Amiga x86 – The Product
X86

Amigax86 is the name of a product that combined product known as Umilator (formerly known as "Amithlon") emulation with the Amiga Operating System (v3.9). This was to be a standalone product release by Extreme Computing that combined all available programming done by
Bernt Meyer, with license from Amiga Inc., and several other software developers to give you the following on a single CD product:

Umilator Emulation Layer
Amiga OS3.9

  • Improved Graphics Drivers
  • Improved Sound Drivers
  • Improved Ethernet & Modem Drivers
  • and the list goes on...

ImageFX (Full version 3.x)

Several high end games

A plethora of Amiga Utilities (both AmigaOS & x86-enhanced, even an AmigaDVD player which worked great...)

More x86 enhancements for full functionality of notebooks & other space saving technology. (We were so close!)



While we were approached early on by Harald Frank in the spirit of cooperation to advance AmiThlon, Harald never delivered anything. Extreme ended up in the middle of the early controversy between the "partners" of AmiThlon. We
managed to avoid the mudslinging and legal issues. Bernie turned out to be a delight to work with, and delivered some unexpected enhancements in the product rather quickly. We worked with Amiga Inc. for the latter half of 2002 to try and resolve all the issues, and finish the product.

The reason for not continuing with this product is mainly due to the recent announcement by Bernie Meyer to "retire" the product. As we have spent much time, effort, and many thousands of dollars to try to bring this project to fruition
by the holiday season 2002, we are simply unable to release the product at this time. We are still very committed to this project, but have other commitments and priorities to tend to.
The Amigax86 project is "shelved" until further notice.

Amithlon is still available under the AmigaOS XL package, and still very functional on Desktop computers. Space saving technology such as Notebooks and custom desktops that we offer will either have to wait until we have more demand to create a new AmigaX86 code from scratch, or until the next level of Amiga OS/OE (Operating System/Operating Environment) is ready. Our hardware line should be significantly expanded by then, so look for some interesting developments with us and the Amiga name over the next year.

Extreme Computing is currently developing other software products
for future developments of the Amiga OS/OE. Please see our other web sites for further details. http://www.extreme-computing.com/ www.extremeamiga.com
