Sir, I heard that AmigaDOS 1.3 will come out soon. If I purchase Amiga 500 with AmigaDOS 1.2, How do I can upgrade AmigaDOS 1.3 from old version for Amiga 500?? Also, I heard that AmigaDOS 1.3 will provide faster filesystem, X-windows, and boot from hard disk. Thanks! I heard that someone are porting Minix to Amiga. Will anyone can port it to Amiga?? I like that Minix. Minix is very good operating system because it used V7 system calls compitable. If no, I maybe can port it to Amiga because I am taking my course, Operating Systems and Computer Arch. ;-) I really like Sidecar for Amiga series. Will sidecar works for Amiga 500?? Will Sidecar supports slot expansions and 8088 CPU??? -- Tim Stark +==============================================================================+ | Timothy Stark | BitNet: 11TSTARK@GALLUA.BITNET | | Gallaudet University | Internet: 11TSTARK%GALLUA.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU | | P.O.

Thanks!}i An upgrade to 1.3 (I heard) will not be due until at least six months later, to upgrade to 1.3, take your Amiga to your dealer to put in the new Kickstart ROM. > > I really like Sidecar for Amiga series.

And I have also heard about it not being about to support extended memory expansion boards on the A1000, I assume this goes true for the A500 also. I think the sidecar has XT slots inside, and yes, it has an 8088 CPU. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Steve Chan UUCP: gatech!petro!atrium!chanst | | @ Atrium @ The Alamo BITNET: chanst@atrium.UUCP | | San Antonio, Texas ARPA: | | | | 'If you put your minds to it, you could accomplish anything!' - Doc | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
