If there are some questions about hardware, let's discuss it here, NOT in the text. If you f.e. don't know the company Lindy and their products for the CPC then this does not mean that Lindy was not existing, it just means you should update your personal informations.

As this is not Wikipedia but our own scene CPCWiki, I wouldn't like to force the articles to follow strict rules, but at least the following two rules should be respected by everyone:

:Okay, then I'll try asking here. Btw. before messing with the futureos page, I tried to contact you elsewhere - but that didn't work - the link to your webpage was broken, the email address was broken, and the "futureos hardware" thread last week in the forum didn't get too much replies either, it only sounded as if nobody knows what hardware you are referring to. So that's why I added the unclear portions. Anyways, can you check the questions in forum? http://cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php/topic,562.0.html - nocash
−
* no advertisment-like phrases
+
−
* no false information
+
  
−
The following parts in this article should be removed and replaced in a section like "possible plans for the future":
+
::I know the problems with the web page, well the provider is CMO ,-) What else to say. I'm a customer there just due to some sentimental reasons, not because of the excellent service and pricing *coffing*. And yes my tfm@futureos.de email is broken too. However a PM here will always work. For any kind of discussions I would suggest also the FutureOS yahoo group, because a lot of people can answer there too. Further the Wiki is not complete, which means I own CPC hardware and I support it with FutureOS, but you won't find it in the Wiki now. Another point, please don't expect me to be in the forum that often, as a researcher I'm glad to have some time for the CPC at all. So please be patient if something isn't answered quick or at all. There is no bad intention, no lack of interrest, but my day only has 36 hours ;-).
−
* IDE support (mentioned several times, and first I mixed v8 with v9, but as it should only be a possible part of v9 [and now even v8 isn't released], it will not be implemented before 2007 or later, right?)
+
−
* CPC Booster support (you can't call an entry in the port monitor "support")
+
−
* Multi tasking (I couldn't find any references)
+
−
If I am wrong, and these features are already implemented in FutureOS and ready for download, please provide us a link.
+
−
 
+
−
Some other parts should also be removed:
+
−
* One-drive restriction of other OSs (nearly every OS can do this, even Amsdos allows drive letters in a path)
+
−
* Advertisment-like phrases (e.g. "FutureOS is for programmers who want to use the CPC at its limits" and other ones; these should be better placed on a homepage but not in a Wiki)

:I sense a scene fight coming on, I'm afraid... I do not wish to take any part in it, especially since I do not know anything about the common history of projects, but I hope it stays off the wiki!

::Well, in general it is quite easy to follow some necessary rules, so I am not afraid about fights. -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 10:24, 9 August 2006 (CEST)

:I'll have to agree with some of Prodatron's remarks. The article needs heavy editing (I have altered several points myself, more is needed) so as to not appear as a commercial for FutureOS but more like an objective article. Also, at points it becomes more of a manual than an article on the OS itself.

:That said, even in Symbiface there was the phrase: ''It provides nearly everything you need to change your CPC into a powerful work station!'' which is more of the same :)

::Yes, that's right. I think someone just copied & pasted this from the homepage ;) -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 10:24, 9 August 2006 (CEST)

:To get back to Prodatron's remarks, if his points are valid the article should be corrected. If ''system .9'', as it is called in the article, indeed refers to FutureOS v9 then I also think that it should be re-written, especially since not even v8 has been released (really looking forward to it!).

:In general, I would urge '''ALL''' contributors who are also developers, to try and keep their usual enthusiasm (read: ego ;) ) at a low, since we are trying to do an objective work and not promote one or the other product... Thanks! [[User:Gryzor|Gryzor]] 09:47, 9 August 2006 (CEST)

I have cleaned up the whole artice, removed advertisment-like phrases, re-wrote sentences that sounded too much like advertising and thigthened the language. Articles should contain no false or biased statements in any form. Keep it clear, true, neutral and objective. This is what I tried to accomplish when editing this article.

I think the maximum file size currently is 512KB (19bit). I couldn't find any possibilities to load data from files, which are bigger than 512KB. Why is 16MB/24bit mentioned in the article? Also a planned feature for the future? -- [[User:Prodatron|Prodatron]] 17:02, 9 August 2006 (CEST)

Okay, then I'll try asking here.

I know the problems with the web page, well the provider is CMO ,-) What else to say.
