I think they are making a hosted version that would run on top of PalmOS, like the Linux version.

Maybe one of our AROS members here can clarify :-)

The Palm uses a 68k compatible CPU... AROS does not run hosted upon PalmOS, but actually runs the device natively! If it were hosted, development would be much furthur down the line.

If AmigaOS wasn't so hardware dependant, it could run on the plam too.

To get AROS onto the Palm you need a special program that uploads it into memory... I believe that one developer was able to jump to the AROS Kickstart in the Palm Memory and let it take over the device.

I believe there are special ROM flashing programs that will allow you to put AROS on the Palm ROM...

As to how usable... well it runs... :-) It opens a window :-) we have a touch screen device driver... but it doesn't really do much and no one is activly working on it at this moment in time...

I hope one of the devs who worked on it will post here :-)
