#AAA runs NT?
5 messages in this thread
If the next Amiga multitasks Windows NT with AmigaDOS, why, I'll eat
a Bill & Melinda Gates wedding picture.
The head of Commodore UK is either incredibly technically uninformed,
being fed misinformation by his subordinates, or he just likes having
fun with the press. I've seen some really wacky claims from him that
nobody in Commodore's development department seems to know anything
about…
I can see Commodore releasing an Amiga that runs NT and/or AmigaDOS,
but I doubt you'll see them running together.
OK, I'm not going to hold my breath… (Ah, there goes my fun). But it
would be really fun to see that actually happening. It would have
given me tons of nerdy pleasures showing it around (as I do now with
the Emplant).
By the way, since you are Denny Atkin, could you tell me what you had
in mind when you mentioned a program that enables 60ns access on the
A4000? Has it appeared yet? The thing is mentioned in your book,
"Best Amiga Tips and Secrets" p.189.

Hiroo, Sure! Commodore never released a program to enable the 60ns
access mode, but someone else did. SpeedRamsey 1.2a by Holger Lubitz
will enable the 60ns access mode in the A4000, giving you a nice
little speedup. Note, though, that this REALLY does require 60ns
RAMs. I tried it in my A4000 with just 70ns RAMs in it, and it worked
for a while — and benchmarked quicker (can't remember exactly how
fast) — but it would eventually crash with a red screen. Hope you
liked the book!
YES!! I liked your book very much! Since I'm still an Amiga novice, your book
really taught me a lot of tricks. Thanks.
I really liked the bit about squeezing the cheeze out. Although I still wonder
sometimes whether that was a metaphoric reference to some forbidden trick on
the Amiga… naw, probably not. Or is it?
