Amithlon: The Amiga's Last Chance at Survival?

Video Description

‼️ Check out my sponsor PCBWay at https://pcbway.com for all your PCB needs! 🪛 ‼️ Amithlon was an ambitious project to bring the AmigaOS to the PC. I explore the history and story behind Amithlon, why it generated so much excitement in the early 2000s, and why it ultimately became one of the Amiga's biggest missed opportunieies. I also show you how to set it up today, and give a hands-on demo of what is can do. Amithlon Guide: https://amithlon.snkbitten.com/ Amiga Forever: https://www.amigaforever.com/ Capt.
