Tiene un post de ayer asi que imagino que estara bien. La verdad es que yo tengo la teoria de que Bluesky tiene mucho soft-block porque hay gente a la que no leo a pesar de tenerlos amigados.

Ma chérie se demandait ce qu'étaient ces bandes de couleurs flashy qui défilaient lors du loading de Wonderboy, j'ai deterré un vieux post masto avec quelques screens de decrunchers Amiga qui décompressaient temporairement de la data au début de l'emplacement mémoire de définition de palette

According to an AmigaNews report, King's family said he passed at the end of July. King was a superb programmer – although he accomplished rather more than that. www.theregister.com/software/202...

Yes.

It mostly just copied itself to other disks via the boot sector. Not a problem on a standard AmigaDOS disk, but on something with non-standard boot code / format, it would corrupt it and render it unbootable. That's why I always kept the write protect switch set on factory disks.

AmigaDos was superb. I absolutely loved working with it.

What a hero.

Tim King was my boss at my first startup, where I ran the tech side of the business as we built out one of the UK's first national ISPs. He was very much a giant of the UK tech scene in the 80s and 90s, and will be missed.

Does anyone know who decided to use the oh so f***ing crap MFM system for the disky drivers? Since the AmigaDOS is THE worst system I've ever had the displeasure to program under, I decided to write all my own drivers and it wasn't fun I can tell you!

galera, vocês que são casados, amasiados, juntados, amigados, vivem juntos do seu benzinho, vocês tem costume de agradecer a pessoa sempre que ela faz algo pela casa, pelo casal, pelos pets, coisas assim?
tipo agradecer pela louça lavada, pela comida feita, por estar dando remédio no pet, etc?

For many in the comments, AmigaDOS was effectively their computer science degree. The discussion was equal parts low-level system history and gratitude for a last-minute port that launched an entire generation of software careers. 3/3

Commenters traded memories of editing startup-sequence to strip AmigaDOS down to a bare command line. When memory was measured in kilobytes, bypassing Workbench and the GUI was the standard trick to free up enough RAM for heavy tasks. #programming 2/3
