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 82 of 82 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Sammy Nordström on 03-Aug-2004 16:32 GMT | In reply to Comment 81 (brotheris): Amithlon is not just an emulator. Even if very minimalistic, it does include a Linux based OS that launches the emulator. The emulator is an application and applications needs an OS to run.
But what about those Amiga programs that you could boot from disk without running the workbench, you say? Well, that was thanks to the fact that the core part of the AmigaOS was in the AmigaROM. A PC doesn't have an OS in ROM and therefore you must supply your own OS, or atleast the most essential stuff like a kernel, if you want the application to run without having an OS preinstalled and already running on the hardware. |
