amiga-news.de - H&P: AmigaOS XL for x86

15.Sep.2001 H&P: AmigaOS XL for x86
Under the title link you can find the promised details regarding AmigaOS XL, two new Amiga emulators for x86 computers that are offered in a double pack. Here's an exerpt:

AMIthlon - The fastest Amiga ever

Insert the CD-ROM, switch on your PC and boot into the fastest Amiga ever. There is no complicated and boring installation. The development team of Harald Frank (VMC) and Bernd Meyer even implemented native support for nVidia and Matrox graphics cards providing maximum graphics performance. Opening windows on the Workbench is so fast that you can barely watch it anymore.

With AMIthlon you can even use your old Amiga hard-disk in your PC. Simply connect it to your PC, start AMIthlon and that's it.

AmigaXL for QNX - The most functional Amiga ever

The host operating system for AmigaXL is QNX 6.1. It is included in the package. QNX has many similarities with the AmigaOS. It has a micro kernel and the drivers are separate processes. Like devices and handlers in AmigaOS these can be dynamically started and stopped. This makes the system extremely light weight and resource efficient.

Features that QNX provides can directly be used within the emulated Amiga. This includes network functionality and multimedia features. QNX applications like the web browser Opera® can be started directly from the AmigaOS screen. One can say both operating systems work together seamlessly.

System requirements:

Athlon-, Duron, Pentium-, Celeron-CPU with 500 MHz or more. AmigaOS XL supports usual graphic, sound and network cards. A complete list is available on our homepage amigaxl.haage-partner.de or www.amithlon.com.

Availability: The delivery will start about 41st week. (ps) (Translation: wk)
