hum here is a quote form the history of amiga heck type it in Hombre:
The choice of the Hombre is a confusing one to an audience so used to the idea of the Amiga moving towards PowerPC. Rather than a clean break with a new CPU, Commodore chose to produce Hombre as a chipset with a PA-RISC core.
Wow, that's what I freaking said. Way to shoot me down
not used at nasa again he is wrong:
Gary Jones, the principle systems engineer for NASA's software systems at Cape Canaveral told us the Amigas take in all the telemetry data from the spacecraft, scale it by applying coefficients up to fifth order polynomials and convert the data back to engineering units for display to the engineers working the launch.
....Gary went on to tell us that their first choice was the Macintosh, but as it was a closed system, Apple wouldn't give NASA enough information to get into it at the level that was needed. Talk about blowing a marketing opportunity!
<snip> Seven Amigas are online assigned to operational support, six are dedicated to routing data to remote space centers and another six are reserved for hardware and software development.
... The spacecraft supported by the Amigas include; all of the Atlas-Centaurs, Delta II and Delta III, the Orbital Sciences Pegasus, Lockheed-Martin Athena, a couple different models of the Titan, GOES and GPS spacecraft data and some user data off the space shuttle.
Because of way the Amiga is laid out and because the software is all tied together, if the bit rate isn't too high, they can actually support more than one spacecraft at a time in the same Amiga. A multi-tasking, multi-spacecraft personal computer!
Hehe. So, you back up the assertion that NASA is rife with Amiga's by pointing out thta they have 13 of them. 13. You know how many systems NASA is running? I work at a University and my Division has 2 Apple IIes running spectrometers. Hell, I've got a 386 in the office that we had to desolder a NiCad from the motherboard and resolder a new one to get it up and running. It also performs a very specialized task running equipment. Should you assume that my University (not even my Division) is an Apple IIe shop? or that our primary computers are 386 class? What a crock.
Gary Jones; "If its not a PC, NASA gives us a lot of grief when we try to buy anything to go with the Amigas. They want us to buy Macs or PC's and run Windows 98 and NT(XP,2003), not to mention linux or bsd. We keep trying to tell them those platfofrms arent fast enough or stable enough so they tell us to buy DEC Alphas. We tell them its too expensive and not as powerful. They don't like the Amiga, it doesn't cost enough." They are starting to see the light now that they see Intel making clones of the Amiga.
I only include this because it reinforces a question I had about your earlier post. How old is this quote? You didn't provide the original link as I did in my posts. If it's 100% accurate, it may be as new as 2003. However, it specifically mentions that NASA wants them to run Windows 98. Why would NASA want them to run Win98 today? We actively discourage people from running 98. Also, Why would NASA want them to buy DEC Alphas? DEC DOESN'T OWN THE ALPHA ANYMORE AND HASN'T FOR A COUPLE YEARS! HP OWNS THE ALPHA AND THEY'VE KILLED IT OFF.
So, to bolster your claim that NASA as Amiga's all over the place, you point out 13 of them that were running maybe 2 years ago. Wow. Oh, just for comparison, One division at my Private University (Physical Sciences) has over 1500 compute nodes in it according to our first attempt at an inventory. I'd assume all of NASA has well over 10,000 computers (not counting the massive clusters) and you found 13 Amigas. Wow.
Look up Intel again with there history youll fnd that intel bought out amiga chipsets to make the itanium which is identical to the Hombre, Pciexpress, and all ie useing ahi -sound not crappy creative and rgb not inferior vga.
Um.. I think you'll find your Amiga History is full of crap.
As I said before, the Itanium is a VLIW ISA. It's also a Processor, not a chipset so how does one make a chipset into a processor. Your claim that Intel (and HP) bought an Amiga chipset designed to run a RISC processor to act as the basis of their VLIW Processor is so stupid I can't believe I'm even arguing about it. It's like claiming that the voltage regulator on an electric motor was bought out so that another company could base their rotary combustion engine on it.
Also youll find that redhat and suse used amgia os as the base of the new os for itanium. Thereby going true Unix. Going back to unix and amiga as it was intened and invented on . yes linux inveted on a amiga 3000. By the way look that in Linux mag called Linux user about 4 -6 months ago.
No, you're either stupid or lying again. Linus Torvalds wrote Linux because he couldn't get access to or afford a real Unix box. He wrote it on an x86 processor.. on a PC.
You also don't appear to know the history of Unix either but that's too much to go into now.
He claims to know archtecture x86 was invented as erly as 1947. Asymetirc archtieture 1982 hum whos behind now. Secondly, Amiga now Hombre is compared to humas as its the same archtiecture as the human cell. I do know he doesnt as he didnt know what i was comparing it to.
OK, I'll agree with you here. The x86 architecture was retrived from the Roswell space craft in 1947. The Aliens brought x86 technology to earth and a government mole gave it to Intel. Bwahahaha. BTW, what part of the Amiga Architecture takes the role of the Mitochondria in the Human Cell?
funny how fools resort to such immature tactics. The facts are as they are . It happend . His in the linux room and yet he claims mac os isnt linux then what is he doing there. Frankly he doesnt know jack hence the name calling as last resort. All you have to is look on the net ask Nasa and hollywood all of which use the Amiga or Hombre as it is called now hence my name.
HERE ENDTH THE LESSON
meaning not going to reply to a fool that doesnt knwo jack
Wow, I've never seen someone so nuts who can type that much in one pass. I am impressed.
I can't believe that I could be so stupid as to claim that the MacOS isn't linux (Linux being the GNU project with the Linux kernel at the heart) JUST because it doesn't have a Linux kernel. Yes, Just because the Mac OS X has a BSD/Mach kernel INSTEAD of a Linux kernel I was so foolish as to think it's not linux.
Man, get off the extra-terrestrial and the conspiracy theory web sites and look at the real history from the people who wrote and designed these systems.
