VmwAros Live v1.0 on my new motherboard in 3-Pack

This is the latest version of Paolo Besser Aros distribution. It runs like a charm when installed on a hard disk and shows other OS suppliers how things can be done for a user based OS. Small light and efficient, words not used with main stream systems. Shows how the PCI Amiga project would have become if it had got passed the starting gate.

Looks nice and fast, what hardware specs did you have that running on?

Forget now, sorry long time ago.

You are mistaken about Jim Sachs passing away. He is still actively developing his marine aquarium screensaver at serenescreen[dot]com.

[clusterukdevelopment]

Apologies for that then, really thought I had read the opposite. How do I feel now.

[vertigoz]

I really hope that it is being run emulated since the movie was a bit jerky... ;) I expect that in native it doesn't behave that way

[clusterukdevelopment]

This is fully live, it is just that I am using an N95 Mobile phone to record and then relying on iMovie not to screw it up. Which bits were jerky and I will look into a rerecord.

Brilliant video :) I think the developers have done well in keeping the spirit of the Amiga. And it really shows in their coding practises. AROS is a refreshing change from all of the sloppy programming and bloat that seems to be rampant these days.

Great video. I should re-install AROS. What CPU setting did you use for the emulator? That screamed for a 68000.

Goooood!!!

AROS rulez!

[IslandDreamer90049]

Hopefully relieved to learn that the talented Mr. Sachs is still ticking! :-)

Excellent video, by the way! I'm also an original Amigan (circa 1985), so I look forward to seeing more.

Or is it not VESA GFX ?

[nikosidis]

I can see that you are using VESA gfx-mode. That will be little jerky.

Anyway great video. thx :)
