Ben Hermans Interviewed
« on: May 21, 2002, 09:33:26 PM »
Released to Amigart.com this is a short interview and by the sound of it, maybe the last before we see AmigaOS4 because it sounds like they havn't got far to go. Ben states once again, to be patient and wait for the best AmigaOS ever.

I cannot remember reading it before. Maybe the same questions were asked to one of the Frieden brothers. So it might look familiar.

If they have AHI-drivers for SB Live! it shouldn't be too hard to make drivers for other Emu APS-cards, right? I'd prefer to have drivers for my SB Audigy Platinum Ex. What about latency and stuff on the AmigaOne + AmigaOS4? I can have 2ms latency on my current PC using Asio drivers, which makes softsynths etc extremely playable from my synth keyboard. These are topics very interesting to me.

Nice!

We are almost there it seems.  This is the painful part now, almost but not quite here!   Kind of  like down loading a huge file as it gets near the end........ almost finished .....c'mom c'mon!!  :-o


The last bits are the hardest to wait for!

I'm pleased at what seems to be a very solid effort by Ben et all,  we shall see.

I agree with Coder about having already heard much of the stuff before.

It'd be so much easier for everyone if the interviewers remembered to put a date on their interview. The readers would have an idea of how fresh the news is, and it would cut down the flamewars and speculation a bit.

Still, it's encouraging. SB Live! eh?

the need to support the onboard sound becomes less urgent.
HUH!?

This goes right against the philsophy of the Amiga IMHO. :-x

So near and yet so far! I know the feeling!


@gnarly

I have to admit I found that strange too, afterall, I thought the point of Eyetech putting the audio on the board was so that you didn't have to buy a sound card straight away. Keeping costs down when buiilding a system. OK you should be able to get better sound from a Live! card (less interferance from the mobo and better quality chips) but even so! Hmmm  :-?

Looks like its not long until os4 is ready for cyberstorm but sigh....... looks like we have to wait a while until its ready for amigaone  :cry:
Which then makes the aone even more fuc*ing outdated.... I was planning to buy one, but now when it looks like the OS wont be ready anytime soon....

Yeah definately interested. What I can't understand is why no-one has tried to Interview Olaf Barthel. He's been the main pillar of support in getting the OS updated thru the last few years, yet he seems to be a bit of an enigma; we know what he can do, but don't know nothing about the man, his thoughts/ideas etc, etc. AFAIK, it was his relentless campaigning that got OS3.1 updated in the first place, so it seems about time he was nailed down and forced 'to spill the beans'.  ;~)

I suggest you read the interview with Alan Redhouse in Total Amiga.

I think you will find that the AmigaOne specifications have undergone some dramatic improvement.

BTW: What I tried to say with respect to the issue of support of the onboard AmigaOne hardware is that we will certainly cater for this but we are not going to hold back release just because the soundchip on the mobo is not yet supported.

I'm sure I would get killed many times over if I tried to pull off a stunt like that.
