020 is for the picasso driver in UAE-E, the OCS/ECS/AGA driver is not recommended as there has not been much effort put into them yet.


How to enable the Picasso driver in Uae-E ..?

Then you need 1mb of ram that doesn't disappear after a reboot to store aros in. So if you only have chip ram then you need 2mb of it, so 1mb of it is used for storing aros and the rest is used as chip ram. If you don't have 2mb of chip ram then you need at least 1mb of local fast.
 
When it's complete you'll be able to burn a rom and then it will be alot simpler, except you'll need to figure out how to add 1mb roms.


So the extra 1 MB is for AROS storage. Should not be problem with a ROM-EEPROM replacement. And for Minimig/FpgaArcade it's just to replace the existing one ;)

Note that Minimig has no fast ram at all, even with 4MB, only chip ram and slow ram.

I think that's not too hard to change. The only real hard limit is the 32 MB (?) onboard RAM.

In defense of Darrin, that is in no way a stupid question. Why trade a know product for a product that is likely to be slower and less reliable (at least initially)/


Thank you Iggy.  That's exactly my point.  We all have Workbench and if we don't then we can get it the same way we get ADFs of games.  So why use something that almost does the same to replace something that already does what you want it to.

As you pointed out, I wasn't having a go at AROS but rather pointing out that we already have a tried and tested solution.  :)

Maybe not the first time it was asked, but this one has been asked and answered umpteen times already. And the answer is pretty obvious too. The question is pretty much on the same level as "What is the advantage of using ReactOS over Windows?"


Yeah, the answer is obvious:  NONE.

Of course, you can use KingCON and all the other fixes and workarounds instead. The fact that most people do is why a "modern" AmigaOS 3.x system is a heap of kludges and patches and commodities and replacements for OS files.  AROS provides a way out of that, and allows us to create a nice clean foundation and improve that directly instead.


My point is, that until AROS provides the same compatability as the "heap of kludges" then it continues to make sense to use the "heap of kludges" instead.

Yes, it will be nice to have an AROS install that works as a 100% compatable Workbench 3.x replacement and installs in one go instead of in various steps.  Let me know when that happens and meanwhile I look forward to seeing HDF files of AROS installs released on a regular basis which I can test.

I'm pretty sure AROS is a heap of kludges as well.  That is just how it is with Operating Systems.  We ain't programming with dip switches anymore :D

As opposed to "pirating".  :D

Fair point, if it works.  :)

LICENSING = Hordes of evil lawyers.

AROS-m68k is also in the beginning. It's the first actually working version. But that's also means one can have a starting point in something that works. Instead of writing lot's of code and hope it succedds.

Has anyone mentioned in this thread about laptop option? I think we have but I'll do it again. It's pretty skinny, it could maybe become mobile Amiga. With the right kinda of kit. Would have keyboard, screen, a place to mount it down, power supply, battery solution etc.

Oh, people are all over that apparently

We could do better though.

Any idea what the EXPANSION board is going to cost (with AND without 060)?

I've got money put aside for Replay and now need to for this goodie!
