Yup, Jason is progressing quite nicelly and with Toni's help we already got some low level drivers for Amiga.

Please remember that biunty is still open for donations!

Done

It will be work but it'd be a lot easier if some of the team could grant SVN access to the repositories. Toni Wilen is still waiting and so am I. It's a shame that the AROS team encrypted the SVN so that nobody could browse or download anonymously.

So am I...

This looks interesting: how can I join the mailing list ?

Great news!

I guess it will get faster as Toni is improving the HIDD. For now most of the things are drawn using PutPixel()... By reading the mailing list it seems a lot of progress is beeing made.

About the BCPL: what's wrong with 1.3/BCPL ? Anyone with enough knowledge could explain ?

understatement of the decade! The Amiga is now ours  We are in control, we have our machine in our own hands.

It means free, as in "freedom"
Even though the road may still be long to have a full working kickstart/os replacement (it's only a proof of concept here, compatibility wasn't part of the phase 1 bounty), it's great indeed.

Seeing how fast it was since the bounty has been assigned, I'm wondering why it took so much time for someone to get assigned to the task... People weren't interested maybe ?

From reading the mailing list, it seems some people aren't interested at all about NG stuff, while some on the contrary are only interested in NG stuff.
