So 3.9 doesn't talk to the chipset at all then?

I think I understand now, 68k emu is started extremely early, and the morphos kernel probably handles drivers... Actually I think that's a great idea for a youtube video.

But if the 68K emu is so early, why didn't they do the chipset too?:confused:

They weren't trying to recreate UAE.

No but it looks like they accidentally made amilithon, might as well finish the job. That would actually make morse sense as they could run mos native apps with virtual memory and memory protection, outside the emulation, and feed them back into the windowing engine. I guess it was a matter of manpower, though.

No they didn't make Amithlon or anything close to it .....

Most of the Amiga-API lies in the boot.img and only the Workbench-part of 3.9 was booted in my accident. Thats why it does't need chipset-emu, and thats why it is so fast (as great portion of the apps actually run inside the PPC-native OS).
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

Other than to look at it right when I got it, never been out of the box. I do have a couple hardware projects related to each other that I can use it as a test platform for though. Maybe I'll do that if I ever get far enough for testing. Hopefully... Need to move up to an 8 port KVM though, my 4 is full already.

Heard about the 3.9 trick years ago but thats the kind of stuff that is easely forgotten IMHO, so you should be able to do that trick on the MacMini too I asume, how would you partition the harddrive then if you want to boot into 3.9?
