AROS Kickstart Replacement Phase I and II

[dammy]

Typically, I would be posting this over on the AROS subboard, but I feel this should be mentioned to the UAE (as well as Classic Amiga users) subboard readers since this could be of major interest.

TeamAROS' has two (and third brewing) bounties Phase I and Phase II bounties that would lead to a AROS kickstart replacement for Amiga kickstart for UAE.  There is a Dev that is looking at it but is holding off till more $ is added to make the huge task more worth while to do.

This could be leading to new kickstart ROMs being burned for your machine or use in UAE.  Yes, individual amiga series would have to additional work done to it, but this is your chance now to push forward and leave Amiga Inc to the history books.

Gee, the bounty is almost up to $300... about 10 times what it was when I looked at doing it when the bounty was set up.

Too bad that's still probably less than $1/hr for the amount of work required.

It does take time to build bounties up.  The more people who see AROS as a workable alternative, the faster donations are accumulated.  The larger the community builds up, the more donations flow in, more devs are attracted to AROS developement.  Long ass process, but that's the nature of a community based OS.

Yes, the bounties still need more cash, which is why I'm posting on here.  I can see an alliance between the Classic Amiga owners, Emulators, and AROS community being beneficial to everyone.  Classic owner can see a ray of hope for updating WB and kickstart.  Emulators can gain freedom from having deal with Amiga Inc's IP.
