Aosolin, a special version of UAE on Linux has been just released.
www.aosolin.org
What is Aosolin ?
Aosolin stands for AmigaOSoverLINux.
By working on aosolin, I try to merge the source of linux UAE 0.8.22, linux UAE 0.8.21/JIT and WINUAE 0.8.22.
The result is not perfect, but I think it is not so bad.
In a near future, I will release some packages to build a custom Linux distribution based on slackware, to boot directly aosolin in few seconds.

i want kicksoft to get off their butts and allow me to order amiga forever 6 CD online, so i can buy the cd version :( their site still refers to AA v5
this is the closest legal thing to amithlon (i won't buy v1 from anyone while the legal status remains unclear) |

BAF is right!! Just as ling as it's based on the original Amiga source code. Of course UAE and Amithlon 'actually' run Amiga OS (TM) code so they are something I'm interested in. Amiga OS 4 is of course just a continuation of the Amiga source code as well so I'm interested in that too.
The reason I'm not too into MorphOS is because it's is "in no way" based on Amiga source code. It's a completely new OS like Linux.
Not into the PegI or II because it is a small time board that has no future, at least not as long as Bill Buck is at the helm.

Posted by Leif on 28-Apr-2004 21:26 GMT | Yeah..
It all begun one day, when the os-developers at commodore
fond a rusty old floppydisk on the floor..
What is this they asked, lets put it in to the pc
and hope that it is in fact full of sourcecode saved
in word format. AND IT WAS. They where amazed by the source
and swore to never give it up, and treasure it forever.
We have NO CLUE how this works but damn, its good.
Later in 1999 (or something like that) Ralph Smidth
felt something under his bare foots.. it was also a rustu
old floppydisk... he was going to set it on fire when
he felt a compelling feeling to stuff it into his
Amiga 1200, IT WAS READALE WITH MORE. This looks like an
operatingsystem he thought, with built in emulation of 68k processors..
cool!
Well, you all know the story from there. |

Actually its completely rewritten, with little or none of the original source code remaining - one of the reasons it took so long.
Guess you'll have to stick with 3.1 so as not to be tainted by evil non-Amiga (TM) code :) |

Posted by Bill "tekmage" Borsari on 29-Apr-2004 04:22 GMT | In reply to Comment 7 (Lando): Um, I don't think every line of code was rewritten. I'm sure much of it is the same except for changes needed to make it PPC, Reaction and bug fixes. Of course I'd imagine that some elements have been completely re-written. There is also the fact that OS 4 developers can legally look at previous version source, even cut and paste :) As for why it's taking so long it cause it's ambitious to re-architected parts of the OS while breaking it of hardware dependance to make it run on new and relatively untested hardware. Apple was pretty conservative when they moved from 68K to PPC back in 1994, I'll bet the overall delta was less.

Pure speculation, i'm afraid. The release notes for quite a few modules go back to OS3.x with listings of the bugs fixed and features added to the original code.

for a simple reason : both OS4 and MOS run Amiga programs, are not emulators, contain an enhanced AmigaOS API, are made by long term amiga developers for long term amiga users... The way both will evolve is gonna differ... But this is in no way related to the faithfulness to the original OS 3.X sourcecode (which is very old and has tons of flaws). Both projets are exciting.
So let's stop the war, and enjoy the fact that we have the possibility to make a choice :) No sense taking camps as we do. |

>both OS4 and MOS run Amiga programs,
That depends on what you mean by "run" and "Amiga programs". I guess you meant to say that both are capable of running AmigaOS3.x applications through 68k emulation. When it comes to AmigaOS4.x applications, only AmigaOS4 is capable of running them.
>are not emulators,
While AmigaOS4 is atleast capable of running modern AmigaOS4 applications natively, MorphOS will not run *any* Amiga applications without emulation.
>contain an enhanced AmigaOS API,
MorphOS has no "enhanced AmigaOS API". It's entirely new APIs with AmigaOS3.x compatibility through reverse engineering for giving their users a more convinient transition from the classic Amiga to their new computer platform. Implementing AmigaOS3.1 comptibility in Windows' API would not make the Windows API an "enhanced AmigaOS API".
>are made by long term amiga developers for long term amiga users...
That depends on what you mean by "amiga developers". Surely you're not saying that anyone involved in the MorphOS project has worked on the original AmigaOS and/or has had access to the original AmigaOS sources? |

MorphOS has no "enhanced AmigaOS API". It's entirely new APIs with AmigaOS3.x compatibility through reverse engineering
It has enhanced AmigaOS API, becouse ABOX is AmigaOS reimplementation and it is enhanced by new functions. You want to tell me that only name holders can create same APIs ? Mind you QBOX api isn't public and you can't compare QBOX with OS4.
That depends on what you mean by "amiga developers"
So you're saying that developer can call himself "Amiga developer" only if he worked on 'original' AmigaOS sources ? You're so funny. Yes yes, you are. Please go on. |

A replicate does not an original make. Reimplementation? How could something possibly be reimplemented before it was implemented?

No. Again, it all depends on how you define an Amiga developer. It's easy to interpret Amiga developer as an AmigaOS developer when the context is about the OS rather than the applications. However, that was is just one way of interpreting an abstract concept such as "Amiga developer" and I didn't say that this would be the only way of interpreting it. |

Yeah, right. Go and ask GPSoftware.

Yes, but replicant looks the same to application. Only user with 'high morale' follows 'true' path.

And difference in this context is ... ? Yep, there's none. Developers for long time doing such lowlevel stuff as ppc library, cgx, drivers, etc. They know OS inside out. But guess what, there is no reason to follow people or names (which is quite common), you follow products, even existing ones. |

Sorry about that. The correct word should have been "possess" rather than "owns". Even better; Hyperion has an arrangement with GPSoftware whereby Hyperion are able to continue the development of Directory Opus for OS4.0. Happy?

No. MorphOS applications won't run in AmigaOS4 and AmigaOS4 applications won't run in MorphOS. Even if they have AmigaOS3.x compatibility as their common denominator, we're still talking about different APIs that are not compatible with each other nor looks the same to the application.

I don't "follow" anything nor am I the one beeing offended when someone states that the Amiga is a brand for a commercial product rather than everything that complies with a certain philosophy. |

I'm not picking on words. This 'agreement' is old and iirc a contract was never signed. Go ask GPSoftware now what they think about that 'agreement'. Remember that way back GPSoftware complained that Hyperion didn't hold their part of the deal and after bit of silence later everything went quiet. Dopus5 was forgoten. Maybe in the future it will be remembered ;-)
No. MorphOS applications won't run in AmigaOS4 and AmigaOS4 applications won't run in MorphOS
Well, do'h. But we are talking about compatibilities in API, it is perfectly possible to create compatible apps (3.1 API and 68k).
we're still talking about different APIs that are not compatible with each other nor looks the same to the application
You've read MOS and OS4 SDKs and know the differencies ? Please do tell us about them (and no, I'm not telling that future enhancements on ABOX, i.e. past 3.1 APIs are same as with OS4).
when someone states that the Amiga is a brand for a commercial product
It is a brand, but there is more to it, because brand does not make a good/working product alone.
everything that complies with a certain philosophy
There is Amiga-way of doing things.

What do you mean by modern application ?
The same source code compiled for OS4 is modern while if it's compiled for AmigaOS 68k or MorphOS it's obsolete ?
No sense here
If you speak about memory protection, the OS4 team alredy confess that it will be limited to what is possible like the MorphOS do since the beginning.
>>contain an enhanced AmigaOS API,
>MorphOS has no "enhanced AmigaOS API". It's entirely new APIs with AmigaOS3.x compatibility through reverse engineering for giving their users a more convinient transition from the classic Amiga to their new computer platform. Implementing AmigaOS3.1 comptibility in Windows' API would not make the Windows API an "enhanced AmigaOS API".
MorphOS as a "low level" kernel : Quark (named it like you want) which has nothing to do with the AmigaOS. However, the "top layer" (A-Box) is fully AmigaOS 68k compatible and it also has been extended (Intuition, DT, Exec ...).
>>are made by long term amiga developers for long term amiga users...
>That depends on what you mean by "amiga developers". Surely you're not saying that anyone involved in the MorphOS project has worked on the original AmigaOS and/or has had access to the original AmigaOS sources?
Some people involved in MorphOS has a 10/15 years experience in the AmigaOS, and some have made most on the improvement since Commodore death (CGX, PPC, picture.datatype, 24bit ...).
If you think that people are "long term amiga developers" because they ported (not very well) 3/4 games for WarpOS, then you are wrong.

>What do you mean by modern application ?
Don't know, but IMO: Any AOS4 native application is modern Amiga application, kind of.
Any new/improved AOS4 app is even more modern Amiga application, etc...
>The same source code compiled for OS4 is modern while if it's compiled for AmigaOS 68k or MorphOS it's obsolete ?
Application for AOS68k is not modern if it is only re-compiled again. But if it is updated with new features, it would/could be a modern Amiga application. It could be obsolete when it is ran on <100Mhz 68 Amigas, though...
It would be too tight to simply limit modern Amiga application to only those that run on PPC AOS.
If application is compiled for MorphOS, should it not be called a MorphOS application?
Or should every MorphOS application be called Amiga applications because they can be run on PPC equipped Classic Amigas? Even though it might be totally incompatible with AmigaOS?
Any new MOS app is MOS application. But if it is compiled also for AOS 68k, would it be Amiga application again...
I think all apps compiled to AmigaOSx.x APIs should be Amiga applications.
Difficult matter... depends on peronal taste?
Could we say that there are no pegasos applications? ;)
>No sense here
There was some sense there. (If one reads the quoted post literally)
>If you speak about memory protection, the OS4 team alredy confess that it will be limited to what is possible like the MorphOS do since the beginning.
Currently it seems that AOS4 MP is "hair's breadth" ahead of MOS1.4.
If I have understood it correctly ... at somepoint full MP will/could be brought to AOS4 in a way that would not break system friendly AOS4 applications, but 68k AOS3.x applications and "simply recompiled" AOS3.x apps would need to be run in a sandbox. (time will tell how it works out) |

It's the same as with Realsoft3D and SOF I guess. Waiting of AOS4 release and/or more resources.

>Well, do'h. But we are talking about compatibilities in API, it is perfectly possible to create compatible apps (3.1 API and 68k).
But then they could only use the AOS features from the 90's.... how cool is that?
I think that in the future we most likely see that most of the AOS4.x compatibility is always somehow wrapped to MOS&Abox while MOS specific stuff are not wrapped to AOS4.x. (especially because I expect AOS4.x apps to gain momentum a little bit faster and because Hyperion seems to have 0% interest on MOS stuff...) But only time will tell, ofcourse. |

Sound a lit bit too much like the MorphOS Q/Box to me
Oh yes, I forgot that they decided to copy MorphOS's "way to solve amiga specific problem" again ... |

Gettting back ONTOPIC!
Isn´t the whole idea behind this "an opensource AF6.0 alternative"?
he said that he will cooperate with Drummond on LinuxUAE so no duplication there
>Surely a better idea would be to get the AROS 68K Amiga port running in UAE, so >that UAE can run without the need for a Real Amioga ROM.
Or AROS with ArosUAE as a AF6.0 and Asolin alternative:-)
Then AROS would pickup speed.
Does the serial port and sound(if hosted) work in AROSUAE?
Could i host AROS on Knoppix? |

Posted by mark on 29-Apr-2004 19:57 GMT | In reply to Comment 20 (Sammy Nordström): MorphOS won't run AmigaOS 4 programs, but will AmigaOS 4 run MorphOS programs?
The issue is that both products are compatible and similar to what the Amiga platform is currently, not that both products will be compatible and similar to whatever AmigaTM OS might become in future.
The former is relevant to anyone still interested in the Amiga platform. The latter will only be relevant to people who decide that OS4 turns out better than MorphOS. So effectively you are saying that people who prefer OS4 in future would be better off with OS4. Well, duh. |

Posted by Sammy Nordström on 30-Apr-2004 04:26 GMT | In reply to Comment 48 (brotheris): But you obviusly didn't. What you should read, for example, is the article I posted. There were some issues regarding the agreement between GPSoft and Hyperion, but that was solved and the contract was reinstated. |
