AROS 68k EMU

[Crumb]

I think I tried it with a 133 pentium loading from disk. I didn't try the CD version...
floppies are very slow...

@Matt:

How do you install AROS?
The floppy disks of sourceforge or your web can't boot, they complain about lack of execute, copy and other commands...

The CD includes some kind of installation? I couldn't find it... a friend of mine wanted to install it on a 486 laptop but he couldn't find how to install it.

Oh do you plan to add swap memory soon?

The CD is currently required for an install. It's a very slow process, but it does actually work.

Before we include Virtual memory (Which I personally hate and have switched off on all my machines) we have to finalise a design for an mmu.library (we need some standard, platform independant way to access all the different MMUs that exist.)

"we have to finalise a design for an mmu.library (we need some standard, platform independant way to access all the different MMUs that exist.)"

If I were you I would send Thor an email to see what he thinks about a standard MMU.library, it seems he has a lot of experience with MMUs :-)
I don't know the level of portability of this library, but it would be a good idea to try it.

BTW reimplementing Prometheus.library for AROS would be great... and later aplying the openpci.library wrapper, of course.

Well, as with everything in AROS... all it takes is someone to get on and do it :-/

Brand new PCI drivers are on the way:

Cool snapshot! :-)

I don't plan to install Linux and as there's no gcc that can select different targets (AROS/68k, AROS/i386, OS3.x, WarpOS, PowerUP, MorphOS, OS4) I doubt that I'll be able to compile anything for AROS...

Well, AROS will come with GCC included for the HD install, so you could actually develop within AROS :-)
