Glad you're enjoying testing out AROS.

I think the old A600 was just a 7 MHz 68000 - I remember being really disappointed that it was no great improvement on the A500+, but then the A1200 came along with all those new developments. Anyway, one thing the A600 did have was a very neat design and I hope at some point to come across a non-functional A600 to put a small MB into running AROS. A Pi would be ideal, and hopefully it will run AROS natively one day.

Definitely try the full Icaros - there's a lot more to play with.

Cheers,
Nigel.

Hello and Welcome,

I hope you will enjoy your stay here. If you have questions about usage or developers just ask them on the forums and someone from the community will assist you.

Just popped in to say "great work", guys. I am typing this message from Icarus Lite 203 on an ASUS VivoPC using a pen drive as a Hard Drive.

I used to have an Amiga 600 from 1993, if memory serves. 14MHz processor, was it? I upgraded the innards with a Hard Drive. I think it was 120Mb in size. I had a Canon dot matrix printer attached to it. Ah, the nostalgia.

I contributed one program to Aminet in about 1995. In 2005, I actually updated the package for AROS.

So here we are, 10 years on again. It almost feels like if I should check that the program recompiles.

AROS does feel quite lightweight.

Maybe I'll download the full version and try to install it to my hard drive.

I noticed that there was a version of AROS for the Raspberry Pi, but it seemed quite old, and was commercial. Pity, because the Pi seems almost a perfect platform for this kind of project.

Best of luck.
