Amiga on a usb drive
« on: March 20, 2006, 06:53:54 PM »
With usb flash drives so cheap, I was wondering, would it be possible to set up an amiga emulator on a thumb drive? Something like the U3 system but with an amiga flavor.

Plug in the drive, and an amiga window pops up, with network capability and all. That way I can carry an amiga style enviorment around with me without doing configuration specific to whatever machine I'm on.

I'm looking at winUAE, but it seems that maybe AROS might be a better option... And I'd love os4, but from what I've read thus far that seems liek it will never be possible.

Anyone have an amiga envorment running smooth off a usb drive?  What did you use and how does it run?

My Hope would be to have the entire thing installed on the usb drive so it would be completly portable.

This does seem possible with UAE, but I can't seem to figure out if UAE will use my pc's internet connection.

Has anyone gotten UAE to do that? Use the pc's internet?
