Fermi 5, 50125 Firenze, Italy Received 31 July 2006 / Accepted 26 September 2006 ABSTRACT Aims. We describe the mid- (MIR) and far- (FIR) infrared properties of a large (∼1000) sample of the most isolated galaxies in the local Universe. This sample is intended as a “nurture-free” zero point against which more environmentally influenced samples can be compared. Methods. We reprocess IRAS MIR/FIR survey data using the ADDSCAN/SCANPI utility for 1030 out of 1050 galaxies from the Catalogue of Isolated Galaxies (CIG) as part of the AMIGA project. We focus on diagnostics (FIR luminosity LFIR, R = log(LFIR/LB), and IRAS colours) thought to be sensitive to effects of environment or interaction.

I slutet på 70-talet var han Ataris specialchips-kille. Dessa chips användes för att avlasta CPU:n och RAM-minnet genom att ta hand om till exempel grafik och ljud. Jay ville ta denna designfilosofi så långt det gick, slutade på Atari 1980 och lyckades bygga sin drömdator − Amigan − vilket Commodore köpte upp och släppte J1985 när hans företag inte kunde slutföra projektet. Denna design gjorde Amigan både kraftfullare och billigare än sina konkurrenter. Men designen hade en baksida; den var inte kompatibel med någon annan dator. För första generationens hemmadatoranvändare på 70-talet sågs det som ett nödvändigt ont att man bara kunde arbeta på sin egna datormodell. I början av 80-talet längtade företagsvärlden i USA efter en standard (amerikaner älskar sånt) och fann den med IBM:s pc som släpptes 1981. Den byggdes av standardkomponenter som enkelt kunde kopieras och helt plötsligt hade vi mängder av tillverkare av datorer som kunde använda samma mjukvara. Amigan, Jays drömmaskin, kom att bli höjdpunkten för specialchipsba- serade datorer. 1985 var pc:n en fantasilös och dyr maskin men bara 10 år senare hade konkurrensen pressat utvecklingen så långt att den i mångt och mycket hunnit ikapp eller sprungit ifrån Amigan.

  • 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.

  • An Introduction to Morphos
    An Introduction to MorphOS Updated to include features to version 1.4.5 May 14, 2005 MorphOS 1.4 This presentation gives an overview of MorphOS and the features that are present in the MorphOS 1.4 shipping product. For a fully comprehensive list please see the "Full Features list" which can be found at: www.PegasosPPC.com Why MorphOS? Modern Operating Systems are powerful, flexible and stable tools. For the most part, if you know how to look after them, they do their job reasonably well. But, they are just tools to do a job. They've lost their spark, they're boring. A long time ago computers were fun, it is this background that MorphOS came from and this is what MorphOS is for, making computers fun again. What is MorphOS? MorphOS is a fully featured desktop Operating System for PowerPC CPUs. It is small, highly responsive and has very low hardware requirements. The overall structure of MorphOS is based on a new modern kernel called Quark and a structure divided into a series of "boxes". This system allows different OS APIs to be used along side one another but isolates them so one cannot compromise the other. To make sure there is plenty of software to begin with the majority of development to date has been based on the A- BOX. In the future the more advanced Q-Box shall be added. Compatibility The A-Box is an entire PowerPC native OS layer which includes source and binary compatibility with software for the Commodore A500 / A1200 etc.
