AROS & Aspire One AOA150 what can I expect really?!

[ncafferkey]

Unless there's more than one version of the AOA150, I can safely say that sound, wireless, and GMA graphics work. I've never seen screen dragging not being able to reach the bottom of the screen.

BTW, what network driver are you using with VirtualPC (or in your EMachine if running natively)? An unstable network driver might cause problems with other areas of the OS.

I beta tested IcAROS 1.3 extensively on my AOA110 (same as AOA150 but with an 8GB SSD), and don't remember it crashing. I'm not much of a gamer, but I did run Blobwars, Doom and Quake a bit without trouble. Browsing the web wirelessly was very stable, but it can be slow for heavy sites (this has been fixed in AROS nightly builds, and Icaros can be patched).

Disclaimer: I wrote the wireless driver, so I'm probably biased ;-) But wireless is working well for a lot of AROS users now too, despite the intial releases last year being fairly unstable.

For the patch, look or ask around at aros-exec.org. But I'd guess there will be an official fix by the time you get an AA1, and the bug isn't critical anyway.
