	mozdev.org - mozamiga: index
		Amiga programs to a virtual processor code now, and they have a VP to C++ compiler, so this port actually may be really, really fast, and once it's done I have no doubt it will perform the best of the Mozilla breed.
		Amiga recently announced that they would port the Amiga OS to the PowerPC for Amiga OS 4.0, to be released in late summer this year, with later releases to follow, leading up to 5.0, which will include memory protection and the full implementation of the AmigaDE.
		Amiga SDK for either Linux or Windows to be able to help with the port to the AmigaDE.

	AGM Journal -- May 2000
		To this end, at Amiga 2000 and in the intervening period since, we have seen overtures to the factions in the existing Amiga community: Haage and Partner (the PPC Amiga and original OS factions) and the Phoenix developers group (the QNX faction).
		Amiga is working together with their dealers to make the Amiga 1200 retail for less than $200.
		McEwen stated that Amiga is working very closely with MetaBox to produce the new AmiJoe PPC accelerator for the A1200, and that this accelerator was assured of being able to run the new OS.

	Open Source AmigaOS?
		AmigaOS 5+ is the future of the Amiga, and Amiga Inc. has every right to work on this development line on their own and for financial gain - that is only fair.
		Tribute goes to Squid's Amiga Page and Rumour Mill, a fine and well-recommended piece of Amiga writing, for recently highlighting the fact that open source doesn't necessarily equate to free and publicly available.
		The educational market (and I'm casting a nod here to MINIX, the OS that inspired a certain computer science student to write something called Linux) could be supplied with a cheap version of AmigaOS for classroom study (preferably bundled with a solid text book).

	AmigaOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On the first Amiga model, the A1000, this was loaded from disk into a special section of memory called the writable control store (WCS), although eventually the Kickstart was embedded in a ROM chip inside the computer.
		The Amiga OS had support for the Rexx language.
		It was called ARexx (short for "Amiga Rexx") and was a script language which allowed for full OS scripting, similar to AppleScript, intra-application scripting, similar to VBA in Microsoft Office, as well as inter-program communication.

	Tech Head Stories
		Amiga will be the common consumer application layer for 26 different versions of Linux.
		If the Amiga is to be a living computer platform and not a retro-computing hobbyist toy, the platform is going to be changing no matter who is in charge.
		The series of New Amiga moves are important steps in reestablishing the Amiga as the computer of choice for the leading edge/imaginative user.

	AmigaZone - Amiga Forever Special Price Offer
		Amiga Forever contains state of the art software to satisfy two major needs of many Amiga users: to use their existing Amiga software and data on non-Amiga hardware, and to share data between Amiga and other systems.
		The Amiga ROM and OS files can be used by any implementation of the Amiga emulators, including for example Unix/Linux (UAE comes with source code), Be, PowerMac, etc. These emulators are constantly updated, and can be downloaded from the sites listed in the Home Pages section of the navigation bar.
		The Amiga software and documentation included in Amiga Forever are completely independent from both the networking and the emulation components, and can be accessed on an Amiga computer, or from the emulation environment.

	Amiga Operating System
		Amiga OS4, which has essentially taken the old 3.x source code, ported it to the PowerPC processor, and added as many modern OS features as possible.
		As to the lack of memory protection in the Amiga OS - yes it is a problem, but surprisingly many Amiga users report they find it far more stable than a Windows system (especially prior to Windows XP).
		The design of the OS was amazingly advanced for the 1985-1994 era it occupied, so that it is still quite compelling even today (hence the number of clone OSes), but people also ought to consider alternatives - such as BeOs, which is purportedly a "spiritual successor" to the Amiga OS as far as design goes.

	Amiga Players: 1999 and onwards
		The announcement that Gateway-Amiga were abandoning the Classic market had an electrifying effect upon the Amiga community: some believed that this was the end of the Amiga, some accepted the announcement with a shrug of acceptance, and some attempted to take the Amiga's development into their own hands.
		This resulted in the mobilization of several political orientated organizations whose goal was to provide a road map for the Amiga that would allow it to continue its evolution during the 21st century.
		While the Amino purchase was good for the Amiga, it had swept aside the good work done by COSA and had invalidated the main goals of the organization.

	RCDRUMMOND.NET: E-UAE
		This is a version of UAE, the Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator, with an emulation core largely based on WinUAE.
		OS X requires either LibSDL or an X server for graphics output, but native graphics are supported on AmigaOS and BeOS, although, at the moment, SDL is also preferred on BeOS since the native driver is incomplete.
		Cloanto released today Amiga Forever 2005, the official Amiga emulation, OS, connectivity, history and support suite, now featuring 20 GB of software, data and videos to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Amiga computer.

	Amiga Research Operating System
		The Amiga OS was, and has always been, closed-source, preventing anyone updating the OS.
		Several small groups' of Amiga users on the internet coordinated their efforts to create an open-source Amiga operating system that was not controlled by a incompetent, restrictive parent company.
		However, bitter flame wars on the feasibility of such an OS tore the project apart and the dream of an open-source Amiga OS disappeared.

	[No title]
		The new company was called Amiga, Inc., the same name as the original group headed by Jay Miner that had started the computer company in 1982 before Commodore bought them out.
		A new OS based on QNX, then Linux, as well as a Java-like "Amiga Anywhere" development environment or AmigaDE were proposed.
		They had a falling-out with the moribund Amiga Inc., merged with Thendic to became Genesi, and decided instead to produce both the hardware and an "Amiga-like" OS themselves.

	AmigaOS 3.5
		When the Amiga was first introduced in 1985 it was far ahead of it's time with features such as multiple resolution high-color graphics, stereo sound, and pre-emptive multitasking that made it a great machine for multimedia applications and gaming.
		These screen shots were taken with WinUAE, an Amiga emulator for the PC running AmigaOS 3.5.
		They don't really do the Amiga justice as the Amiga was much more than just a Mac-like GUI.

	Amiga OS 4 at ANT
		With the number of Amiga OS 4 On Tour show happening across Europe in the last few months many UK users were feeling left out with no AmigaOS 4 demonstration near them.
		The initial OS 4 screen looked much like any Amiga Workbench but with a subtle gradient on the title bar and a new-look AmiDock with semi-transparent background along the bottom of the screen.
		Mick estimated the speed to be similar to an '040 classic Amiga (bear in mind this is without JIT 68K emulator and with the OS in an alpha state) and was certainly very usable.

	Amiga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Amiga was not limited to solely the 68k CPU architecture; it was also possible to install a PPC coprocessor that could be used by PPC aware software and libraries.
		The Amiga is able to emulate other computer platforms which were in its same price range, or even far more expensive most notably the IBM PC, the Apple Macintosh and the Atari ST. There are also emulators available for many 8 bit systems such as the Commodore 64, Apple II and even the TRS-80.
		The Amiga is still in use in United States and Australian government agencies for topographical and GPS-integrated cartographical systems.

	The AmigaMCCC News -- May 2001
		Whilst Amiga Inc. are getting all the details of OS4/5 up on their own website I thought it might be useful to give my own views as to where we are, where we are going and why the St Louis announcement was so pivotal to the future of the Amiga.
		At this stage the Amiga DE will also be ported to the Amiga OS so that the AmigaOne can be used as a development/porting platform for Amiga DE content (as a more familiar alternative to the currently available Windows/Linux development environments).
		Finally, one of the most significant parts of the announcement is that Amiga Inc. have decided -- quite properly in my view -- to take their ownership of the Amiga OS seriously.

	Amiga Flame - News - Amiga OS 4.0 Contract Signed
		EyeTech revealed earlier in the week that the delivery of OS 4.0 was behind due to the economic problems experienced in the technology sector and the fact that Amiga Inc's priorities were and still are on the Amiga DE.
		Fleecy Moss, CTO of Amiga Inc explained that “Amiga is in control of OS 4.0 - we have merely outsourced the project management”.
		This will allow the development of OS 4.0 to be intensified over the coming months and according to Hyperion Entertainment more features will be added.

		Some of you have expressed some misgivings about the lack of progress reports on OS 4.0 development but I hope I can count on your understanding as all of us have been extremely busy, even through the holiday season, to bring you what is unquestionably the most ambitious OS upgrade since Amiga OS 3.0.
		We intend for OS 4.0 to be disk-based or at least partly disk-based and partly flashrom based even for current Amiga's.
		As we have taken on more work (Intuition etc.) and folded some of the functionality originally planned for OS 4.2 into OS 4.0, this inevitably means the original February release-date might slip somewhat but all in all we believe that the end-result will be technologically more satisfying.
