- makach 2y agoA video or a screenshot would have been nice

- Aldipower 2y agoYouTube has a lot of videos and screenshots.
- shyrka 2y agoAny links? I can’t seem to find it on YouTube
- actionfromafar 2y agoI think it was a jab. Youtube indeed has a lot of videos. Maybe not of this OS, though. Anyway here is a screenshot: http://www.amiga-news.de/de/news/AN-2024-08-00046-DE.html http://www.amiga-news.de/de/news/AN-2024-08-00046-DE.html
- ape4 2y agoI tried unsuccessfully too. It doesn't help that Serena Williams is a famous tennis player and "amiga" is "friend" (female) in Spanish.
- sbarre 2y agoThis is fascinating. I love the virtual processors dispatch queue concept (new to me) and I think I found my lunch reading for today. I also immediately went to eBay to see how much old Amiga computers cost, and.... Wow, they are pretty much not available? All I could find was parts listings, and the odd "mainboard as-is" for like $1,000 or more... I had no idea Amiga computers from the 90s were so rare now.
- _joel 2y agoThat ship sailed quite some time ago, it seems. At least for OG, unless you want to spend large amounts. I wish I'd kept my 500+ now too.
- icedchai 2y agoTell me about it! I had both an A500 and A3000 in the 90's. I sold both for a pittance...
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoMy mom gave my Amiga 500 away when I was on holidays.
- sbarre 2y agoOof.. I feel that pain, we had an Apple IIe that I taught myself to program on in the 80s, it was basically the genesis of my life and career, and oddly enough kind of a family heirloom for me.. When I left for university in the early 90s, my dad donated it to a local library without even asking me first. To be fair I had never expressed my desired to keep it, it was just in the basement in a box. So it wasn't that big of a deal but I know he feels guilt for that one to this day, once I explained how I felt.
- morning-coffee 2y agoOuch. I feel for you both. I count myself lucky... I still have my IBM PC XT in the basement (runs and my son plays Zork II on it) thanks to my Dad not only shelling out for it in 1983 but hanging on to it over the years. But I empathize for other reasons... my Mom gave away my huge bag of Legos, including all the cool Space stuff, that I wish I still had. ;)
- sgt 2y agoI also have regrets. You know, one time I had a 1084S Commodore monitor - pristine condition. One day it didn't want to turn on, and after a few weeks I just threw it in the trash. So ... incredibly stupid! People like me should get the death penalty.
- cturner 2y agoStefany is not advertising them for sale at the moment, but is still working on a 68040/48060 platform in the background. https://c256foenix.com/a2560x/?v=6cc98ba2045f https://c256foenix.com/a2560x/?v=6cc98ba2045f If you are looking for an audience for your platform, you may want to connect to that community via their Discord. They have some experienced network stack developers.
- rangerelf 2y agoHeh, that made my morning. I was reading the specs on the cube and grinning like a fool. Thanks for sharing this.

- Ericson2314 2y agoThe Windows-based build instructions are...interesting.
- doener 2y ago"The most important difference is that Serena OS is far closer to the POSIX standard in terms of functionality and behavior than the original Amiga OS was. This is most noticeable (from the viewpoint of an app developer) in the sense that Serena OS does full resource tracking. This means that the OS automatically reclaims resources such as memory when an application terminates." https://amiga-news.de/en/news/AN-2024-08-00046-EN.html https://amiga-news.de/en/news/AN-2024-08-00046-EN.html
