How about Embedded planet?

http://www.embeddedplanet.com/

EP40xC, EP440C and EP5200C are all products that OS4 can be ported to, if Hyperion was allowed to do so.

http://www.acube-systems.com/

Has there sam440 waiting for AmigaOS4.

http://www.genesippc.com/

Genesi real strategies are support as many Operating Systems they can for Elfia as possible.

@PR1

Antique did all sort of problems whit his 512Mb ram module, Antique is using my 256Mb ram module now no more crashes in IBrowse, (well I don?t need my 256Mb ram module because my computer is not working anyway), I remember an American dealer talking about specially designed ram for AmigaOne.

Installing E-UAE, as easy copying some where.

The problem is that you need to configure .uaerc depending on what game your playing or and where you installed AmigaOS3.x files on your disk, as well as kickstart rom's.

Shogo: still no go. Freezes as soon as the launcher is displayed. Joerg, can you list your working tooltypes or send me the .info file please?

Demo started on AmigaOS4 update 4, but graphics was horrible, don?t remember if came whit some GRIM?S.

You should any way use more stack on all games and program when on AmigaOS4.

If you get grim messages remember that a program or game doing some thing bad, the only way get game or program working is to ignore the problem then always reboot afterwards, also make shore the installer does not over write your libs:, make backup before installing games or copy back the AmigaOS4 PowerPC versions of the libs afterwards.

AmigaOS4 does not have custom chips for Audio or GFX, so always try disabling sound or switch to AHI settings, try to use Picasso screen mode, that does not help, the game or program need to be fixed, way to many games and programs on the classic contains un-detestable bugs.

AmigaOS4 tries to be an enchantment of AmigaOS3.x and there is not always 100% compatible, you should there for install E-UAE for classic games.

- A new semaphore-type called Mutex that is Forbid-Free. What were the forbid() issues with the old semaphores? I'm not sure how this new Mutex differs in functionality from the old one.

They mostly likely replaced the forbid() whit some kind of spinlock fix, the question is when will se replacement for forbid() in general, we need some kind of way to ask other programs / OS / drivers to stay hell out owner business, when changing or updating list structures in reaction, or some other place in the OS.

It?s a step in the direction of SMP support.

Will be even harder to support AmigaOS3.x when AmigaOS4.x gets UTF-8 support and when very new app start using that.

So I still think we should try to make it possible to use UTF-8 with pre-OS4 applications

UTF8 is detectable to some degree it possible, some program will break, if older program do need UTF8, and they are of use to day, I?m quite shore they be replaced or updated at some time.

Quote:

API would be used by only three new programs per year so it would not be worth the effort to implement it at all...

Well some do like to use IRC and some need it for WEB browsing and E-mail, and some just like preserve there original filenames, then we have Japanese and China and few other countries that do not have support for there symbols.

create UTF-8 keymaps in memory, this would break nearly
every existing shell/console/terminal/KingCON/whatever.

Yes will break KingCon, but so did SnoopDOS.
Console/Shell? will need UTF8 support anyway.

Terminal / whatever? is the problem really.

What you need is legacy API and new style API,
so programs that don?t know of UTF-8 don?t notice it.

Quote:

do you volunteer to create new shells/ consoles/con-handlers etc which can handle ESC[ or UTF-8 escape sequences

Yes, development is a hobby for me not a job, so I even do it for fun, even add the KingCon scrollbar.

I need the source-code of the OS4 con-handler.

OS4 uses explicit charset tags for charsets since years and you suggest we should drop that and try to use UTF-8

Yes becose then you can copy any mixture of language in the string textbox gadget whit caring what is what.

Quote:

autodetection? No, thanks

it bit useless is it not, but lets say you have some text in UTF8 format, the old crappy program doesn?t know its UTF-8, but uses a old class tag for string gadget, the SetAttrsA() won?t make the accident converting the UTF-8 string to UTF-8 string corrupted.

Quote:

The existing tag value for UTF-8 is 106, as specified by
IANA in L:charsets/character-sets.

Well I was reading the sdk:documentations/Autodocs /#?.gc or some thing like that before computer stopped working, did not notice any tags for UTF8 support for reading / setting string attributes the gadgets.

Quote:

Yes and No, we can?t drop legacy can we, but its not possible to persevere Unicode?s in ASCII, the UTF8 most be default format, any program that request ASCII using old tags will get a converted ASCII string from the UTF8 original string, all buffers are freed when classes are disposed off, ASCII buffer is provided when need, a simple zero pointer until UTF8 most converted in ASCII and buffer most be created.

I would not even think about allowing AmigaOS to display
UTF-8 until most parts of AmigaOS are charset aware

Because you and I know big task of adding UTF-8 support in AmigaOS unrealistic to thing that UTF-8 will be added to all corners of the OS, whit having some basic UTF-8 support.

In no way is it appropriate to add UTF-8 support as hack that conflicts whit major parts of the OS, there for UTF-8 most be extended as optional feature that can be added to supported components one by one, some thing that can be used by any thing that supports it, but can not be used by some thing that don?t support it, there for support of UTF-8 starting whit displaying UTF-8 text in simple way, we are not taking about bullet API.

a simple conversion from UTF-8, to the current system default charset is enough to talk
swedish with swedish friends.

Well in that process you?re losing lost of information, better convert 64 bit UTF-8 display the chars directly.

Your option is some what hack if ask me, if like display the text in the right format, first need analyze the UTF-8 data, to detect what language it typed, the switch code page to correct format, as well as convert it 8bit, then you can render the data and switch code page back to your where using, from developers point of view does it?
