Cloanto 2009 Boot CD

[Roman78]

I have a simple question, but i'm unable to find the information on the internet.

I own the Amiga Forever 2009 from Cloanto. It's possible to boot from that cd and run OS 3.x on a x86 machine without to boot an other OS first. But i want to know what kind of emulation they use for it. The cd boot's faster than my XP/W7 installation.

I'm planning to make a desktop machine to run OS 3.x native. The benefits is that's it's faster and cheaper than an original Amiga. For example: whit sysinfo i get 637 Mips and 681 mflops on my machine. Think there's no turbo card that can be that vast. And i'm thinking to build this into an Amiga 500 case.

Yes, i noticed that. But is it available to download or buy?

[Roman78]

Yes bought the AE 2009.

Ok lets try to make an independent installation.

This boots faster than ubuntu. I also have ubuntu running on other machines. But this is going to be an Amiga eeehhh call it clone.

@Duce, i think a stripped of linux disto can boot baster than an XP installation. What i'm missing in the manual is getting rid of some services like security center or automatic updates.

/edit: Now i installed it. But it wont go further than a gray screen whit the Amiga forever logo. When im pressing ctrl+alt+f1 i get the console screen whit the error messag: Starting the X windows System... mtrr: your processor doesn't support write-combining.

hmmm that's something to think about. Can strip and XP installation to the minimum, so that it can run in 24 meg. Will try that too.
