Information About

Amiga Research Operating System




Amiga Research Operating System ('''AROS''') is an Open Source implementation of the AmigaOS 3.1 API s. Designed to be portable and flexible, Port s are currently available for X86 and PowerPC based PC s in Native and hosted ''flavours'', with other architectures in development.


CURRENT STATUS

The project, started in 1997 , and has over the years become an almost "feature complete" implementation of AmigaOS - with currently (as of March 2006) only a few lacking areas of functionality. This was achieved by the efforts of a small team of developers.

While the OS is still lacking in applications, a few have been ported, including E UAE , an emulation program that allows 68k-native applications to run in the same way such legacy programs are run on AmigaOS 4.0 and a few AROS specific ones written.
