Re: AmigaOS 3.2
#52I can't keep track anymore. Is this a successor to 3.1.4 that came out not long ago, or something different?
Yes, here's the timeline to clarify: Kickstart 1.0 - 3.1: By Commodore. Actually 3.0 was "officially" last but 3.1 was ongoing work that got wrapped up well enough. I don't really remember if Commodore officially released 3.1 or if it was picked up from their corpse by someone. HAAGE & PARTNER BRANCH: AmigaOS 3.5-3.9: First post-3.1 versions from 1999-2000 (for Motorola 68020 and up rather than 68000 and up) by Haage…
A "timeline" with almost no dates.

We have FPGA implementations of the Amiga nowadays; these are basically identical to the original hardware. It's quite amazing, I can highly recommend checking them out: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki
I didn't see on the github page whether there's an Agnus, Denise, and Paula?
Only in FPGA. No original chips.

#54How many 68K Amiga's still working exist today ???. I don't get it.
Still have my Amiga 1200 (expanded with 68040+MMU, RAM, VGA adaptor card which I can use to plug into one of my LCD monitors, plus some stuff I've probably forgotten) and I'm sure if I powered it up again it'd still work.
Powered it up a few years ago and it worked fine.
Re: AmigaOS 3.2
#55Vaguely related: approximately 20 years ago I hosted "The Amiga Alternative Audio Page". Every time I migrate my blog to a new platform -- which is often because I like to tinker with it -- I figure this is the time I'll finally kill that page forever. And then my web logs fill with 404s and I bring it back from the dead because I don't have the heart to kill old Amiga software. So, https://honeypot.net/post/the-amig…
Please keep it, I'm going to get an Amiga as soon as I can afford to buy a place do I have somewhere to put it :)
I’ve kept it this long. I’ll keep it around a little longer, but just for you specifically. :-)

Re: AmigaOS 3.2
#57The most extraordinary thing here is not only it’s being done, but it’s being done in a proprietary way.
The surface of the AmigaOS is tiny in comparison with any modern system. It’s surprising nobody took a free RTOS and built an Amiga API on top of it, enough to fool Amiga software into being compiled for modern hardware and run directly on real Amigas.

I still have a working Amiga 500 at my parents' house in Germany.
Your parents might be alright, but I've heard a lot of horror stories where parents sell, give away or trash people's old computers.
i.e. If you care about it, better keep it close to you.

What you are looking for is this: https://www.amigaforever.com/
Given that kstrauser specified "an easy way to launch a single Amiga app in a window on my Mac," an Amiga emulator that only runs on Windows -- however good it may otherwise be -- is probably not in fact what they're looking for. :) (Edit: I see that Cloanto does have a somewhat cryptic page for macOS, but the way I read it, Macs can only run the open source UAE that I gather Amiga Forever is built on top of. So http…
That’s exactly the one I use, with the ROMs and ADFs from Amiga Forever. Still wish I could double-click a Defender of the Crown icon and be playing it a moment later.

#60I don't get it, can someone explain?
Why would someone release of a modern version of an Amiga operating system for sale on CDROM?
Who would use this?
