    Did anyone read this on http://osnews.com?

    AROS will be ported to the EFIKA. "Earlier this week John accepted the AROS EFIKA Port Bounty. Said another way, John will port Amiga Research Operating System to the EFIKA." In an email, BBRV also said MorphOS 2.0 is 'coming'. They promised more news on that soon.

    Greetings Tom

    Yes I saw the news about AROS and Efika! Cool effort, hope he makes it all the way! :-)

    A new MorphOS release is what we all are waiting for! :-)
    MorphOS is Amiga done right! :-)
    MorphOS NG will be AROS done right! :-)

    Yeah; if MorphOS 1.5 will be available in 1.5 more weeks then 2.0 will be available in 2.0 more weeks.

    I'll believe it when I see it on the morphos-team.net

    While I like osnews.com, it's a bit ropey reporting if they can only refer to a quote "in an email".

    If the MOS-Team skips the magic 1.5 and jumps to 2.0 directly I'll eat my hat, take a naket bath (or with a Borat style beach wear) in the public fountains of the city and put on a face-mask of George W. Bush and wear it for a couple of days.

    MOS has backwards compatibility with PPC & 68k amiga stuff, while AROS (afaik) doesn't.

    question: what's the point of making aros for efika? Or any other non-x86 machine?

    Isn't aros made to have os3 source compatibility on cheap x86? It doesn't have any new features like os4 and mos have, right?

    So, what's the point? Better give that money into jit integration.
    May the force be with you. Don't let the dark side of PC take over you.

    There was a bounty for anyone to pick, about having AROS running on the Efika. Someone did. That's all. There's no "point", actually. It's only that it can be done.

    AFAIK there are people who will develop AROS and/or make their
    programs for this OS, but only if AROS runs on PPC. Besides redundancy
    is more than welcome here, I think. :)
