AROS Deveopers are talking about debugging the boot process for AROS 68k. The person that knows the most is @Kalamatee but he needs hardware to test the boot process. He has an old a1200 that may or may not work. He needs a donation of an Amiga with a new vampire.

Just thought I would mention that.

This message was directed at the Apollo Team. Troubleshooting the AROS 68k boot issues on Vampire cards requires the Vampire hardware.

Perhaps speak to Guunar or Majasta maybe on the IRC channel perhaps you will be lucky and catch them there?

i think they should arrange that among themselves. i can carry some messages between our slack and apollo irc, but we cant tell them what to do.

Gunnar joined the AROS Slack Channel where the developers are.

The AROS Team is currently gathering funds to upgrade the server that compiles AROS 68k. It has been struggling lately since it only has 16gb of ram. It needs 64gb which will cost about 575USD to upgrade.

actually not, but marlon is hosting and possibly running multiple buildsof different amiga software, not just aros. i can and probably will build our 68k distro of aros myself from time to time, when the updates make it worthwhile. just need to host it somewhere.

What kind of DIMMs are needed for server? Maybe people could donate hardware.

Ask team on IRC do they have free FTP space - latest 100MB+ AROS should not be hustle, I hope.
