OS for the X1000

@Buzzfuzz

The announcement is self praising but the actual product is still months away so I guess it is ok to let them have their 15 minutes.

Since this thread is supposed to be about the OS for the X1000, I wonder if the AROS Team will consider porting AROS to the X1000?

PPC is completely wrong target platform for AROS development.

The A-Cube motherboards already have a working AROS port.

And it serves only for technology demo. It can not run 68k binaries so it is better run AROS natively on x86 or m68 hardware (i.e. Natami if it ever gets released).

What AROS PPC does need is binary compatibility with MorphOS and/or OS4 software.

If AROS/PPC was MorphOS compatible you would need only small 68k emulation layer to make it 68k compatible... but I still dont see point for AROS/PPC. AROS lacks on so many areas but x86 compensates many of its flaws.

@amigadave

I know that already... ;-) you can find my name from MorphOS credits and I even developed OS4Emu many many years ago so I know both systems inside out... :-P

(Oh, and I was talking about AROS/PPC in my previous post...)

Such as?

Zune is missing lot of functionality.
