installation
Will I be able to install the QNX OS to a directory or something or do I need to set up a separate partition for it?
I I can install it to a separate directory or to a separate partition, will it create a menu where I will be able to choose which OS should be used? (XP or QNX?) |

AmigaXL is a complete waste of space (unless you're already running QNX of course). It's got
only two new features: - You can start QNX applications from your emulated Workbench desktop - Transparent Virtual Memory Is that worth 150 EUR ? I doubt it... Additionally, WinUAE (or LinuxUAE) are much more frequently updated and there are a lot more guys using it (guys that can help out if you encounter problems). As RetroMan already pointed out, Amithlon is completely useless for Retro-gaming, it doesn't emulate the custom chips at all - in other words: no commercial pre-1998 game will run on it. I'd recommend to download Win/LinuxUAE (not much slower than Amithlon) and buy OS 3.9 (or download AIAB). Very compatible, very fast (on fast machines and very cheap (compared to AmigaOS XL). If you're not interested in Retro-gaming, I'd recommend Amithlon. They *do* support their product (not the publisher, but the authors themself, see http://www.amithlon.net). It's very fast and it's the only solution allowing easy Internet/network access, burning CD's, 3D accelleration etc. |
