AMOS extensions

From ExoticA

This is a comprehensive list of AMOS extensions.

AMOS is a BASIC-like language for the Amiga. It supports extensions, which add more instructions to the language. Each extension must be loaded into one of 25 slots in AMOS's configuration file.

List of AMOS extensions

Extension names in bold are the extensions that were bundled with AMOS (Music, Compact, Request, Serial / IOPorts), or were sold separately as AMOS companion products (AMOS 3D, AMOS Compiler). All other extensions were written and distributed by third parties.

Wanted extensions

The list above only includes extensions, and versions of extensions, that are available today on the internet.

Since the 1990s, a lot of old versions, and rare extensions have gone missing. Any help tracking them down is appreciated.

Referenced in version histories

These versions of extensions should exist, because later versions have listed them in their version histories.

AMOS-LIST

AMOS-LIST was an internet mailing list. It maintained an FAQ, including a list of AMOS extensions and their latest AMOS 1.3 and AMOS Pro versions.

The FAQ was published monthly and archived on Aminet, from September 1994 to December 1999. The list of extensions changed 4 times in that period.

These are the extensions and versions listed in AMOS-list's FAQ that can't be found on the Internet today:

AMOS Factory

AMOS Factory is a long-defunct website that listed AMOS extensions and often distributed them. Sadly, none of the download links are available today.

These are the extensions and versions listed on AMOS Factory that can't be found on the Internet today:

Andrew D. Burton's guide to AMOS Extensions is another list of AMOS extensions, originally hosted here, but copied and updated on the new AMOS Factory board and most recently copied and updated on amigacoding.com

This guide lists extensions that aren't available on the Internet and aren't listed in the AMOS-list FAQ or AMOS Factory, so extra research is needed to confirm where they came from.

n/a IntOS Matthew R. Warren / OTM V1.01
  • IntOS is not an extension. It does not use AMOS's extension system and does not provide new AMOS instructions.
  • IntOS is a standalone Amiga executable called IntOS.CustLib, and accompanying AMOS source code with user-callable procedures and functions
  • The AMOS program launches the executable if not already started, and talks to it through a port
