Cue the slightly nauseating AresOne video. It's nice to see AROS in action, but not those flashing multicoloured PC cases again .

Looking forward to AMC's release!

To me it is, this 'news' is just someone selling PC hardware to suckers who can download AROS for free off the 'net and run it on their own PC hardware.

There are plenty of people out there unable to run AROS on their PCs just because they haven't a clue about how to repartition their drives, how to manage dual boot options with GRUB, or how to install and configure a virtualization software on their computer. Not talking about the most popular "I can't code a driver by myself" crowd. There was a time when Amiga meant - first of all - "easy to handle", and now Amigans are the one complaining that Windows is too easy to use and Windows users are too dumb to use a computer. I have a nice news for you: AmigaOS is a really difficult mess for a newbie, and looking to some OSnews.com reviews I am not the only atheist telling this (just to be clear: also AROS is, that's why I am here with Icaros and Pascal with Broadway).

I wonder if I should buy up a load of old dell laptops, remove the dell branding, call them 'Amigo Ones', Stick AROS + an emulator on there and sell them at a special discount...

Providing you'll ensure total compatibility with AROS (and I mean full hardware support, the same way Pascal and Steve are doing with AresOnes and iMicas), you are welcome to do this, and I hope your business will be fine.

Looks good, how about some sort of E-UAE integration? A games menu with box covers would be pretty cool.

comes and even more..... i try to make a CDTV revival with focus set on games.
I also try to get the AMIGA brand(if not, than not! but the thing comes and i'm looking for a good name*). I think for an abstracted hardware like this it doesn't matter if it is x86.

I need a name!

regarding the app-browser with store i'm already in talk with Shareware and Indie groups....

AMC+app-browser plugin= nice all in one

Do not take it so hard, I criticize always hard but gets things done. What I am saying that I am much dissatisfied with the AROS project from the beginning would be a amiga os that you can run Amiga software on x86, but it became never operate, only one amiga similar sytem to do their own thing.
If the AMC will be sold as it is, I will probably buy it. Would love to help if it goes with the theme and write plugins if it will support it.

And that about the MOS I would not say much about.

Well the target of AROS was always to be source compatible not binary. But there is a good start: www.emumiga.com

@shastar:
You don't have to think for too long to realize that theses kind of hardware will be much supported for the intent of running AROS then any other box would ever be.

You talk of free as if one shouldn't contribute in the slightest to the cause, those with that line of thinking thankfully take a peak and get tired easily and move along, those who are willing to contribute in whichever they can are contributing for themselves, contributing for a better AROS.

You will have a lot of time saving money, there is no Amiga in development and still no AOS4.1 for real Amigas.

Yeah I already know your opinion as well, repeating yourself in parrot fashion is quite boring.

Hello,


AresOne looks nice...
Any idea when AMC is going to be available?

BR,
MZ

I hope to enter the betatesting stage in two more weeks, if no nasty bug will come out I can answer "soon" :)
The hard part is done, now there is the boring part:
- translation files
- configuration files
- documentation
- bug fixes
- optimization

AMC is cool, but it needs some finetuning.

Still public beta would be nice

As it was pointed out already, AROS compatibility has always been meant to source level, not binary one, so software must be recompiled to work on AROS, exactly like ancient Unix software needed to be recompiled to work on Linux. This is somehow working already, with problems rising from GUI toolkits and system-specific functions that weren't strictly part of the original AmigaOS 3.1, but were introduced from third parties (MUI) and furher developments of the operating system. Binary compatibility requires another hardware abstraction layer someone is luckily already working on.

Riiight... that's your interpretation of 'Truth'

Its called an AMIGA X1000, It runs AMIGA OS 4.1 but in your opinion its not an Amiga?

Hmm... Go figure....

Officially, it's called AmigaOne, not Amiga... They cannot use Amiga IIRC.

Besides, all these "it is/isn't a "true" Amiga" nonsense is really getting silly. Strictly speaking, none of the current Amiga flavoured hardware can claim to be the direct descendant of the original Amiga, not in name nor in architecture. So really, why go down that route, why not simply enjoy and support all of the Amiga-oids currently on the market?

@Wizzard

OS 4 users accept that you sometimes spend money to fund OS development and support "our own".

It's no different for AROS, but seemingly you can't think beyond this bias of yours.

Portraying valuable contributors to AROS as cheats and conmen is rather pathetic and childish, and I actually think you owe him an apology.

Chris

Thanks for your input (and your bias)

Wizz.

@Wizzard_o

You point me to where I've accused Hyperion/A-Eon/ACube of selling a product under false pretences and I'll happily admit my bias! Happy searching...
