Dont diss Dave !


And about NatAmi, due to the FPGA aspect it is innovative !

Reconfigurable FPGA computing is possibly a new frontier.
But Im not dissing X1000, it has its niche as well. And the transputer is also innovative. Just so expensive !!

Due to all these things IT IS essential with coordination among the platforms !

Making the AROS x86 etc the affordable end, the FPGAs the classic hw-emu line,
the X1000 and Sams the OS4 line for the people who want to pay for them.

And Id like MorphOS running on as much of them as well !

Apps should be easily buildable and coordinated between AROS / AmigaOS4 and MorphOS.

While the FPGA computers is the classic hardware emulation machines and possibly NatAmi the classic evolution.

Well. Night...

Dave probably views AROS in the same light as MorphOS.

Nope. I'm a big fan of FOSS, and love the idea of an open source Amiga-like OS. Keep in mind, while the Amiga itself in the day was of course closed source, most of use were knee deep in open source stuff. Some of that was just the open source Amiga programs, some of it was GNU ports (I probably has as many GNU programs in my command path as I did Amiga programs), some were organized projects like ARP.

I have run AROS at various points along its development, at least once a year. Not just AROS, I also follow the Haiku OS. And I jumped on Android pretty early one, and usually have 2-3 versions of Linux available, at least under VirtualBox. There are some things I need Windows for, simply because there are some apps I need and/or like that only run under Windows. Some of the stuff I do really does need my 6-core PC. Some works fine on my smartphone. Since Commodore, I have been open and interested in pretty much anything that works to replace Windows at a practical level. Problem is, so many of these things move very slow, until you get some serious cash behind it.
