So I wonder will these components run on top of WarpOS?
 
Don't tell me they're 68k builds again...

I like this to be confirmed by Hyperion. To make sure.

The original post to Amiga Impact was by Ben Yoris, who works for Hyperion.

For those who are in a position to visit Tarn-L'Hermitage this weekend and are still hesitating: the local wine and food are very highly thought of all over the world. ;-)

@Treke/Piru

Since there is no talk about ExecSG on that show, and Warp
wouldn't make sense (context switches), I would say 100% 68k.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@Coder: The only problem will be that the people going giddy up will expect a full bug-free/tested OS4 thru their letterbox the very next day.
Just showing some important/high impact features will at least show some of the things that have been worked on.
Mutch better that an out of focus video or static screenshots don'tcha think?

So it makes you wonder why they mention that the A4000 has
a CyberstormPPC...

;-) I noticed the HDToolBox is called the "MediaToolBox."  This implies that it can be used on media other that just hard drives.  Maybe memory cards, etc.  Interesting.

@Quixote

Don't know what that has to do with.

For removable devices you will need device and a mountfile.

Using removeable disk as HD is allready possible with the old
HDToolBox it just doesn't make any sense.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Are you going to the demo, Rose?  And if so will you give us a report?

The new Intuition, and RoadShow, &c., would be using 68k-based Exec?

I guess I can see it, it just seems more painful than using the supposedly complete ExecSG.

Maybe it's just been too long since I programmed Amiga & I'm confusing libraries.

Hoya!

To bad, I am REALLY skint at the moment!!! :-(
Otherwise, I would have enjoyed going to Tain, besides I wonder how
far is it from Tours???

Anyway, I hope nice things will be shown at the show, because people
will become REALLY tired of waiting for small pieces of infos...
The Amigans are loyal but every vertue has its LIMITS!!! :-\

Ok, BON APPETIT! (I'm eating). ;-)

Be funky
