It was and is being changed.
Functions such as AllocSysObject() GetScreenAttrs() and a whle heap of oters were introduced.

My POV is that it is better just to re-write the OS once (properly) than to re-write all existing apps.

The gradiual approach enables older software to stay working for longer, why break stuff before you need to? We need the old software.
But newer software written with the new APIs should require less comptatibilty hacks in future.

you are a technical person, im not so much, in this case why do you concentrate on meta discussion about my attitude and posting style instead of simply prove me wrong in the merit. |

just showing hardware works. |
to certain extent. i think the choice of what have been demoed proves that the graphics card that has been mounted works and is well supported under linux (now, the graphics card model has not been mentioned, has it?)
again, this is a consideration, possibly wrong, as i apparently must insist on, not to be haunted for the style of my posts.

my attitude has not developed out of nothing. i could in turn call you or olegil on your "permament positivity" which i dont see the objective reason for, but i dont. i think if there is people who will defend something no matter the facts, there is also place for people who question this. im sorry to observe that my posting history has proven me right in most disputes i have been taking part so far. |

No, he said he doubted a lot and expected a fair amount. Expectation != proof. _________________ This weeks pet peeve: Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean. |

I can make assumptions without having a proof
instead of expect he could have written assume
do you want to discuss about the correct use of language now?
I personal do not care about it finally, the hardware is many years behind modern standards. Trevor D. has written no prices yet, so we will see. It will be something for the fans of AmigaOS in the existing community, not more not less. It will certainly gain much attraction outside. But everyone can spend the money for what he wants. Wawa certainly is not very positive regarding anything AOS4 related but your answers were not really funny either. Last edited by OlafS25 on 15-Oct-2015 at 11:37 AM.

Since I'm not at all positive regarding the news that this board uses a P1022, criticizing me for "permament positivity" seems a bit strange.
I've designed a P1025 board myself (slower cores, slightly different peripherals), and I wish I had waited a bit and gotten a T1025 instead. But what's funny is that my board beat Tabor to the market by YEARS even though I was delayed by about a year in the process (the guy who was doing the software went on paternity leave as well as both of us being reassigned to more critical projects).
I quite strongly feel a P1022 board in 2015 is the WRONG idea. Not because it's impossible to use it or anything, but an e5500 or e6500 would fit so much better with the other boards being released.
But what the heck, now that we're getting hints of e500v2 support in AOS, I have a card here that could be "rerolled" for the Amiga market with minimal hardware effort (namely adding two PCIe slots that I couldn't have fit in our embedded form factor). _________________ This weeks pet peeve: Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C).

I'm sorry Mr Internet Humour Policeman. If you could send me a list of pre-approved jokes I will be sure to stick with them in the future. _________________ This weeks pet peeve: Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C).

Well, if using pure integer the Tabor should beat the PegII as it does a bt more integers 2880MIPS vs. 2300MIPS) and has a much faster bus. _BUT_ - at least on MorphOS - MPlayer uses Altivec which boosts the 7447 performance of the PegasosII quite bit further. Then again a Pegasos is clocked at just 1 GHz, my Powerbook runs at 1.67 Ghz - there's no doubt the Tabor cannot compete with that.
I am curious for benchmaks.

really an extravagant and costly way to first criticize me for style and then to agree with the essence of what i tell. congratulations, you just supported my "doubts" you laughed about so much. |

Can you please make a comment about the Tabor processors and the doubts that came up in this thread?
Thank you

134s under OS4? Sounds fine and would be a tad faster than the PegII then. _________________ My programs: via.bckrs.de MorphOS user since V0.4 (2001) |

AmiWest participants are already at the show and with the Devcon starting today, you can say the show is already underway.
This is one reason why I opened q/a threads on both Amigaworld and Amiga.org. This way questions WILL reach the presenters/exhibitors who are otherwise engaged in show prep atm.
Amigaworld thread
Amiga.org thread
@all
I am NOT, repeat NOT combing this thread for questions to forward to those this may concern. If your question doesn't get posted to the threads listed above, it doesn't get sent. Simple as that.
