Re: Amiga One or Pegasos?
« on: March 06, 2003, 03:04:52 PM »
I am a developer and a member of the Phoenix Developer Consortium.  I would happily support any OS and Platform, including AmigaOS4 and MorphOS, if it is viable for me to do so.

I too am waiting to see the AmigaONE platform running AmigaOS4. I heard a rumour that there is going to be some kind of demo of it lauched this month. I have heard rumour that AmigaOS4 is similar to MAC OSX.

However, I am concerned about the missing features (see my signature) and the lack of answers from either AmigaInc or Hyperion regarding this.
 
(By the way, does anyone know who is developing the web browser for AmigaOS4?)

I am taking advantage of the $299 Pegasos offer for developers and hopefully will be getting a Pegasos motherboard in in a few weeks.

Once I get my Pegasos board I will be showing it to other developers in the area of Vancouver Island, Canada. Quite possibly the Vancouver area too.

Anyone who is in Canada and is interested in checking out the Pegasos, please email or pmail me here.

Pegasos II when development is completed and into production.

These were never promised for AmigaOS4, they were promised for AmigaDE. Post a link where somebody promised them for OS4, or remove the signature


I added this questions to my signature in hopes that I would get some notice everywhere and hopefully  official comments! :-D

Either way, I was told these items were completed, but there is NO official report of them being completed on the AmigaInc website. Remember: "If it's not posted here.. then its not official". So where is it? (If there is, please post a link/URL here for me to check out please!)  :-D

I find it ODD that these items would be completed, but then burried, when they are really needed in OS4.

With all the porting work Hyperion is doing for 68K AmigaOS to PPC, you would think AmigaInc would commision the stuff originally developed for Amiga-Anywhere to be ported to AmigaOS4, where the main focus is now.

ps: I'll have to check out what the iBrowse team are doing with regards web browser :-D

Huh? In what way 'similar' its based on AmigaOS, not BSD
Yes, and.. source code is being compiled from  BSD and Linux for core components of AmigaOS4. (There is also a rumour that code for ExecSG is compiled from openVMS too.)

TBH, i see neither of those two things as all that important for me.


Perhaps, not for you, but to developers coming from Windows or Mac then these are desired features.

By the way, I am coming from the Windows market. Don't you want me to be in this market?

Hey Rogue!

Good to hear from you. Don't worry about the rumours, people say crazy things all the time. Sometimes rumours are true, sometimes they are false.

Nah, its all good :-D

We are all looking forward to the public demo of AmigaOS4, is it at the end of this month?

Any ideas on when the AmigaOS4 developer network will be set up? Will this be Hosted/Supported by AmigaInc or Hyperion, or by a different group?

Even if the ACM and Audio API were targeted for AmigaDE.. they should still be ported over to the AmigaOS4. We NEED this stuff. AHI only provides a basic audio interface, we need a full functional Audio API. And I don't think porting ALSA or OpenAL over does the job.

So email Fleecy and get him to send over the code :-D
