Mac On Linux AmigaOne screenshots
« on: July 06, 2002, 09:19:06 PM »
There are only two pics so far.

One has a window open with details of the system processor and shows OS9 loading.

The other one is a pic of the Mac version of Netscape running on OS9 running on MOL running on an AmigaOne displaying Amiga.Orgs webpage.

It would be interesting to know what the performance was like.

These pics have apparentlly been posted on the Slashdot thread.

If I thought there was ANY ####ING POINT in explaining to you why /proc/cpuinfo says 500MHz, I would do it.

But as there's no way in hell you're gonna believe me anyway I suggest you read the source code and remember these two hints:

The OF is hardcoded to say 500MHz.
Linux loades in the OF device tree on boot.

Thats what I thougt, the A1 is still running on the same
evaluation-BIOS as seen at Computer-City ......

Sorry but something like that should have been fixed by now if
Alan has a contract with those who made the BIOS.

If he doesn't, the A1 is running pirated SW !!!

Speaking about piracy:
You do need a ROM-image for MOL ?
The EULA of MacOS_9 says ?

The wierd thing is not the hardcoded 500 Mhz. It's that it all started here at Amiga.org. Asian1 started the "
Yellow Dog Linux on Amiga One?" where he posted a message from the AmigaOne list where AKCONTROLS said he had Yellow Dog Linux 2.2 running. Then I posted another post from that list where AKCONTROLS said he got Mac on Linux to run on Yellow Dog. People asked for screen shots. I posted on the AmigaOne list asking AKCONTROLS for some screen shots. He sent me two and I posted them in the Yellow Dog thread in the Forums and in the comments to the Yellow Dog news item.
From there it got  posted to slashdot, then to Ann, then back to here....
I would have posted them as a News item, but there as already a Yellow Dog news item and I didn't really see them as new worthy. Obviously, people see this as a bigger deal than I do...

MacOS? Linux? What are those? ;-)

It really burns me up to see that LinuxPPC and MacOS users view the A1 as a cheap alternative to their present hardware. Sure, it might shift more A1s - but what about AmigaOS? It it just some sh*t to them they want to wipe off as soon as possible? It's like building a house for yourself and finding someone else living in it.

The original idea of the AOS dongle doesn't sound so bad now as it had done.

They can buy the non-dongle version and run whatever they want on it. Besides the more boards sold the cheaper they get. It's economies of scale.

@KennyR

Why on Earth would you be either surprised, or disappointed?  Without serious applications, you could put AmigaOS on *any and every* hardware device in the world and it will still be a toy OS.  

I personally say more power to them.  If they are willing to buy Alan's 600 Megahertz AmigaOne (MAI Board) and call it a "cheap alternative for Linux" then that's apparently the kind of idiot Amiga Inc wants in this community.  Welcome aboard.

Let me ask all you little hardware tweekers something, and I want an honest answer.  When was the last year you guys remember paying $1.00+ per Megahertz for a motherboard?  1991?  1992?  Excuses aside, I've still yet to hear a reasonable reason for the A1 to cost $650 + the cost of OS.  

Oh wait..  I'm sorry, I forgot, if you lend them $50.00 now, they'll throw in the OS for only $20...  Gee, that's a good deal.  Am I the only one that keeps picturing the hamburger guy from the old Popeye cartoons here?

@Wayne
And they call ME a "sour Kraut"  :-o

But you are 100% right here !

If I want Linux - > AthlonXP/P4 (faster cheaper better distros)
If I want MacOS -> iMac (faster or cheaper fully legal OSX no frigging Linux to set up and it looks รครครค different)

Only if I am into hobby-computing I will think of "wasting" money on either a TeronCX_MK2 or a Pegasos.

...and I didn't even get one mod point for it. :(

On the other hand, some $#!@$@# moderator decided to mod my post with the current counter on the amiga-anywhere site as -1 Troll. Slashdot, gotta love it.

Yes, I did that intentionally to promote Amiga.org since I figured the screenshots would get sent all over.

quote]The EULA of MacOS_9 says ?[/quote]

The Mac I have came with OS 9 installed on it.  What does the EULA say anyway ;)  I pretty much doubt that Apple will be worried about the odd AmigaOne owner running OS 9, or even OS X.  The majority of people who purchased the AmigaOne are interested in running OS 4.0.  I ran MOL because I was curious to see if it would work.  It obviously should have, but I wasn't going to really know until I tried.
