What happened to p.OS ?

What happened to p.OS ? Searching for something in old amiga magazines I've found the p.OS prerelease test but couldn't find any statement why it was canceled. So were there any reasons published ?

Maybe it was a P.O.S.?

I think I read somewhere that when Amiga wanted to do OS3.5 they did'nt felt there was a market for p.os anymore.

BTW, I would like to test the prerelease P.OS in WinUAE, if anyone had the prerelease CD, please share.

Somebody posted it here eons ago, on my request, but now I lost it

I forgot who it was, but if you are reading this..... can you post it in The zsone again>? I never got to try it in my A1200!!

Thanks for the info, I want to test it, too.

Twistin'Ghost · 28 April 2003, 12:54

Ugh! I have looked my system over, plus all of my CD's, but cannot find these files. Sorry about not coming through...

Added Scans of the Front, Back and Rear of the case (basically everything)

cv643d · 08 May 2003, 23:17

Tried it today. Sad to see that it never became anything more than just a prerelease demo. They must have spent many late nights coding it. All the work for nothing in the end.

Akira · 09 May 2003, 14:50

Don't delete it from your site just yet! I haven't downloaded it... Will do so soon.

Many thanks!

Enverex · 09 May 2003, 14:59

Don't worry, its not going anywhere, about to upload the CD scan too.

Great when you run your own server

(its not like I get heavy traffic

)
