What exactly do you mean by "remix" for AMOS The Creator?


good point - lol shows my musical background - I chose Remix instead of Reloaded bascially, was just looking for a word...

The 1.3 is a new distribution of the all original discs, but I've done something weird - it's actually 1.2, 1.3 and a bit of EasyAmos, so like mixed together... I did things like keep the original 1.2 logo, backported the EasyAmos extensions and I've added "all" of the original files from all of the discs including the demos and coverdisks - anything that was officially AMOS. plus made a couple of mods and fixes - all the icons are there etc. the folder is ready to copy to an Amiga - I was hoping to finish the Installer and make a new RAMOS/Compiled bootdisc maker, but I ran out of time.

Excellent!  Thanks for the quick turn-around time on that.  I'm cloning right now!

This sounds really interesting!  I'm curious how this will be used.   Are there people who still prefer to use The Creator over Professional?  Regardless, I think this is a neat idea.

I have no idea  :o

It's a bit long winded to go into my reasoning right now, but basically the original AMOS is something very special to me...

KevG does because you can kill multitasking and still use the keyboard on Amos the Creator.

It's done, AmosFactory is an organization and the invites have been sent, when it spreads and others need membership just remember that with great power comes great responsibilty  ::)

yeh it's magic, one day someone may even be able to build an amos kickstart that boots from a tripos/intpos microkernel.  :o
