Now, and for my question - I happen to have a CD32, and with a bit of luck I'll have a CDTV sometime in the near future, too. Are there any plans to bring these platforms on par with the rest of the MC680x0-based AmigaOS systems?
First, thanks for the flowers, appreciated.
Concerning the CD32: We should have somewhere, deeply hidden in the archive, the sources for the system, but they require some care, review and testing before they could be released. To give you some idea: We had a new exec library ready, but - according to one of our testers - it managed to disable the CD-Rom, without which the CD32 is a bit pointless. It turned out that this is because the CD32 has some even cheaper, but less compatible emulation of the "IDE interface" (which is really only a couple of gates) in one of its custom chips that is not entirely compatible, and the exec hardware detection logic apparently disabled that as a side effect. Even though we made some attempts to fix it, the issue never really went away, and it may require some additional changes in the scsi.device we do not know. So yes, there is certainly willingless, but it is much more of an effort than one might guess.
For the CDTV, the situation is even less rosy. As far as I know, we do not even have the sources anymore, so the question in how far it could be supported. Given that most programs for it were written with the modified 1.3 in mind, it is also questionable in how far this attempt would be worth it. I would expect a couple of compatibility problems at least, so the potential end result is probably less useful than one might hope.
