Questions about Amithlon and AmigaOS XL

[wobbly]

Sorry to bring up an old thread.

Am I risking anything [beyond normal reason - afterall, my Amiga hard drives must be >10 years old..] - namely my data on my hard drives - if i connect them up to a pc, one that i intend to run Amithlon on?

I guess i'm asking if is it safe to plug in my Amiga hard drives!

Is anyone using their old Amiga hard drives with Amithlon?

[wobbly]

Whoaa! Thankfully I asked and you replied!

Thanks for the heads up!


But, I guess its okay if I have no Windows hard drives attached I can just plug-in the Amiga hard drives without worry..

Thanks for that, good to hear it works.

I'm going to try it with just the amiga hard drives and no pc drives installed..

Well, i set aside a machine just for qnx and amigaxl.

both installed quickly and with no problems.

that was for qnx rtp 6.1

i'm trying 6.3.0 now and see if its got updates that allows the amiga side to use more stuff
[i also installed qnx/amigaxl on my dell laptop but the sound and ethernet parts are not recognised by qnx, so i'm guessing 6.3.0 has improved/updated drivers that allow it to use these..]

heh.. someone on another thread - or forum - reported that AmigaXL worked with 6.3.0

at the moment, although i am impressed with 6.3.0 [it seems very nice] - i cannot install AmigaXL!

i'm missing a shared library and it cant find it..

:-(

might have to go with 6.1 on another partition perhaps..

i'm thinking about trying Amithlon on the same computer..

 :-)

i'm mainly trying 6.3.0 because i wanted to run this on my dell laptop, which under qnx 6.1 doesnt recognise a few things [sound, network, etc]


edit:

okay, went back to 6.1 on the desktop - at least i'll have my amiga on that - i'll try amithlon again at a later date.

edit2:

hmmm. 6.3.0 didnt pick up the laptop hardware either..

heh.. oh well..
