For more discussion of Amos try the Amos Factory website and download the AMCAF extension.  You won't regret it!

Yes that is the new home of the Amos Factory.  It may not be the same as the old one... (I'm not sure if I ever saw the old one.)  But it has been rather quiet there.  Maybe as soon as Sidewinder finishes the next release of the Mattathias compiler we can start working on the Amos compatability extension.

Unfortunately, when AMOS Pro appeared, and sometime later the A1200, it quickly turned out that François Lionet's programming habits were less than honourable---AMOS was intricately tied to the ECS hardware, and making it available for AGA (or nowadays, OS4/MorphOS) would constitute a major rewrite of the not-too-well documented assembly sources. That was the program's downfall.

Consider it a TOTAL rewrite as the original AMOS was only a p-code compiler for 68000 with little support for newer processors like the 68ec020 except for the speed.  No assembler-level optimizations either.  If you're on a PowerPC chip you'll either have to run it in EUAE to get the custom hardware emulation or wait until the Mattathias compiler is released.
