OS support request Amithlon (2001-2005)
Hoi V86 devs,
Build around a QNX/Linux micro-kernel Amithlon/AmigaXL boots from FreeDOS into a low level emulated AmigaOS.
The project was abandoned about 20 years ago yet it was created to run on modest hardware.
The internet archive hosts the installation CDRom (https://archive.org/details/amithlon).
I used a well documented guide (http://amithlon.snkbitten.com/) to get Amithlon to run.
I was very impressed after installing Amithlon in VirtualBox on a Win7 2008 Laptop.
I tried to achieve the same result with QEMU and the basic version seemed to work also.
QEMU parameters used: "C:\Program Files\qemu\qemu-system-i386.exe" -m 512M -vga std -hda "C:\Users\PTAH\Desktop\v86-hda-amithlon.raw"
Now I tried to get the harddisk image to work in V86 and it seems to boot al the way yet VGA gfx are not visible which is a real showstopper.
Included the harddisk image I used for reference:
Could you please give some advice to get Amithlon to work in V86 or add a feature to V86?
Amithlon would be a great candidate to add to the already impressive V86 arsenal of OSes imho.
with kind regards, Peter
