| AmiZilla FAQ now Online : Comment 18 of 18 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by MarkTime on 23-May-2003 14:04 GMT | In reply to Comment 17 (alan buxey): Aranym, UAE, and Basilisk all now have MMU support in various experimental
versions, and lucky for us, non-amigans also are working on adding this
support.
of course, our 'powers that be' decided MMU support wasn't important.
I bet they'd think it was important if mozilla ran on a real amiga,
and some versions of WinUAE, but not on OS 4...and no version was available
for OS 4.
but since others are doing the MMU, soon we can run linux/m68k in an emulated environment, and test the speed of mozilla linux/m68k under emulation, as well
as on a real amiga.
This is what I'm investigating now, though I won't have immediate results.
The reason I am testing this, is because the 'real port' that I want to work
on, will involve having a virtual machine running a a monolithic exec task ...it
will still be a real port, cause it will run at native speeds on a real amiga (i.e. it will use the actual 68k proc on a real amiga)...and it will
use reaction as the front end.
in other words, it will be a system friendly program, running mozilla on a
workbench using reaction.
thats the theory.
I don't care when I finish it, and I won't try to win the contest.
still, I hope that I will finish it, and do so before anyone else...just
for the thrill, but only time will tell.
anyway...if anyone doesn't think this method is a real port, they can bite me.
hehehe :-) |
