Thylacine USB Software Update V1.1 : Comment 16 of 47 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ben Hermans/Hyperion on 27-Sep-2002 10:45 GMT | In reply to Comment 6 (anon): You mean the "others" that have taken Apple's discarded Rave API and have produced a wrapper for Warp3D?
The ones that will include FFS2 as well as SFS?
And also wanted Roadshow (but didn't get it)?
And licensed MUI?
And have their USB stack and RTG system available also for 68K based Amiga's as an OEM product?
Seems those others are not reinventing the wheel either if you ask me.
Let's face it people: the Amiga development community has become quite small and there are already people out there with products and a proven track-record.
It would be absolute idiocy to disregard their efforts and instead develop an alternative solution which would take more time, cost more and would not necessarily be better.
The key to making this work is secure license-agreements with access to the source-code.
Even if Commodore would have bought Arexx rather than license it, it would have made no difference as the code is entirely in 68K ASM and would need to have been rewritten in C anyway to produce a PPC native replacement. |
