ARM is lovely (With a fascinating history, hats off to Rodger/Sophie Wilson)... I can't wait until they get their HPC designs together... intel and AMD are gonna suffer big! :p


British ingenuity ftw! :D

@bloodline, do you have any recommended sources of some good info where I could better acquaint myself with the ARM?

Thanks,
AmigaEd


This is widely considered to be the best reference book for ARM developers.

I still haven't managed to get that Atari ST working... It powers up fine, but I'm not having much luck sourcing a video lead or mouse... I would love to see AROS on this thing :)


Do you have an old Amiga mouse?

Some of them had switches to let them work on an ST.

I used to have an old Squick mouse that had the switch, but I sold it (19) years ago :)

I'm not going to spend any money so I need freebees ;)


I have one Amiga mouse but it doesn't have a switch mate.

Perhaps AmigaKit.com would like to become a corporate sponsor of AROS by providing you with such a device? ;)

Why not just use AROS x86 on a x86 MAC  -- I mean, why settle for anm old G4 MAC when you can power up a cheap iMac x86 which looks way cooler :-)


The topic is 68k AROS not PPC.

I know -- I was just asking :-)


But G4 Macs are PPC so you confused my little brain! :)

AROS running on 68k Macs and Ataris would be cool just for the sake of it and would bring new life to old unused machines.  It might even bring new coders to our scene if we are lucky too.

I miss the old Amiga-Atari flame wars, they were much more fun than the (pointless) ones going on here currently. You got to argue about hardware you did have rather than about hardware that doesn't exist.


+1 to that!
