AROS should run on almost any i386 PC hardware so long as the CPU is newer than an i486, and has a "Floating Point Unit (FPU)". Ideally around 700Mhz and above with 256MB of memory is recommended for desktops and around 1GHz and 256MB for laptops/notebooks/netbooks.

Read about people's experiences here at AROS-Exec, [1], [2] and amigaworld.net and amiga.org.


Motherboards supported

  • Most NVIDIA nForce2 (2002/3) motherboards are well supported
  • Most Intel mobos are supported but may need additional pci / pci-e cards for networking, etc
  • AMD based socket 939 am2 am2+ am3+ and fusion based systems work but additional pci cards may be needed



Supported graphics cards (gfx)

  • Nvidia 2D and 3D. Nouveau Gallium supports 2D from TNT (1998) through to gt5x0 (2011). 3D acceleration for geforce5 (2005), gf6, gf7, gf8 and fermi (2011) cards
  • Intel 2D and 3D. For some early netbooks and motherboards (2007 to 2008)
  • AMD/ATI Radeon 2D only. External monitor support (no laptop support yet) for 7000 through to x600. Experimental 2D version for up to HD3xxx
  • VESA 2D fallback modes for all graphic cards (GPUs) and with screen dragging


Sound wise there are the

  • Creative cards based on EMU10K1 chips SBLive (Sound Blaster Live)
  • HDaudio for intel atom netbooks, notebooks and motherboards
  • CMI8738 C-Media
  • Sound Blaster 128 aka SB16 PCI
  • and for the semi professional a few VIA Envy24 based sound cards (ESI Juli@ especially)
  • some AC97 codecs


Supported network cards are

  • 3com Etherlink cards
  • rtl8169
  • rtl8139
  • rtl8029
  • intel pro100
  • atheros 5000 wireless


You could always go the AresOne route, but should you decide they are not for you it's not too difficult to put together a fully supported dedicated AROS machine these days. Read more about peoples experience here at amiga.org and here at Aros-Exec.



It is very hard to recommend a completely supported motherboard because as soon as newer motherboards arrive so their features change subtly, often introducing non-supported parts like ethernet and audio. It is a moving target. A mini-itx motherboard will only get you 1 pci or pci-e slot. mATX or uATX will have more, typically 2 pci-e or pci slots which helps if any onboard features are not supported.

N.B It is frustrating when a piece of hardware is not supported. Hardware documentation can run to over 100 pages and a lot of hardware do not have any public documentation anyway. Chips from different manufacturers for sound, graphics, SATA, etc. vary just as much, unless they follow a standard such as HDAudio, AHCI etc.

Coding drivers is a far cry from Hello World programs or even a port of existing software. If you do actually want to try then get a hold of documentation on the relevant hardware and start there. Alternatively you could try to find some BSD, MIT or MPL licence drivers as a point of reference. Please , do not think you can just adapt strings in a driver for different strings, it does not work that way. You will need to start from scratch for each new bit of hardware. Device driver programming require embedded skills, like manipulation of bits within registers, good debugging skills, dealing with interrupts, lots of patience, etc.


The following specific chipsets and drivers are also available - use Tools/PCITool to confirm Vendor and Product IDs - Please let us know any mistakes or any information to be added, to this General Chat list AROS-Exec or here AROS World

[edit] x86 'Hosted' Environments

AROS can run on top of an existing linux distribution as well as Android and Windows(TM) install. The advantages are that drivers from the linux/windows hosted environment work with AROS automatically. See here for more information Linux hosted and Windows hosted with downloads here AROS download page

[edit] Audio Chipsets

If sound beeps in AHI prefs then all should be OK. Ensure you set the music unit and, at least, the first Unit 0. Select more than one channel for multiple audio streams, set frequency up to 44khz or higher and set the volume if not already set.

Look for emu10k1 or emu10k2 chipset on the audio card and NOT emu10kx

[edit] HDAUDIO.audio - atom netbook audio

If sound beeps in AHI prefs then all should be OK. Ensure you set the music unit and the first Unit 0. Plus allow more than one channel for multiple audio streams. And set frequency up to 44khz or higher.

This driver is made up of two parts a Controller + a Codec. The ProductID and VendorID are for the audio controller only - the important additional codec is NOT so easily identified. Some codecs missing at the moment.

Things to try if sound not working

  • try adding QUERYD to the start of ENVARC:hdaudio.config file (also known as Prefs/Env-Archive/) ie. on the first line
  • Reboot
  • open a shell
  • type: sys:tools/debug/sashimi > ram:debug.txt
  • open ahi prefs
  • press the 'test sound' button
  • press ctrl-c in the shell
  • post the results to Aros-Exec


  • try to connect something to the audio jack, maybe it is not playing on internal speakers or vice versa
  • make sure you try and select all music units e.g. unit0, unit1....
  • even if PCI ID's are in HDaudio.config, this doesn't mean it is working, it is the codec that matters
  • it might be internally muted

[edit] sb128.audio aka SB16 PCI

AVOID setting and using HIFI modes in Prefs/AHI and changing the frequency to 48KHz 

as per CREATIVE's website, the model number is the first two digits on the front and first two digits on the back. my card says CT4810 and 161TK110B 995; this translates to CT4816 as the model.

The original AudioPCI 3000 card with the ES1370 had a master clock crystal for 44.1 kHz (22.5792 MHz), used an AKM codec (AK4531, non-AC97) and had 4 channel output; Creative later modified the design with a crystal for 48 kHz (24.576 MHz) and Sigmatel AC97 codec (apparently there also was a CT4700 SB128 with a CT5507 chip, AK4531, 22.5792 MHz crystal and TDA7360 speaker power amp). The issue with these cards involved never quite eliminate the effects of resampling on the 64V, it also shows signs of undersized coupling caps. What I liked about these Ensoniq cards is the automatically engaged headphone amplifier (with a 4565 opamp).

Porting involved 40897, 40898 configure, 40900 bugs, 40901 further bugs, 40913 memory IO fixes, 40914 irq fix.

[edit] envy24ht.audio - VIA VT1724

Please donate if this driver works or consider buying Audio Evolution for AROS. Only certain cards supported see DavyAE site and review here and more here.

A little history. VIA created the VT1712 first. A few years later, they created several cheaper variants of the VT1724 (the next high end), i.e. VT1721 (low end cut down), VT1720 (embedded on motherboard) and lastly the VT1723 (no support apart from Windows).

N.B. PCI slot identification and 3.3v PCI.
