AmigaOne Alive?
« on: March 13, 2006, 05:32:31 PM »
Is there any hope of ever obtaining a new AmigaOne?  What are the best prospects for a new mothetboard?  And how does one get OS4 if they did get a motherboard?

They now say on their website that they will work with you to port the OS to a new chip if necessary. I was thinking of AMD. The chips are well supported and have a future.


Never mind OS4, AROS is already working on your first step (x86-64 native) and could do it far cheaper then Hyperion.  The x86-64 native port bounty sure could use some donations.  Michal is reworking the AROS kernel to be modular for a bunch of future improvements to bring AROS to modern OS capabilities.  :-)

Ok, so I downloaded the ISO from the 02/07 build and it looks pretty cool, but what exactly can I do with it?  Is it installable to HD?  Can I install regular Am iga programs and run with it, or arfe there compatability issues, etc?  I admit I haven't read mcuh on the website.
