OS 3.9: Boing Bag 2 available now!
20. March 2002: H&P is proud to announce the availability of Boing Bag 2
for AmigaOS 3.9. Boing Bag 3.9-2 contains many bug fixes, small
enhancement and new features in the areas multimedia (AMPlifier, PlayCD,
sound datatype), shell, Workbench (Find, AsyncWB, UnArc, XAD v10),
ReAction and harddisk support. The Boing Bag is delivered in three parts:
The main archive with all the files needed to update AmigaOS 3.9, the
translations into different languages and the contributions (CDDB library,
OpenURL, ClassAction). We want to thank all people that made it possible.
Please download at least the main archive and the translation(s) for the
language(s) you desire. The contributions are optional.
Note: This Update requires AmigaOS 3.9 with Boing Bag 1. AmigaOS XL users
can install the Boing Bag 2 directly.

That must mean I'm evil, as it wasn't intentional :)

But emulation of 68k would be pretty damn fast on G3 & G4 ppc too, I hope. Is it really necessary to have a PPC or x86 native version of your average workbench utility? Why not use the 68k as a temporary VP, until DE or anything like that comes along in a useable form?
Why not port only the CPU intensive applications (mpeg en/decoding, raytracing, (un)packing, ...) to both PPC and x86. An officially supported cross-compiler could make porting apps alot easier. Why not support Martin Blom's gcc cross-compiler?
I myself wouldn't like to see apps that would only support x86 or PPC either, but Hyperion clearly don't want any kind of compatibility between Amithlon and OS4. But please don't think that will stop Amithlon developers from producing software for Amithlon. |
