pOS prerelease

Stop Press

Stefan Ossowski's Schatztruhe announced details of a prerelease version of p.OS being... released. Available on CD, this Amiga like operating system, developed by ProDAD, is touted as being a portable AmigaOS style operating system to run on a variety of platforms. Schatztruhe's press release is quoted here;

` Since its first introduction this new operating system, an innovation started on the Amiga platform, gained tremendous interest from the Amiga community.

With this prerelease every user gets the opportunity to take a closer look into the philosophy of p.OS - the operating system which will soon be available for the Amiga and many other platforms.

The prerelease is a nearly complete operating system at a reduced introductory price! You may also upgrade this version to the final release without having to pay more than the difference in price.

For the price of DM 49,00 [ Less than £20 - Ed ] you'll obtain the p.OS PreRelease on CD ROM or on floppy disc. And as a special introduction bonus you receive - for free - additional demos and tools, which demonstrate the abilities of this operating system. An online tutor introduces you comfortably and with the greatest of ease to all the technical innovations and allows you to become immediately familiar with this powerful operating system. '

  • Disks in MAC-OS and MS-DOS format only useable with AMIGA drivers (but usable parallel)
  • no printed manual, but ONLINE-Guide resp. HTML-Tutor (in the disk version because of space limitations without graphics)
