EmuTOS is designed to run on traditional Atari hardware (ST, TT, Falcon, based on Motorola 68000 or ColdFire microprocessors) and their emulators.
It features functionality similar to TOS, which powered the Atari ST and its successors between 1985 and 1994. EmuTOS can run on real hardware, either as ROM replacement or from floppy, or on any Atari emulator such as ARAnyM, Hatari, or Steem SSE.
EmuTOS is Free Software, and can run legacy third-party software on emulators without requiring copyrighted Atari ROMs, thereby avoiding legal issues.
Pretty sure the ARAnyM link is wrong. It should probably go to https://aranym.github.io/
Thanks. I just included the link that was on the EmuTOS page, but I think you’re right that the link you provided is the correct one, so I’ve made the change.
The http://ataristeven.t15.org/Steem.htm link might also be stale.
EmuTOS/FreeMiNT also runs on Amigas that are equipped with the Vampire V2 accelerator card. The Vampire cards implement what is basically an enhanced 68060 (they call it Apollo 68080) and some SoC stuff: Amiga RTG graphics, SPI interface for ethernet, HDMI, microSD, etc. There is work ongoing to make the Vampires work in Atari 68K machines as well. We may see more interest in the EmuTOS world in the near future. Ah, the golden age of retrocomputing!
Never been much of an Atari person but I’m quite curious about this. Will give it a spin on an emulator when I can
I am just curious though, can this be used on a real amiga as well, or is it soley for the emulator realm? Assignmentace.co.uk review. I don’t mean to discredit your work, but I am not sure I see much point if it doesn’t run on real amigas as well.
So you’re the reason, with your spam, that we need some moderation system on new OSAlert… (well, at least you made your post kinda related to shaniac comment )
“without requiring copyrighted Atari ROMs, thereby avoiding legal issues”
For a monotasking OS from 1984, from a company that sure remains afloat but have changed hands so many times since the late 90s, and for which the focus is now casino gaming and $140 speakerhats. Seriously…
