mntmni am thinking.13:26
mntmnwhat to put on my zz9000 usb stick and would it be possible to make some kind of free pre-installation environment13:26
mntmnor should i license amigaos3.2 and ship it on usb sticks13:26
mntmni would like to have a bootable usb stick with some basic tools and maybe tcp/ip stack, whdload, adf mounting13:27
mntmni wonder if it is possible to construct this from public domain / foss tools13:27
mntmnor do i need to license some stuff from hyperion13:27
mntmnmy use case is i want to be able to stick zz9000 in an empty a2000/3000/4000 and make it immediately do stuff13:28
_BnuJust put small dogs on the USB stick instead.13:28
mntmni have only 1 small dog and i still need it!!13:28
_BnuAnyway, there's some freeware version of Miami on AmiNet, I think?13:28
mntmnyeah13:29
_BnuGood luck contacting Hyperion though. Or maybe they'll reply if you offer them money.13:29
mntmnalso, mui is shareware and stuff13:29
mntmnnaja alinea computer is my customer13:29
mntmnand they sell amigaos13:29
mntmnso maybe they could do that13:29
mntmnamigos vs amigaos who would win13:29
_BnuThey could probably sell you licenses to include with physical USB sticks, but that's probably about it.13:30
mntmnyeah13:30
mntmnbut i don't really want to peddle in closed stuff i think13:30
mntmnat least not plan A13:30
mntmni wonder if a workbench can be cobbled together from only free tools13:30
_BnuImpossible.13:31
mntmndoesn't need to be workbench also13:31
mntmncan be dopus or something13:31
mntmnthe question is what about the libraries13:31
mntmna fun challenge perhaps13:32
_BnuI mean, it's impossible to do it "legally".13:32
mntmnmaybe some aros 68k parts are compatible?13:32
mntmnwhy do you think so, what would be the missing ingredient?13:32
mntmni mean, an empty bootable disk already gives you a CLI13:32
_BnuIf you're already booting from the USB stick, I don't think bootstrapping the AROS kick would be very difficult.13:32
mntmnbecause that stuff is all in ROM13:33
_BnuIt does, but you would be limited to whatever is already in ROM.13:33
_BnuSo any 3.1.4 or 3.2 or 3.X ROM, instant no go since Workbench.library and Icon.library are not in there.13:33
_BnuOf course, I don't use any of those, only 3.1.13:34
_BnuIf there's an free version of LoadWB, it might be doable to boot to a basic Workbench screen.13:34
_BnuBut you wouldn't be able to include any prefs utilities, or DOSdrivers or... well, everything. Maybe if you take a chance and include ones from 3.5 or 3.9.13:35
_BnuBut everything else either Cloanto or Hyperion (or both) owns.13:35
mntmnah i think loadwb is actually only 1 library call or so13:35
mntmnthat's all fine, nobody needs to tweak prefs13:36
mntmni mean, this is only a preinstall environment13:36
mntmnit just needs to be able to go online and then you can download the ADFs with workbench or whatever.13:36
mntmnor just run some gamez which don't need OS stuff anyway.13:36
mntmna bit like windows PE13:37
mntmni will try this now13:38
mntmnwhile lasering keyboards...13:38
mntmnamiga-m68k-boot-floppy has all kind of tools in C13:44
mntmnof AROS13:44
mntmn> AROS Emergency Boot Floppy13:44
mntmnalso has PIPE dosdriver and version.library ;)13:44
mntmnoh, linux has no problem to work directly with an USB stick that i partitioned on amiga14:05
mntmnRDB support baked in14:06
mntmn[1646429.589271]  sdo: RDSK (512) sdo1 (DOS^A)(res 2 spb 1) sdo2 (PFS^C)(res 2 spb 1)14:06
mntmnAFFS support also baked in of course14:06
mntmnthe bootdisk kinda works but some tools have problems with my physical 3.1.4 rom i think. loadwb wants libs/workbench.library14:13
_BnuI mean I'll just say what I always do, don't use 3.1.4/3.2/3.X ROMs.14:14
mntmnyeah14:14
mntmn> In order to make room for the enhancements, the 3.X ROMs employ the same technique used by Commodore for the 4000T ROMs, i.e. ROM space was freed by moving workbench.library out of the ROM. This means that a "Libs/workbench.library" file must be present on the boot disk, as detailed below.14:14
mntmni did not know this14:15
mntmndoes the stock 3.1 rom also miss workbench.library?14:15
_BnuNope, it does not.14:15
mntmni mean i can totally plög my old roms back in14:15
mntmnmaybe this will lead to more happiness14:15
_BnuIt's just one of those things that were removed from newer ROMs to fit the hacked/updated scsi.device.14:15
_BnuBecause somehow it grew by some insane size.14:15
mntmnmaybe for blueray support...14:16
mntmni wonder if i ever had the stock roms...14:16
mntmnfound em14:17
mntmnpurple toshiba roms14:17
mntmnwith a sticker Kickstart V 40.68, Amiga 3000-114:17
mntmnbut that is v old no14:17
_BnuSounds like some flavor of 3.1?14:18
mntmnah yes it is 3.114:18
mntmnsorry i somehow thought those version numbers are bigger14:18
mntmnok lets plög it back an14:18
mntmnin14:18
_BnuBut yeah, the 3.1 A3000 ROM has some specific A3000 only stuff in it.14:19
mntmnrombus14:21
mntmnlets make a graphics card that plugs into the rom sockets...14:22
mntmnok back to 3.1! feels good!14:23
mntmnauthentic flavor14:23
mntmnno more hyperion14:23
mntmnok this worked!!14:24
mntmnloadwb from aros14:24
mntmni actually hope it is, and that they didn't just copy it from amigaos...14:24
mntmnthis is how it looks like _Bnu https://twitter.com/mntmn/status/1422897084961894403/photo/114:37
mntmni just need to figure out if these binaries are legit... i.e., that i won't get sued14:37
mntmnhaha https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/blob/588ba457fbe834100452f4cbdea601bedd8a4774/workbench/c/LoadWB.c14:40
mntmnit is really tiny14:40
mntmnconfused by Miami 32b vs 32b214:48
_Bnureplacement ramdrive.device for a persistent boot volume in some of that 256MB? that would help boot times! <- No it wouldn't...14:49
_BnuBut yes, the only problem is that it won't work with non-standard ROMs. And people love shoving that 3.1.4/3.2/3.X crapware into their computers, haha.14:50
_BnuIf you can ignore their complaining though, it's a good solution.14:50
mntmnhaha i will totes ignore14:52
mntmnpeople who have 3.1.4 can just copy their workbench.library to it14:52
mntmnthat they have licensed...14:52
mntmnand you are right, it wouldn't be faster, because zorro is the limit.14:53
mntmnwot is this https://aminet.net/package/misc/os/aros-orca-m68k14:59
mntmnah i am stoopid. there is also aros ISO of course with the full system.15:00
mntmni guess i shall get libs from it15:00
_BnuSmallSnakes.library15:10
_BnuI booted WB 3.1 with the AROS ROM on the PiStorm a while back... it wasn't a great experience. :D15:11
_BnuI can't imagine it not being a giant waste of CPU time even with a modern computer and a fast interface to the video card.15:12
mntmnyeah i don't want all that stuff15:14
mntmnjust the tooling15:14
mntmnwill check that out now15:15
mntmni wonder where i put my scsi terminators...15:16
mntmnthe builtin scsi that is now empty delays boot15:17
_BnuI sold them...15:17
_BnuAlso, apparently the IDE terminator in my A4000 is likely what makes the RTC run too fast.15:18
_BnuBut I don't want to remove it, because then it takes ages to boot...15:18
mntmnhaha15:18
mntmnneed a nice little freeware text editor...15:18
mntmnvim is too big maybe15:18
_BnuJust run edit.com in DOSbox...15:19
_Bnuhttp://aminet.net/text/edit Only 317 packages to browse...15:20
mntmn_Bnu: did you know edit.com is qbasic?15:21
_BnuMaybe there's an Amiga cover disk with an old free version of ced somewhere...15:21
mntmn(i did not know)15:21
mntmn> Emacs-19.25 for the Amiga15:21
mntmnwell that's lightweight for sure15:21
mntmn;315:21
_BnuAha! Amiga Computing cover disk, november 1995.15:23
_BnuIncludes a free version of ced... 4.something? Maybe 3.15:23
_Bnulol15:24
_BnuIt's the one Amiga Computing coverdisk that hasn't been dumped...15:25
_BnuOr at least I don't have it.15:25
_BnuWell, that sucks, otherwise that would've been a viable alternative.15:26
mntmnhaha15:27
mntmnthere is Redit, but it doesn't have a license! http://aminet.net/package/text/edit/Redit15:27
mntmnalso german readme, lulz15:27
mntmnthere's Jed and jade15:27
mntmni will try them all...15:28
mntmnaros includes ridiculously huge icons only15:33
mntmnthe assign command from aros is broken, will need another one15:35
mntmnAssPlus! https://aminet.net/package/util/cli/assplu1415:37
_BnuFinally ass plus.15:37
mntmnlets hope it does the job :315:39
Claudehttp://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/packages/editors/vim/amiga/15:40
Claudeoh nm, missed the vim is too big line :)15:41
mntmnmaybe it's not, but i will try. it should also work well on 68000 7mhz15:42
pasiktime for zzedit!15:43
pasik;)15:43
pasikgpu accelerated only on zz9000!15:44
mntmnAssPlus does not do the job.15:44
_BnuFree edition CygnusEdit would probably work great.15:45
_BnuSince that was before they went all out with version 5.15:45
mntmnok!15:52
mntmnnow where to get a working Assign...15:52
mntmnmaybe i can compile it with bebbo-gcc https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS/blob/588ba457fbe834100452f4cbdea601bedd8a4774/workbench/c/Assign.c15:53

mntmnhaha my hacked together version just crashes.16:10
mntmnthis builds with bebbo-gcc but crashes: http://dump.mntmn.com/Assign.c16:11
_BnuAh, make sure you don't mix up BPTRs and APTRs.16:14
_BnuRandom BPTRs are kind of common in regular AmigaOS.16:14
_BnuI see some BPTRs in there...16:15
mntmnyeah i need to add some debugging porhaps16:22
mntmnand so the terrible amiga replacement tools were borned...16:23
mntmnmhm so a bptr always points to a 32 bit word and also is divided by 416:25
_BnuYep.16:29
mntmnouch 16:37
mntmn/* FIXME: Remove these #define xxxBase hacks16:37

_BnuLow nibble, high nibble.16:42
_BnuHigh high low.16:42
_BnuThat's probably why it reads $100/$02 first, shifts it, and then it can just and it with the next read.16:43
_BnuWrong window...16:43
mntmnthat's what they all say!16:44
mntmni put a printf in my assign program. it says hello!16:44
mntmnthen it crashes.16:45
_Bnuhello :)16:46
_BnuHow passive aggressive is that smiley, on a scale...16:57
mntmnthere is 2 levels of worse17:17
mntmn;)17:17
mntmnand ;-)17:17
mntmnlast is the absolute worst17:17
mntmnwhat's the normal version of utility.library?17:20
_BnuUh, not sure. It didn't exist pre 2.0, I think?17:21
_BnuWell, maybe in some pre-2.0 beta...17:21
mntmnmaybe 3717:21
mntmnaros has a version 50 one17:21
mntmnunclear why assign would need it17:21
_BnuI remember bustest requiring utility.library, so I couldn't run it on Kick 1.3.17:22
mntmnpfft i commented it out and it is not even used...17:22
_Bnu8D17:23
mntmn        The assign command has many switches. This together with the somewhat17:23
mntmn        messy handling of DosList:s by dos.library makes the operation rather17:23
mntmn        complicated.17:23
mntmn> many switches17:23
mntmn> messy handling17:23
mntmnideal!17:23
_BnuThere are many unintentional side effects due to how Assign works/worked, yeah.17:23
mntmni wish i had fs-uae installed...17:25
_BnuI don't... >:D17:26
_BnuAny emulator designed to be a fancy game launcher, I don't really care for, haha.17:26
_BnuUnless it's, like... Rare Replay on the Xbox.17:27
_BnuSo I can play Blast Corps.17:27
mntmnit's just UAE!17:27
mntmnand i said that so i don't have to copy my new version of assign to the usb stick and reboot every time i want to test a new printf...17:27
_BnuYeah, except it has all these weird WHDLoad things for little preview images and stuff...17:28
_BnuThat's all I ever see if fs-uae on Twitch, haha.17:28
mntmnhmm i did not know that17:28
mntmnperhaps there are different launchers17:28
mntmnlooks like this is crashing: OpenLibrary("dos.library",37);17:29
mntmnlul17:29
_BnuBut how...17:29
mntmnexecbase wrong17:30
_Bnu44417:30
_BnuBut how does execbase wrong...17:30
mntmni think i wronged it17:31
_BnuStop that. ('A`)17:31
mntmnok!!!17:31
mntmni wonder how they defined BNULL17:32
mntmnmy guess is (BPTR)017:32
mntmnok no more crash!17:33
mntmnit was execbaase17:33
mntmnjust arglist parsing doesn't work, i need to see how AmigaDOS vs Posix arg parsing works17:34
mntmnmhm > Normally gets the arguments by reading buffered IO from Input(),17:35
_BnuAngrily gets the arguments from nowhere...17:44
_BnuThat was my experience with trying to use command line arguments, lol.17:44
mntmnapt install fs-uae...17:46
_Bnuapt install aros17:47
_BnuWhy isn't AROS the default operating system for the Reform anyway... so you can have the world's worst basic graphics driver...17:48
mntmnLOL18:00
mntmni can tell you something.18:00
mntmnmy Assign doesn't do anything anymore, not even hello18:00
mntmnhow did i break it...18:00
mntmnlol, -O2 fixed it18:06
mntmnlooks like stdio printf does not mix well18:25
mntmnyeah i have to use amiga Printf18:26

mntmnhaha18:52
mntmntested for you: the AROS workbench tools+utilities do not work.18:52
_BnuNeeds the AROS ROM, probably.18:53
_BnuAROS is backwards compatible with AmigaOS things (most of the time), but as far as I know AROS things can't run on Workbench.18:53
mntmnyep18:55
mntmnthat is so18:55
mntmnat least my Assign tool works... it is so powerful18:55
mntmnand a lot of the other command binaries work. IconX crashes. away it goes18:57

mntmnhaha InstallerNG is _not_ happy19:29
mntmnthe Installer-43_3.lha license is a bit nasty19:32
_BnuYeah.19:46
_BnuIt's like, it's there, you can use it if you want, but maybe not.19:46
mntmnyeah it doesn't seem like a real license19:55
mntmnstruggling to get MUI to work. it can't open muimaster.library.19:56
mntmnmy guess is that locale.library is not working. will try snoopdos19:56
mntmnok fixed it20:01
mntmnMUI needs commodities.library20:01
mntmnand the one from AROS luckily works...20:01
mntmnok now we can use NewInstaller (MUI based) instead of vague escom installer20:03
mntmnok miamiDX seems to be that 30 minutes timeout version20:17
_BnuWeird, I thought the AmiNet one was supposed to come with the key file?20:21
_BnuAt least that was the impression I got.20:21
mntmnthere are 2 on aminet20:21
mntmnlike, 2 versions20:21
mntmni'll try the non-Dx one now20:21
_BnuGood.20:21
mntmndo you use KingCON?20:22
mntmnoh, i'm finding this too late, it's a shell with built-in assign and stuffs... http://aminet.net/package/util/shell/ZShell20:23

mntmnok. i just miss tab completion and stuff20:33
mntmnor going back to the last command...20:33
mntmni think the "Shell" thing on workbench can go back to previous commands20:33
mntmnbut NewCLI can't20:33
mntmnor am i holding it wrong20:33
_BnuUp, up, up...20:37
_BnuYou're supposed to use roll up/down, of course.20:37
_BnuJust connect your X68000 keyboard.20:37
mntmnhaha20:39
mntmnquestion!20:39
mntmnwhen i have a Default Tool in an .info, where does AmigaDOS look for this tool?20:39
mntmni mean what is the search path20:39
mntmnweirdly, there's something like "More" in some readmes there, but that doesn't find C:More 20:46
mntmnonly if i change it to C:More20:46
mntmnalso, NewCli's default path seems to be RAM: instead of SYS:, maybe related20:47
mntmn_Bnu: the other miami on aminet also does not include a key, is an "EVALUATION VERSION".20:51
mntmnamitcp is probably the way to go for later, as it is GNU20:54

forciethere is no free TCP/IP stack except for AmiTCP 3.x22:29
mntmnwell, that's one 22:29
apolkosnik[m]And AmiTCP 3.x does not do DHCP22:30
forciethis is why people bundle the roadshow demo in distros etc.22:30
