The whole collection of components was called Kickstart (because it was the low level OS) and the GUI interface component was called the Workbench. What OS did Amigas run (don't tell me they called it Amigos)? What was it based on? Also why was the OS "far ahead of its time"? I just wished the Amiga had a more dignified death. I used to go to Amiga user group meetings and met a lot of really friendly people. It was a small group of very rabid fans that loved this machine. Newtek was the center of the Amiga universe at the show with the VideoToaster and Lightwave. Remember them? Alan had very little help when developing Videoscape and I believe he had a partner join him in making the first version of Lightwave. This was in the days when it was a single guy doing all the programming/developing for the product. But it was Lightwave that really broke through. Videoscape had competition from Sculpt-Animate 4D and Turbo-Silver 3D. This was when Alan Hastings had just come out with Lightwave for NewTek.having hired Alan after his Videoscape 3D was a semi hit.


And looking back he was right, the Amiga just didn't have the horsepower to run Renderman at the time. He was polite and suggested that we just make a Renderman compliant renderer for the Amiga. He was nice and everything, but you could tell he thought it was kinda small-time. The Amigafests were small affairs compared to the Apple or Microsoft ones back then, but I got a guy to fly out to it. I remember I had lured some guys from Pixar to a Chicago Amigafest to see if they wanted to port Renderman to the Amiga. Last I heard he was doing things for OS/2 but this had to be 10 years ago. He was independent before he went to Greater Valley Products to develop for them.
SIMEARTH 68K MAC EMULATOR SOFTWARE
A software application for these 68000 Macs may be downloaded from the Mini vMac website for retrieval of a system's ROM image, along with a complete tutorial for locating an old Mac, retrieving the ROM and working with disk images.Had a friend that I met through the Amiga that developed Disk Mechanic for the Amiga. Macintosh system software is available from Apple's Support Downloads Website (see External links below).Īs mentioned, Mini vMac also requires a specific ROM image for the computer emulation desired. This board can also support ROM chips from other early Macintosh systems, but the publicly released versions of vMac only supported the Macintosh Plus. However, the Windows and Unix ports of vMac (not Mini vMac) support the Gemulator ROM board from Emulators Inc., which allows users to add genuine MacPlus ROM chips to their x86 machine via an ISA expansion slot. Macintosh ROM files are owned by Apple and cannot be legally distributed.
SIMEARTH 68K MAC EMULATOR PLUS
VMac and Mini vMac require a Macintosh Plus ROM file and Macintosh system software to work. The precompiled versions available for download at Mini vMac's SourceForge project emulates a Macintosh Plus with 4 MiB of RAM. Due to complaints about the rarity of the original II, it also accepts Macintosh IIx and Macintosh SE/30 ROM files.
SIMEARTH 68K MAC EMULATOR PORTABLE
Currently Mini vMac supports Macintosh 128K, 512K, 512Ke, Plus, SE and Classic, with active development for Macintosh II, Macintosh Portable and PowerBook 100 support. Mini vMac, vMac's spinoff, is still being maintained and developed by Paul C. Many of the developer e-mail addresses listed on the website are not currently working. Although the website is still in operation, most vMac development slowed to a halt in 1999, and no official releases have been made since.
SIMEARTH 68K MAC EMULATOR SERIAL
Some vMac ports include extra features such as CD-ROM support, basic serial port (SCC) support, Gemulator ROM board support, and various performance improvements. vMac and Mini vMac support CPU emulation from Motorola 68000 to 68040, display output, sound, floppy disk insert, HFV image files, and more. vMac and Mini vMac emulate a Macintosh Plus and can run Apple Macintosh System versions 1.1 to 7.5.5. Although vMac has been abandoned, Mini vMac, an improved spinoff of vMac, is still actively developed.
SIMEARTH 68K MAC EMULATOR FOR MAC OS
VMac was an open source emulator for Mac OS on Windows, DOS, OS/2, NeXTSTEP, Linux, Unix, and other platforms. VMac 0.1.9 running System 1.1 on System 7.5
