MorphOS for AmigaONE

@Whoever asked why Ben has to go to Paris:

You really think we don't want to talk to him about the project he's about to undertake, and possibly demonstrate other systems and solutions for him?

And exactly how many of the other OS developers have had to do this?  If AmigaOS 4 is "just another OS" why this special treatment? I think the answer is obvious.

He could run away and take the board to Thomas and Hans-Joerg and have it working on his own if he wanted to, but you'd really rather like to talk to the hardware designers, right?

Then why go to Paris?  BPlan are in Germany.  Surely as the hardware designers are in Germany and the AmigaOS developers in charge of the HAL/Kernal/firmware are also in Germany, then it would make sense to meet in, um Germany rather than both parties travelling to France.

Except this isn't an opinion, it's a rather fair question. Genesi claims you only need to reflash, I ask "with what?" and get no answer. So, I take it the answer is "nothing"?

[olegil]

I guess I am being ignored. Even when I know I have the right answer people still keep asking others. So maybe I should just stop posting here alltogether. Would save me a lot of time not answering user questions like I've been doing. *sigh*

[Merko]

Who claimed, or even implied, that there would be an OpenFirmware
implementation available for anyone to install on their A1's?

The obvious answer to the question is "there isn't any", but why do
you ask it?

Yes, it'd take a little effort to port MorphOS to the A1. Genesi would
have to modify SmartFirmware to run on the A1. Who denied this? What's
the issue?

@Downix:

They didn't try hard with any OS group. They e-mailed NewOS, some BSD'ers, the OpenBeOS group, some Linux guys... no problems with any of them. Why would Genesi offer more to yet another OS group than they did for the majority? Is Hyperion special in some way?

Think you answered the question by yourself: All this groups are afaik open source projects. Hyperion is a company that has to earn some money...

Maybe that's a little extreme, but please also ask yourself: Will Microsoft port WindowsXP to the Pegasos if Bill will offer to send them a board?

Hi

#

I notice noone is answering my question about what OF you would reflash the AmigaOne with. I want to see this, you know...

------

Come on now Ole-Egil :-)

A few weeks ago you asked me to relax... now I have to ask you the same... please relax !

No need to scream things out. If Genesi will make a free, maybe time-limited version of MorphOS for the AmigaOne they of course also will make whats needed to have it to run, don't you think ?

Hmm... maybe I can ask you, don't you like to have more software available for the hardware ?

All the best !

if Microsoft benefit financially, no doubt.

Maybe you hit it! Hyperion might do not see a market for OS4 on the Pegasos, as MophOS is to good...

And here we go to the schizophrenia part of the story as some people of the MorpOS side claim how great their system is and on the other hand blame Hyperion for not porting OS4 to their system.

Strange...

[Hooligan_DCS]

Well I was answering just the Microsoft related question, nothing else. I have no opinion what so ever about OS4 vs MOS, except I expect OS4 to be FAR more advanced than MOS 1.3. Maybe even 1.4.

So if you're referring me with your last sentence, go take a cool shower now Quick quick when the sweat is still there :-D

[Mason]

Sorry, I don't want to harm you!

It was just about the hole discussion.

... but I think a cold shower will be good too, based on the weather conditions in europe  ;-)

[Hooligan_DCS]

About the weather, tell me about it.. I have burned my back three times (but I DO have a sexy tan :-) )  

Now, me off to celebrate Amigas's 18th birthday ... till tomorrow ppl.

@Mason

Nobody is blaming Hyperion for not porting AOS4 to the Pegasos.  But nobody is granting them favors either.

And I'd note, QNX, a closed-source commercial OS *IS* being ported to the Pegasos w/o any special arrangements being granted other than a single e-mail to their management and mailing them a board.

[Hammer]

Maybe that's a little extreme, but please also ask yourself: Will Microsoft port WindowsXP to the Pegasos if Bill will offer to send them a board?

For potential answers, refer to issues that surrounds the MS Windows NT 4.0 PowerPC Edition…

I actually own that, surprisingly.

Never tried to use it tho.

Have a play with it Nate, it'd be fantastic to see it running on a Pegasos, the list of supported OS's would be even geekier with Windows on it!

Let me at'em!
