The Palm uses a 68k compatible CPU... AROS does not run hosted upon PalmOS, but actually runs the device natively!


I'm sorry but... I just have to say... KICKASS!!!  :-D

@Bloodline

A repeat of my earlier question:

how would you get AROS onto the ROM?

I didn't think most palm devices were flashable?

To get AROS onto the Palm you need a special program that uploads it into memory... I believe that one developer was able to jump to the AROS Kickstart in the Palm Memory and let it take over the device.

I believe there are special ROM flashing programs that will allow you to put AROS on the Palm ROM...

As to how usable... well it runs... :-) It opens a window :-) we have a touch screen device driver... but it doesn't really do much and no one is activly working on it at this moment in time...

I hope one of the devs who worked on it will post here :-)
