You cant hold on to compatability forever.
Even many programs that worked on A500 doesnt work on A1200, so nothing new per see.
If you want AOS to be a OS alternative for the future, then performance is a big issue. Compatability thru emulation |

Yes! (FS|Win)UAE is here for the legacy stuff, and provides a good enough integration with the host o.s., in order to share some resources.
Much more can be done, but of course it requires more effort, which can be leveraged if all post-Amiga devs join the forces at least for this purpose, which brings A LOT of benefits for all post-Amiga o.ses. |

I see you can´t understand very reason of OS4/MorphOS existence: bring new features without losing to much from the past.
If you interrupt that link to Amiga past, you may well use any other host OS with UAE (like you do now). Why maintain own out-dated OS then?

MorphOS will do this step. Think about it... Quote:

I understand it if your only goal is to run only legacy Amiga 68K apps.
However I use AROS (but the same can be applied to AmigaOS4 and MorphOS) because I want to enjoy a different o.s. experience which is clearly linked to the Amiga past through the Amiga o.s. infrastructure.
I already have Windows 10 for the "daily needs", while AROS is for fun. Quote:

I know it, but DOpus and OWB show that for big and important projects a collaboration can be made, and it worked at the end.
Enhancing UAE/Janus and integrating it on MorphOS/x64 and, eventually, in AmigaOS4/(PowerPC64 | any-other-64-bit-architecture) is another project which is even more important.
All IMO, of course. |

I use AROS too, but my user experience is hindered by lack of compatibility (speaking about AROS "x86").

That is exactly, what I wrote: your needs aren´t the same as these of current OS4/MorphOS users. They want (at least some) "daily needs" and fun together.

Two applications (although important) can´t be compared to new OS developement. Here you would fight with overgrown egos... |

regarding MorphOS "NG" we will see how it will look like (in some years). It will break compatiblity not only to 32bit 68k world (you need UAE) but also to existing MorphOS. One of the MorphOS devs admitted that (except 68k via emulation) no 3rd party software will work on it (and because they want to implement modern features like MP and SMP and 64bit I assume that no existing MorphOS software will work by simply recompiling). They also want to drop legacy concepts like datatypes and only offer wrappers for the old APIs. If all that becomes real it is for me nothing more than a tech demo with no software. There is no huge activity on MorphOS regarding 3rd parties right now and then they even split their small platform. To me it is a risky bet.
regarding cooperation I would use the famous "Oh No!" from Lemmings
The fanboys in the two communities and the OS devs really hate each other, even people later joining one of the two platforms are taking this over. Of course there are always some exceptions but overall. So no chance. Magellan and OWB are 3rd party software with common interest so some people joined (most not OS developers). On OS level I do not see that. I had discussions on morphzone recently trying to explain that the "red vs. blue" war finally harms everyone but I think it so deep now that people will never overcome that ever. Also basically all "NG" platforms are more and more heading in different directions so that at some point working together makes no sense anymore. I personal thought cooperation between MorphOS and AROS would have made sense (both share code, both have many components in common) but (besides MorphOS is simply the best and 10 years ahead why working together attitude in MorphOS camp) with "MorphOS NG" the common base will vanish. In my view MorphOS will not be "Amiga" anymore, at best "Amiga inspired". But there we will see... Last edited by OlafS25 on 04-Oct-2015 at 08:49 AM.

Then keep it. I'm sure it will get AmigaOS 4.2 support when it is eventually released. |

Actually, the exact same price the First Contact X1000 were announced at.

The X1000 price was without OS4 or sales tax IIRC.

| Why compatibility through emulation? You don't need emulation for that. Look at Haiku's experimental GCC4 branch. It uses a layer (which is not the same as an emulator) to run old GCC2 BeOS apps.

Hi Trevor! I think X5000 project was quite interesting also if price was still a bit too high for "every" Amiga users... However...any news on when we all can look at effective x5000 horse power with some test? _________________ Simone"Tuxedo"Monsignori, Perugia, ITALY. |

The .pdf clearly says WITHOUT license, so you do recall correctly. heh.
Holiday season 2013 there was a limited time offer of a system with AmigaOS 4.1 at a lower price, but it's not fair to compare a launch price of one model with a short lived sales price of another.
Quote:
For a time limited period you can purchase a Nemo motherboard complete with AmigaOS 4.1 for £1366 or a complete AmigaONE X1000 system with AmigaOS 4.1 pre-installed from £1,707.50 (prices exclude shipping & VAT where applicable). |

Hi Trevor, it will be possible to preorder only Cyrus+, RAM and OS4 (and eventually a soundboard) instead of a complete system? |

It says 64 bit, and dual core, but we all know that under AmigaOS4 these things are inaccessible. |
Depends how you look at it. Is the hardware 64 bit and dual core? Well yes the CPU is. And Linux can certainly run in that configuration. What OS4 is doing or not isn't bound by the hardware. But I hope they have picked hardware than OS4 can support. And do so in less than five years fully stable. Otherwise there is no point and the argument of it being built for OS4 will be false. You don't get hardware built for an OS without drivers and claim it is designed for that OS while charging a fortune unless you really wanna piss off your consumers and drive them out. I may be a bit harsh here but I think we need to look at the facts.
For example, for years it was said that Macs were expensive bacuse they used this exotic PowerPC. So what happens when they shift to Intel? The prices are still expensive and the hardware still limited in some Apple way!
I also hear, at least in my club, talk that PPC CPUs aren't expensive and available. But when they end up on OS4 boards somehow they are expensive and rare.Last edited by Hypex on 04-Oct-2015 at 03:35 PM.
