I'm looking for additional front page and/or comments moderator(s), initially just for the month of August. If you are (mostly) impartial towards the various companies, have a few minutes to spare every day, and are interested in helping out, please send me an email to further discuss this.

MOTD 26/Jul/2004 : Comment 65 of 82 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Sammy Nordström on 01-Aug-2004 22:52 GMT | In reply to Comment 64 (brotheris): > but actualy it turns your x86 box into Amiga.
Nope. The x86 processor is not "turned into" a 68k processor and the PC is not turned into an Amiga. I'm going to say it again; Linux is the operating system, the emulator is running as an application, and the AmigaOS is running on the virtual hardware environment of the emulator.
You keep repeating that Amithlon on a PC is running the official AmigaOS and therefore it's an Amiga, like it would somehow change the fact that it's not running natively on the hardware. You see, an OS have to run natively on the hardware in order to operate it. If you run an OS in an emulator, it's the OS running the emulator that is operating the hardware, not the one running on the emulator. AmigaOS running ontop of an emulator makes the the virtual hardware environment of the emulator an Amiga, not the real hardware nor the underlying OS.
Please stop intentionally mixing up the virtual hardware environment from the actual hardware and OS of an Amithlon system. I don't think anyone of us is that confused about what is what, don't you agree? |
