OS support request Amithlon (2001-2005)

Hoi V86 devs,

Build around a QNX/Linux micro-kernel Amithlon/AmigaXL boots from FreeDOS into a low level emulated AmigaOS.

The project was abandoned about 20 years ago yet it was created to run on modest hardware.

The internet archive hosts the installation CDRom (https://archive.org/details/amithlon).

I used a well documented guide (http://amithlon.snkbitten.com/) to get Amithlon to run.

I was very impressed after installing Amithlon in VirtualBox on a Win7 2008 Laptop.

I tried to achieve the same result with QEMU and the basic version seemed to work also.

QEMU parameters used: "C:\Program Files\qemu\qemu-system-i386.exe" -m 512M -vga std -hda "C:\Users\PTAH\Desktop\v86-hda-amithlon.raw"



Now I tried to get the harddisk image to work in V86 and it seems to boot al the way yet VGA gfx are not visible which is a real showstopper.




Included the harddisk image I used for reference:

[v86-hda-amithlon.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/26614765/v86-hda-amithlon.zip)

Could you please give some advice to get Amithlon to work in V86 or add a feature to V86?

Amithlon would be a great candidate to add to the already impressive V86 arsenal of OSes imho.

with kind regards, Peter

Use the supplied v86-hda-amithlon.zip and the listed qemu-system-i386 parameters as the reproduction baseline. Investigate why VGA graphics are absent in V86; done means either visible VGA output for Amithlon or a documented limitation with concrete next steps.
