB environment on the PC.

Yes, I have been using AIAB, it is quite good. I have been using AmigaSys also and I like that as well.

I thought that Amithlon might be faster and more stable. I like the idea of booting up directly into the Amiga environment. I had also heard that Amithlon was quite fast.

Hmmmm....well, perhaps this is somewhat of a stupid question, but I'll pose it anyway.

As Amithlon has been killed off is there still any development for third party drivers, etc. going on?

I'm not even sure as an answer matters as I think I'm unlikely to find the Amithlon software anyway.

It sure sounds like it was awesome though...

@Methuselas,

I have been looking around on Haage and Partner's website and I can't seem to find Amithlon on there.

Maybe I'll have to look at AROS more closely. I don't really see my self getting an A1 anytime soon unless there is a 50% price drop. Heck, it took me 17 years to get an A2000!
