sorry: QDOS for Amiga..Peter wrote:Hi Giorgio,
there is no software called "the Amiga QL emulator". So what do you mean?
If you mean Amiga-QDOS (also known as QDOS4amiga) or QDOS Classic, then not. As the names suggest, those are variants of QDOS.

I'm almost tempted to do an experiment:Peter wrote:Also sorry... I should have concluded that from the topic
By the way, QDOS Classic is more developed than Amiga-QDOS, probably the better choice, especially if you have a "higher" CPU.
As mentioned in the hardware topic "68060 based QL system" it would be interesting to know whether it runs on Amiga "Vampire" accelerator. If you use that accelerator, it would be nice if you could let us know.
Ah ... I did not understand this ... I thought they were emulators!Peter wrote:Save your time, that is completely hopeless. Amiga-QDOS and QDOS Classic do not emulate a QL and certainly not a QL with GoldCard. They are QDOS operating systems for the Amiga.
QDOS Classic is a JS ROM equivalent, with all machine dependant routines patched out.Giorgio Garabello wrote:Ah ... I did not understand this ... I thought they were emulators!
QDOS Classic is better, because it has a number of bug fixes, built-in exception handling, improved floating-point output routines, movable system variables, etc.Giorgio Garabello wrote:In any case do you think it is better QDOS Classic rather than QDOS4Amiga? ...
Why?
However it is a pity that there is no SMSQE for amiga, given the large number of existing AMIGA machines ...Peter wrote:QDOS Classic is a JS ROM equivalent, with all machine dependant routines patched out.Giorgio Garabello wrote:Ah ... I did not understand this ... I thought they were emulators!

Also, it is available for Q40/Q60. (I even ported QDOS Classic to the Q68, but no time to release it yet.)
