Poll: What KS would you prefer in a Vampire... Aros or KS3.1
Hi All, subject says it all,
What OS would you prefer in a Vampire, be it a500/a600 or a1200 etc. Please give your thoughts even if you dont own/want a Vampire. |

KS3.1
I am watching the Vampire with great interest. The A500 version interests me most. |

I definitely prefer Amiga OS 3.9 but it would be interesting if one could set up a dual boot with both AmigaOS 3x and AROS. ;-)

I vote AROS. The move from the stagnant OS 3.x to an open source OS needs to be "kickstarted" by including it as the default choice for the Vampire. Then the impetus to keep developing AROS 68k will be there.

I think we would need AROS but 100% backwards compatible

Multiple selectable kickstarts (with 512kB and 1MB MAPROM support). Multiple selectable drive partitions. Multiple selectable FPGA CPU cores. Multiple selectable FPGA chipset cores. Choice is good but this is Gunnar's toy project so you should ask him rather than the public.

But there's no denying that what makes the Vampire a new platform with actual potential to breathe some life into 68k Amigaland is the work done by Gunnar & Co. No need to let the bitterness in your words shine through every time something Gunnar / Apollo-core related turns up. ;-) Life is short, and the typical Development time in Amigaland is counted in decades. Whatever decisions Gunnar has made and whatever his leadership style is, it may not go smoothly with everyone, but the results of his achievements are positive for the Amiga community. |

3.1
But the option to make custom ones or have a 3.1 that includes neat things like updated icon and workbench libraries, cf pcmcia device in ROM, etc. would be awesome. I don't think AROS is mature enough to be put on a product of this category, otherwise I'd choose it, because nothing is better than not having to deal with the copyright assholes who own the Amiga stuff. |

3.1 for use with OS 3.9. But ideally it would be sufficiently compatible to run either.
