Former Amiga Inc. VP Sales is that a good or bad thing? Semi good Gateway kept all of the chips So they got a name and an OS so basically gateway got the legs and bill got the arms and they just started pulling? ;) Yup too bad Maybe, maybe not My hardware needs an OS and a name BuenOS 10:30am Hrm? tis the finest OS that WILL grace god's green earth :) Uh huh * Downix/#tunes has heard that before hehehe i bet it will be here before TUNES TUNES's goals do not dovetail with mine a cross-executable platform is not what I need no kernel? Did not say that BuenOS will be no kernel i hope but purposefully abstracting the software so that it'll run anywhere, while a nobile goal, will harm performance oh like byte code? Right bah i don't think cpus are fast enough to be ready for it yet I think CPU's are not the key to performance as in the amiga? As in any platform a CPU w/o a fast enough I/O is crippled Hi-Torro realized this when they made Amiga i mean specialized processors Yes, as in that specialized processors for I/O and other necessary work will make any CPU seem faster, just because of the reduced latency 10:40am Anyways My company just got an option to use Alpha over MIPS excellent :) Which would not take any time to instigate a change, they are similar enough as/is Of course being Alpha we'd get a HUGE speed benefit 10:50am But we'd loose some of our cross-platform benefit However, i OWN an Alpha to develop with already hehe ... But let's see how hard it is to licence Alpha uh oh Well, since Compaq's no longer in control of Alpha, I may be able to 11:00am Let's see how licencing goes With MIPS it's a pain let's hope alpha is easier me too so i can profit from your ideas ;) hehe, yup Emailing an inquiry now 11:10am hmm Can't find an address to mail them call em On the 31st of December? i see I'll try on monday 11:30am -:- phoe [www.spedia@host62-172-219-71.btinternet.com] has joined #tunes Hey phoe hiya m8 Welcome to where I talk about Eddas the most and who`s eddas ? Eddas is the chipset's code-name ahh So Phoe, welcome to the tunes project wouldn`t it be faster to adopt a `working` os with gui at this stage ? No although I realise that could cause probs with some things Well, faster development, but not faster OS that`s kinda what I was aiming towards... at least keeping it `in house` you can customise the way it`s orientated, dir structure etc * Downix/#tunes nods Actually we're out-sourcing for the OS and if the gui system is simple and relatively open ended, it could be customised easily a la Amiga since the OS we're planning on is being developed by core (his nick on here) for his company He says it will be Amiga-like are you using any sort of basis for the dir structure ? the core OS is already Amiga-like ie. the best and most simple to manage i`ve ever seen is the... Amiga... Right now we're using FAT, but that's due to it's simplicity in implimenting We'll make a better file structure in time the actual IO processes can be altered probably very easily * Downix/#tunes nods I mean the actual `layout` for storing the files used by the OS BTW, anything you say here is logged should I be worried yet ? ;-) Well, the file system used is to be a plug-in library anyways Nah Right now I'm testing Clementine on my PC tho it's primitive, but a lot of potential the mig uses what are essentially a collection of replaceable libs, and it makes it very easy to update, allowing backwards compatibility and future development But I have other options, people keep pitching OS ideas at me * Downix/#tunes nods, exactly * phoe/#tunes isn`t keen on the idea that a lib under unix can clash with an older lib used by other progs you may need * Downix/#tunes is not either Clementine is Amiga-like in many ways I've found through testing it 11:50am at the end of the day, simplicity is usually more elegant and updatable long-term, as well as often being more efficient * Downix/#tunes nods Which is the point behind my hardware Downix: guess i`d better start learning C huh :-} Nah I'm designing the simulator in LISP I decided Easier to program than C what are the odds of the coder giving up on the project leaving it high and dry ? ie. if work commitments get in the way Quite likelyt that`s another area I can envisage problems Oh, you ment in Clementine yeah clem... No, his company is making it, he will not ahhhh who`s he work for ? suntech http://www.suntech.fr doh a frenchie we english hate the french... Why? they blockade ports set fire to trucks uh, ok he just codes an OS i`ll let him off them then lol BTW, if JokerD dead? is I mean I think so yeah I never did backup his website... someone else did tho I think ok Oh well Right now I'm pondering the I/O system I finally finished sound how are you going to work it ? external add ons, or internal handling ? both USB and Firewire internally with a local bus slot (very primitive one) to expand it externally 12:00pm so how is it going to work ? onboard cpu to handle basic, say 16 bit sound, external for anything more ? Plus expantion off of the major sections of the chipset (audio/video) for other purposes what are you looking at now for the video side of things ? onboard CPU, 24-bit sound, 48-bit video output, basic 3D system 48-bit input/output for video based on existing video hardware, or developing new h/w ? New h/w I know you were looking (under linux) to do 1920*whatever and emulate "downwards" in s/ware We've made a much more elegant idea now variable screen sizes controlled through software well m8, if I win a million in the lottery tonight, you`ve got some funding :-) hehe, sure We shifted a lot of things off of the internal chipset to an external ASIC like the D to A conversion for the audio right, it`s getting late(ish) here now, and me and the missus promised to spend some time together Alright, see you around so i`m best heading off for a bit * Downix/#tunes waves happy new year :-) you too bye :D see you in the next millenium I guess (assuming you count this year, and not next as the start of it...) * Downix/#tunes nods cyaaaaaaa ! ok -:- phoe [www.spedia@host62-172-219-71.btinternet.com] has left #tunes [] 12:10pm in like two hours fufie will be in y2k 12:20pm -:- _BC [dontcha@ptai01m01-29.bctel.ca] has joined #tunes -:- eihrul [lee@usr5-ppp219.lvdi.net] has joined #tunes eihrul, can you help me? * fire/#tunes bows to the insane one 12:30pm Downix: with? eihrul: I found out that Compaq's given control of the Alpha CPU to another company, for licencing et all, can't find out what that companies name is Alpha would be a good replacement for MIPS in my system design, possibly * eihrul/#tunes seems to remember something weird like alpha, inc. I found an Alpha Processor, Inc but that seems to be producing chips and mobo's I emailed them anyways, to ask http://www.alpha-processor.com Ok, I got the lowdown they sell chips not the design dammit * Downix/#tunes was hopeful MIPS is a pain to licence 12:40pm Ahh well, it's what we can do Unless a better solution shows up, MIPS is the best * Downix/#tunes was hopeful for a better solution I always am 12:50pm Whoah, I'm a score 2 on /. now! go me! 2 isn't saying much Well, better than my 1 before I'm "interesting" you have to annoy a moderator for making an intelligent post and get moderated down to 0 s/for/by why? * eihrul/#tunes shrugs. * Downix/#tunes can't believe that he is "insightful" read my comment? are you?
