New Kickstart 3.9.1 68k on the way

[bloodline]

The AFA project was supposed to update AmigaOS for 68k but failed at this point it seems, but the idea is actually good.

Failed?

Why are you so stupid ?

Thomas isn't stupid, he's simply stating copyright law... If you don't like the law, you need to take that up with the elected representive for your country's government.

Cosmos: Here's a plan of action for you -

1. Contact the authors of the various components you want to put in the ROM (I'm sure people here will help).
2. Get approval for the use of the components.
3. Use AROS equivalents for components you can't get approval for.

Simple :-)

Sorry, but not in a real Amiga, over there, it is crappy shame.

In x86 or high speed emulation it is pretty good and I can agree that it surpasses 3.1. But in an Amiga is a big "NO".

The big hole in AROS 68k is the graphics library, which has no Amiga specific "Hardware Acceleration". But, in case you have forgotten, Cosmos likes to take some 68k source and then optimise it... What better candidate is there than AROS!? There are no licence/copyright issues, he has access to the original C source and it need optimising for the 68k... It's basicly cosmo's Dream come true!!

again, all this is a neat thing to hear and my opinion, that it should have been done, as well, but as we know it will never happen nor be a computable risk to invent work into, since there will never be a solution to guarantee a legal base for all these undertakings.

btw with aros(68k) layers implementation you can move windows off screen , no problem. the only limitation for this on unexpanded amigas without rtg card may be low chip ram at times.

AROS also has non-blocking right mouse menus.

Consider we would. Consider somebody would find a suspicious function in AROS, where a potential rights' owner might consider his rights violated. How can Olaf, or I potentially prove that we haven't contributed this code by copying it from the original, hence violating the rights of the owner? I personally don't want to be in this position. Just in case you believe that this is a constructed case, I give you three letters: S, C and O.

Perhaps you could offer "user applied" patches for AROS? a special "Olaf and Thomas" set patch...
