AROS may be an alternative that is modern to AOS, but it just doesn't seem as fast and responsive as AOS. Now that I know that AOS was written in Assembly(I thought it was C and Asm combo), I suppose that the genuine 68k code really doesn't do anyone any good since the instruction sets are different.
AOS *is* a C and Asm combo.
(If anyone can help and show me how to make AROS as fast as AOS, I'm all ears. I tried it and was completely lost from the door, so I didn't really give it a fair shake, so to say.)
What aspects of AROS did you find slow? What kind of PC did you try it on?
