If only AROS had Sata support.


There are bounties for supporting nForce3/4 SATA and AHCI SATA.  Silicon Image 3114 controller driver is under way.

But AROS doesn't run Amiga software...


Via EUAE it does.  Intergrating EUAE into AROS is currently underway by EvilRich.

When it comes to OS friendly applications (OS friendly application can still bang HW) can you truly integrate 68k applications to the hosting operating system (little endian AROS on x86) ? To me integration means that I can run IBrowse 2.4 in AROS like it was x86 native application.


I'd say that would be pretty close to my own personal definition of integration.  We shall see what EvilRich can do with the initial phase and if it falls short, we can always start an improvement bounty.  Of course the traveller should be finished prior to EvilRich's deadline.
