Starting an unofficial Classic AmigaOS 4 FAQ
« on: December 20, 2007, 12:51:33 PM »
I am thinking of starting an unofficial AmigaOS 4 for Classics FAQ on my website.

If you have any ideas or Q&A entries you have, can you reply here so I add them to the web site.

The AmigaOS 3.9 FAQ can be found here:
http://www.gregdonner.org/os39faq/os39faq.html

My website is:

ToolsDaemon is a hack of a program and not really a WB friendly program. Have you tries ToolManager instead or Dopus Megallan?

Ihave no idea what is included with AmigaOS 4 so I cannot confirm that.

Has any one got a directory listing of what is on the CD?

Could any one provide me with the following information to add to my AOS 4 FAQ:

a) A complete feature list.
b) A Complete directory listing of the files as a text file(eg dir all >list.txt) of the CD.

Thanks!

Also, can anyone confirm the following?

a) AmigaOS 3.x can use Phase 5's ppc library and/or Haage & Partner's WarpUp library. Are either of these emulated in AOS 4 or does it have its own system for running pre-AOS4 PPC titles?

b) What graphics support does it use? P96 or CGFX or both?

c) Does it support 3D graphics? OpenGL, Warp3D?

Humm,

a) Which pre-OS4 PPC software can run on AmigaOS 4? Games? Apps? or will they have to be re-written?

b) I wasn't planning on uploading the list to the net, but will help me develop the FAQ further using it and answer any questions..
