 AmigaOS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amiga, Inc.'s distribution policies for AmigaOS 4.0 and any later versions requires that for third party hardware the OS must be bundled with it, with the sole exception of Amigas with Phase 5 PowerPC accelerator boards, for which the OS will be sold separately.
Starting with AmigaOS 3.5, some of these solutions were bundled with the OS, allowing the use of common hardware cards other than the native chipsets, but don't include any driver solution of their own.
The AmigaOS can make use of any filesystem for which a handler has been written, a possibility that has been exploited by programs like CrossDOS and by a few "alternative" filesystems to the standard OFS and FFS.

 Open Source AmigaOS?
However, versions of AmigaOS prior to the "next generation," the so-called "Classic" AmigaOS releases, are old and soon to be obsolete - apart from licencing to the developers of Amiga Emulators like Amiga Forever, how can Amiga Inc. possibly make any cash or kudos out of these releases?
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.
The seeds of turning AmigaOS into an open source operating system were scattered shortly after the demise of Commodore.

 The Amiga Operating System
In 2001, Amiga, Inc. licensed the development of AmigaOS 4.0 to AmigaOne Partners, collectively Hyperion VOF and Eyetech Group Ltd. Now scheduled for commercial release in early 2005, AmigaOS 4.0 moves the Amiga Operating System to the modern Power PC chips enabling the easy use of off-the-shelf components from third party vendors.
AmigaOS was also the first commercially available operating system to implement pre-emptive multitasking.
Please note, the development of future versions of the Amiga Operating System is not available for third party development or distribution.

 Review: Amiga Forever Premium Edition - OSNews.com
It requires about 30MB of disk space, and it installs the emulators, the AmigaOS Kickstart ROMs, the games, and an update utility, with which you can update the emulators to their latest versions.
Throughout the entire product, Cloanto refers to their version of AmigaOS 3 as '3.x', for the reasons described here (quite complicated).
Also included in the box is a 'boing' decal, which makes it clear to anyone who is interested in operating systems that this computer can run AmigaOS.

 Workbench Nostalgia; history of the AmigaOS GUI: Release 2.0
Even 2.0 was arguably not a beta version, because at the time Commodore had a policy of distributing beta versions, and even gamma versions, only to registered developers.
2.0 and 3.0 both were official release versions, not beta versions.
Holger Kruse posted on comp.sys.amiga.misc on September 11, 1999: " Commodore never bumped version numbers between beta versions and release versions.

 Amiga Auckland AmigaOne
Initially the AmigaOne was released in two versions, the 600MHz G3-based AmigaOneG3-SE, and the 700MHz G4-based AmigaOne-XE, with a third cheaper 700MHz G3-based AmigaOne-XE to be released later.
Subsequent to this, it was then announced that there would be two versions of the Micro, "C" would be the Consumer version and "I" would be the Industrial version, both with reduced specifications from the original announcement and these would become available late in 2004.
In 2001, Amiga, Inc. licensed the development of AmigaOS 4.0 to AmigaOne Partners, collectively Hyperion VOF and Eyetech Group Ltd, who wanted to develop a Power PC based architecture to replace the ageing Classic Amiga, yet still maintain a level of support for applications and games already developed for the 68xxx platform.

 EMU News Service
It features the Fellow and UAE emulators along with fully licensed versions of the AmigaOS (versions 1.3 and 3.0), ROMs and other Amiga software.
Emulators and Roms are clearly infringing and damage not only 'larger industry players' such as Nintendo but hundreds of smaller companies who invest millions of dollars and thousands of hours to develop and program software only to have it stolen on the Internet."
Speaking of emulation, it became strange in the last days, and it turned into a flame war of ROM beggars, pirates, thieves, etc. Those people can ruin everything, especially since I, as emu author, know how much work it costs.

 FreeSCI - Main Page
Note that FreeSCI is not an equal opportunity employer: As decided at the last shareholder meeting, we now derive the fraction between our UNIX, MacOS, Win32, DreamCast, AmigaOS and VMS developers by relative market sizes divided by logarithmic GDPs.
For this reason we pulled the affected releases mentioned above and will not make them available for download again; furthermore, we strongly urge all other FreeSCI users not to distribute the above versions anywhere.
FreeSCI on Win32 is still not as good as it could be: The native DirectDraw driver, presumably much more efficient than the SDL driver currently used, seems close to being useable but is still missing fixes from a person knowledgeable in these matters.

 Guru Meditation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In AmigaOS 1.x, programmed in ROMs known as Kickstart 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, the errors are always red.
The Guru Meditation error was removed from subsequent versions of the Amiga ROM (Kickstart), but some users choose to patch it back in.
It is analogous to the black screen of death and the blue screen of death in other operating systems.

 Commodore: A3000UX
The A3000UX only ever used versions of the A3000 motherboard which contained an 030@25Mhz and a 68882@25Mhz (as opposed to an 030@16Mhz and 68881@16Mhz) and was usually shipped with the Commodore 3070 tape drive and a three button mouse.
The A3000UX is fully capable of running AmigaOS in every way the "normal" A3000 is but was supplied with the special Kickstart 1.4 ROMs that were designed to either boot UNIX or load the real Kickstart from a file.
The A3000UX is essentially the same machine as the standard A3000, however it was labelled A3000UX because it was shipped with an alternative UNIX operating system called Commodore Amiga UNIX, affectionately known as Amix.

 Wired News: Server-Side Scripting, Brother
Rebol will be accessible to most platforms, including AmigaOS, Linux for Intel, Macintosh, Solaris Unix, and all versions of Windows.
Rebol is more accessible, the company says, because it speaks an English-like language, using "expressions" to perform functions that are recognizable for their English-like syntax.
Rebol "puts the programming power and power of computing back in the hands of people who want it -- which is the people that use the computers," said Rebol spokesman Mike Teeling.

On the first Amiga model, the A1000, this was loaded from disk, although eventually the Kickstart was embedded in a ROM chip inside the computer.
Kickstart/Workbench 1.4 was a beta version of the upcoming 2.0 update and never released, but the Kickstart part was shipped in very small quantities with early Amiga 3000 computers, where it is often referred to as the "Superkickstart ROM".
