Kickstart ROM Replacement (Phase II) Assigned

[Terminills]

The money is used to purchase the crystal meth and cocaine that it takes to code for 48 hour marathons. Some bounty takers also buy pizza and beer.
 
Others buy asian hookers. I say, whatever it takes to keep them coding and motivated, I'm happy to contribute.

I hope you don't mind ... but I think I might steal that for my sig =D

I have no problems donating to bounties.  I've done it in the past and I will continue to do so.

Some projects I don't think the bounty comes anywhere near the value of the time that gets spent on them.

@Deadwood: could you post the configuration and AROS snapshot number you used ?

I can't get the wanderer disk image to boot. I'm using the latest WinUAE beta, with some fast RAM and RTG,.. At the end of the boot it just exits the CLI but there's no wanderer window/icons.

Btw I noticed I have some error requesters while booting: "Please insert volume devs:",... I don't think I'm supposed to get these.

Don't use the floppy image...  I setup the aros folder up as dh0: and it boots for me. =]

So let me get this straight: this kickstart will allow AROS 68 k to run on classic 68k hardware, and we will able to run native 68k software within AROS?

Would that require the  Commodore kikckstart 3.1 roms to be physically removed and replaced with burned ROS kickstart roms, or will it be possible to use something  like Bliz kick or remapollo to softkick the AROS kickstart.

Aren't most AROS apps written to run  in x86 AROS, and therefore not compatible with 68 k AROS?

Aros x86 apps would need to be recompiled for Aros 68k.   However 68K AOS binaries will run out of the box.   You will also gain drivers etc from Aros.   Jason received my mediator last week so pci should also become available eventually.

From the dev mailing list while talking about scalos for aros.

"I'll put that on my list of things to test after (a) DOS Packets, (b)
Mediator PCI support for m68k, (c) AHCI support for AROS [all
architectures], (d) VESA ROM PCI graphics card support for AROS
(non-x86)[1]

But it's in my list!
