    Not sure this is the right section to post.

    Anyone know if PiAmiga is still being developed, and how stable is it?

    ... DOS=HIGH? I knew it was on something...

    It is, and I believe it is up to v4 at the moment, Chris Edwards is handling it. If you Google PiMiga4 you will get a lot of info. It's a VERY LARGE download and will take some time, but is worth it.. I am about to re-purpose a 8GB 4b to be a PiMiga setup...

    Check out the YouTube channel "Chris Edwards Restoration" - he's the guy that makes PiMiga (99% sure on this). In fact, 10 days ago he posted a video about a PiMiga 4 preview. So, I think it's definitely still being developed :)

    As for stability, can't tell ya, but seems worth trying out.

    Chris Edwards Restoration:

    It's a *huge* download, though and requires at least a 64Gb sd card.

    Personally I think it's to bloated!

    How does this compare to AmiKit?

    Will do... Guess I just need to google. :>

    ... My software never has bugs. It just develops random features...

    I've never really run Amikit, I installed it at one time in a VM and never really investigated it to closely. PiMiga I spent a little more time with because I had a pI sitting around gathering dust. I hope to do a little more playing with PiMiga soon..

    ... A social life? Where can I download that!?

    AmiKit is great but IMO it's also a bit bloated.

    My preference is to install Amiga OS 3.2.2 and mod it from there to build a decent workbench. Alternatively you can take a fresh Amiga OS 3.2.2 install and use "BestClassicWB" (it's on EAB but google is your friend here) to automatically build an excellent workbench/OS experience. And it's lightweight.

    Thanks for the tip.

    I have a PI 400 coming in. currently dont have 3.2.2. I have 3.1 which I got from Amiga Forever.

    Looks like the only way to get 3.2.2 is to order on disc?

    ... What do you mean, QWK? It took me over an hour to read!

    Some delaers offer the option to download the cd as a iso, and will ship
    the cd to you.

    I found these dealers the other day.... Wasn't sure they offered a digital copy.

    ... Tech support is just a busy signal away

    I will consider it once I feel I can get a stable install working.

    I have nuked PiMiga and installing from scratch and just learning the OS at the moment.
