  • Dualbooting Amigaos 4 and Amigaos 3.5/3.9
    Dualbooting AmigaOS 4 and AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 By Christoph Gutjahr. Licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License This tutorial explains how to turn a classic Amiga into a dualboot system that lets you choose the desired operating system - AmigaOS 4 or AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 - at every cold start. A "cold start" happens when... 1. the computer has just been switched on 2. you press the key combination Control-Amiga-Amiga for more than ten seconds while running AmigaOS 3 3. you press Control-Alt-Alt (instead of Control-Amiga-Amiga) under AmigaOS 4 During a "warm reboot" (e.g. by shortly pressing Control-Amiga-Amiga), the operating system that is currently used will be booted again. Requirements This tutorial is only useful for people using AmigaOS 3.5 or 3.9 in addition to AmigaOS 4. If you're using an older version of OS 3, you can not use the scripts described below. The Amiga in question should have two boot partitions - one for AmigaOS 4 and one for AmigaOS 3.5/3.9, both should be below the famous 4 GB barrier. The OS 4 partition must have a higher boot priority. Two different solutions There are two different approaches for dualbooting: the first one described below will display a simple 'boot menu' at every cold boot, asking the user to select the OS he wants to boot. The other solution explained afterwards will always boot into AmigaOS 4, unless the user enters the "Early Startup Menu" and selects the OS 3 partition as the boot drive.

  • Morpho-Syntactic Interactions Between V and C in Romance1
    Dialectologia. Special issue, V (2015), 293-319. ISSN: 2013-2247 Received 7 August 2015. Accepted 26 September 2015. MORPHO-SYNTACTIC INTERACTIONS BETWEEN V AND C IN ROMANCE1 Ángel J. GALLEGO Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona [email protected] Abstract This paper discusses a series of morpho-syntactic (a)symmetries that emerge in the vP and CP levels of different Romance languages. The (a)symmetries considered indicate a P or D oriented nature for specific functional heads placed in the vP and CP domains, an idea that has been at the forefront of micro-parametric studies ever since the 80s (cf. Kayne 1984, 2000; Uriagereka 1995). The consequences of this investigation for the status of parameter theory are further considered (cf. Chomsky 1981; Baker 2001; Biberauer 2008; Kayne 2000; Picallo 2014) and the study of the lexicon, arguably the main locus of linguistic variation (cf. Halle & Marantz 1993; Hale & Keyser 1993; Starke 2014; Uriagereka 2008). Keywords complementizers, lexicon, micro-parameters, Romance languages, variation, verbs INTERACCIONES MORFOSINTÁCTICAS ENTRE V Y C EN ROMANCE Resumen Este trabajo discute una serie de (a)simetrías morfosintácticas que aparecen en los niveles del Sv y el SC de diferentes lenguas románicas.

Niezależnie od tych, którzy mają Amigę “od zawsze”, biegnie współcześnie jej nieprzerwany rozwój, i to wielotorowo. Oprócz tego możemy cieszyć się różnymi hobbystycznymi rozwinięciami, pozwalającymi w sposób bardziej wygodny korzystać z rozrywki w formie retro. Amiga dzisiaj to “amigowanie”, wielka różnorodność i wiele smaków 1 Amiga retro AMIGA legenda informatyki AMIGA - pierwszy na świecie komputer multimedialny. Premiera w 1985 r. Wcześniej były inne innowacyjne konstrukcje (np. firmy Xerox czy Lisa firmy Apple) ale to Amiga wnosiła fenomenalną na ówczesne czasy grafikę, animację i dźwięk. Architektura komputera to specjalizowane układy odciążające procesor. artyści Andy Warhole i Debby Harry przy pierwszej Amidze Rewelacją był też wielozadaniowy system operacyjny. Prasa branżowa potraktowała wtedy Amigę jako zabawkę, nie wiadomo było co z tym robić. Ten pierwszy model nazywał się po prostu Amiga, potem nazywano go Amiga 1000. Projekt wraz z zespołem który go stworzył, z genialnym Jayem Minerem na czele, trafił pod skrzydła CBM (Commodore Business Machines), giganta w tamtym okresie jeśli chodzi o produkcję komputerów na świecie. Kolejne modele pojawiły się 2 lata później – dopiero one odniosły sukces. Amiga 2000 i Amiga 500, oparte na podobnych podzespołach, okienkowy graficzny interfejs – Workbench jednocześnie rozdzieliły pierwotną koncepcję na dwie linie komputerów – “duże” i “małe” Amigi. 2 Amiga retro “Duże” Amigi przypominały PC, były to desktopy, umożliwiające rozbudowę za pomocą kart rozszerzeń. Za sprawą rozszerzenia Video Toaster stały się na jakiś czas standardem w edycji wideo.
