Time for AROS and Natami ?

imo the 3d + superaga is a lot of wasted developmental effort.

I actually dont quite agree. The "SuperAGA" bit is appealing - Do I want to run DPaintV and do animations on 1024x768 HAM8 non-interlaced and thereabouts in decent speed? Yes, please  - thank you very much!

You had better start writing that DPaintV now... because the existing software can't use anything beyond what the AGA chipset provides...

As for 3D - I'm not quite sure, depends how it is done and how old m68k software can use it.

The NatAmi could add anything to their chipset, but ALL existing software is going to be limited to what the AGA chips offered... all except RTG software, that is designed to run on GFX cards... but I'd rather buy a $10 GFX card than some weird Hobby FPGA with no software support....

Think for a bit!

Utter crap... AROS is doing just fine, right now Anubis is just a discussion group to plan the future...

They could "just" add a CGX/P96 and W3D drivers. If the hardware delivers it should be faster while keeping compatability.

Well in theory at least. Let's just wait and see if they ever deliver.

No FPGA in use right now will ever be as fast as even the cheapest GFX card you can buy...

If I want to run RTG software I use UAE... that way I can use the newest GFX card I own...

in a soft-render mode?

With the P96 UAECard drivers... better than my BVision...

How is AROS doing fine? Care to elaborate? From my perspective it isn't usable as everyday OS yet and I have as much hope in that as NatAmi currently.

Well I've seen nothing but a dodgy photo of some electronics, which claim to be "NetAMI"... AROS though, I can happily download an install on my Computer works fine... I can play with the provided software, certainly it's about as useful as my Amigas...

@bloodline: sure, but uae somehow always let me wait for something, be it displaying characters i have just put in. as i have already stated i would take any hw bwe it intel but i cant stand windows underneath.

That is just prejudice. I suffer no such arrogance.

no prejudice allthough i might be consider arrogant (sometimes). i use windows allright for what i need it. but, im not gonna pay ms to be able to run amiga, not after recent experience.

No need to give M$ any money (I don't), run UAE in Linux, or my choice: OSX
