The problem is it uses the installed roms for booting (on V4 normally aros roms) that detect the partitions and start the OS. I think you guys do not understand the problem. I dont see Amikit and ApolloOS as mutually eliminating each one - in fact, I would love to use both. It just wasnt ready for AROS ROM as its rarely used. Maybe only comparable product out there is Amiga Forever package, but kind of gives more games less advanced OS.
#AMIGA OS 3.9 DRAWBACKS HOW TO#
It works with OS 3.5, I use OS 3.5 as base as I have it from old daysĪ) To get LZX archive of AmiKit Vampire and request step by step manual how to partition from Apollo team, and then you could install AmiKit manually OR for Apollo team to send detailed info how FAT partition could be set up, so Jan can prepare your card as neededī) To flash your V4 with AmigaOS compatible ROM where you might loose option to boot ApolloOS (or not? This needs to be confirmed by Apollo team), if existing as option at allĮither both sides being "insulted brides" (we call it like that in Slavic countries, I am sure there are "two arians in hill" expression in English) does not solve the issue for the users.ĪmiKit was always 101% legal and kind of longest one in preserving AmigaOS heritage and updating it, so I have soft spot to it.
#AMIGA OS 3.9 DRAWBACKS PATCH#
Provided that, of course, I am allowed to work on the environment (or a part of thereof) that has been enabled for the regular users, which in turn, allows to have the patch delivered. I have 2 weeks off starting next Tuesday (except for Christmas) and upon my skills, I would definitely contribute to make AmiKit work under recent V4SA conditions!! Maybe a community effort would do here and resolve this issue?
#AMIGA OS 3.9 DRAWBACKS SOFTWARE#
Looking into it more, it seems that Amikit and Apollo are at 'odds' because the V4SA is now moving on using non AmigaOS ROMs/OS to avoid any legal/copyright issues, which has put the Amikit guy in a sticky situation now.Īmikit is compareable to a linux distro and a big collection of amiga software patches based on 3.1 roms and using 3.9 (cannot remember if also 3.5) for the OS parts In my eyes, more options to Vampire users, the merrier, be it AmigaOS 3.9/3.1.4 clean and then upgraded, free and to be most optimized ApolloOS, or jamapacked distros like AmiKit and Coffin. High price of Vampire version is justified by long testing and inclusion of Vampire related software.
#AMIGA OS 3.9 DRAWBACKS DRIVERS#
SAGA drivers support to AmigaOS continues, for those of this choices. It can be seen as competition to Coffin, but Coffin seems to be retired for legal reasons, so all Apollo team efforts are onto enhancing ApolloOS - advanced AROS distro, tailored to be only fully optimized for Vamps. Jan (author) owns V4, but claims was not informed at time needed. Version for V4 works with non AROS ROM, since it was never prepared to use such.
#AMIGA OS 3.9 DRAWBACKS PC#
Same distro was built for V2 and V4, quite highly priced but I really like it and own a PC version too. Until Vampire came along, it was not possible to use it on classical hardware. It has longest tradition of collecting and updating AmigaOS, so its now in its 11th incarnation, with version 8 available for free. Installation is simlified to the max, and it includes some extras rarely available.

In short: Its largets collection of AmigaOS expansions that was aimed first at emulation since it was supposed to offer true colour themes and icons, and most advanced and updated legal software, since day one.ĪmigaOS and ROMs are not included because of Amigaworld mambo jumbo, but most of past Amiga users have that and purchase of these with AmiKit from retailers enabled fully usable distro in lets say Linux style of providing many usefull tools that did not came with barebone AmigaOS. So without the real hardware option (except for Vampire), it just looks like direct competition for Coffin/ApolloOS (which are free). But there is no option for 'real' hardware(!?)

I would much rather have preferred something like this in a Windows writeable drive image for a 'real' A500/1200 IDE/SCSI drive, as I have more trouble with the real thing than with WinUAE (which makes it so much easier I can drag/install to a Windows HDD the apps I need fairly easily, change HW, etc). It looks to me like a 'fully loaded' Amiga OS image for either WINUAE or a Vampire v2 that does not include the actual OS/ROMs or an option for imaging onto a HDD on the 'real' classic hardware. Im not really an Amiga OS expert, but Im really not sure what the product is aiming for? I just had a look on the Amikit site, to see what all the arguments are about.
