I have news that Elena Novaretti, author of good software programs such as ZoneXplorer and Power Icons (and a known Pegasos fan and owner) is also present at Webbit Padova with a Pegasos II kindly furnished by Pegasos Italia just for the exhibition event.
We expect soon impressions of Webbit show from Elena, and news about the impact which Peggy II made to italian public.
Wow!!!
After 10 years of absence to important events here in Italy, two Amiga based platforms are there!
More! I have news that the booth by Virtual Works, Ikir Sector, Soft3, Bitplane (with partecipation by Eyetech, ZetaOS and Cloanto people) IS A DOUBLE-SIZE booth.
Very impressive.
And more, seems that (basing upon Ikir statements on the web), there are two Pegasos at Amiga booth...
Amiga has a Very Very strong presence and a lots of opportunities to impact the public at Webbit Italy.
Good news for our beloved platform.

| Elena Novaretti (ZoneXplorer - PowerIcons) is present with a Peggy II at WEBBIT : Comment 12 of 49 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Kjetil on 08-May-2004 18:09 GMT | In reply to Comment 7 (Kronos):
Hint: One of the Friedens allready admitted that they will have to write some sort of box
for apps written for AOS1-4.0, once they introduce REAL MP in OS4.x
Yes I know this where used as an argument, and I don't think it's needed,
different rules to different task it all that is needed, the problem so to speak is that 68k programs,
pass arguments using pointers from whit inn the program it self, static vars etc, and not from shared memmory, inn system using isolated memory you can not pass pointers from an read only area, this will force an mmu hit,
We do not won't a fake exec to duplicate arguments and memory areas before passing it on to real execSG, that slow, and it will make every thing use twice the amount of CPU time,
Some one will argue that they have implemented the perfect box, and that they do not pass/duplicate arguments between the core kernel and the fake kernel, all the fake kernel is do all the memory allocation and reassure management by it self, if that is the case how the hell is your system able to communicate whit the other boxes,
2nd hint: the number of layers does say almost nothing about the overall efficenty,
WindowsXP, MacOSX, nice preforming OS, NOT.
WindowsXP = DOS + Win3.1 + WinMe + WinNT + Java + VB
MacOSX = OS8.0 + OS9.0 + Alian kernel + Java
MoprhOS = Quark + ABOX + (QBOX inn development)
AmigaOS4.0 = ExecSG + (68k task emulation)
AmigaOS4.x = ExecSG + "68k BOX"
AROS = AROS
Every task takes up CPU time, every driver takes up CPU time, every Box takes up CPU time.
only the quality of those layers does
If the box is resident, it takes up CPU time,
nd you can have a completly f***ed up OS by just trying to mix to many ideas and concepts into the only layer you got.
just like A/BOX contains 68k + PUP + WUP support.
yes it's hard and difficult task to make a system run on task emulation bases, given they you most be able to expand on the old, whit out braking an egg or tow, some times it's worth breaking an egg inn the process, |
