Apollo OS

Apollo OS is an initiative by the Apollo Team to bring AROS into main stream M68k use, with a focus on the Vampire powered Amigas. AROS is a great operating system and is the culmination of effort by highly motivated developers over many decades. If you like Apollo OS, you should consider donating (time, money, beer, pizza) to the awesome guys on the AROS Development Team.

Project Goals

The aim of Apollo OS to provide a best-in-class AROS experience on the M68k Amiga's, with a focus on the Vampire accelerator boards and Computers. AROS is cross platform, running on multiple architectures something it does well. However, the M68k experience has been always somewhat disappointing with the default desktop environment being slow alsmost to the point of being unusable. Apollo OS will focus on enhancing the AROS experience on M68k as well as Vampire powered Amigas so that AROS can be a real alternative on 68k Amigas.

History and Birth

Apollo OS is the work of Pedro Cotter who worked tirelessly to bring about an exceptional Amiga experience on Vampire based Amigas. With the help of the AROS team members, such as Michael Schulz, Wawatok, Kalamatee and many others.
