Update...  utri007 replied while I was typing my reply ...

I am a user, not a developer or betatester.  I own one of the older AmigaOS4 systems, a MicroA1 with IBM PowerPC 750 GX CPU and 256 MB RAM.  It is sufficient for my current needs, however, it would be nice to have more system RAM.  Due to limitations of my system, I cannot use some of the fancy eye-candy stuff that is available to other OS4 users.

My MicroA1 specs:
- IBM PowerPC 750 GX CPU
- 256 MB RAM
- onboard ATI Radeon 7000 chip with 32 MB graphics RAM
- onboard ethernet, PS/2 port for mouse, PS/2 port for keyboard, 4 USB ports
- Hard drive
- LiteON DVD/CD optical drive

My limitations are graphics and RAM.  The graphics on my system cannot be upgraded.  System RAM could be upgraded if I could find compatible RAM.

I run AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition Update 1 (the last version available to the public).
I also have the Enhancer Software Special Edition package.

I regularly use the following software:
- several different web browsers,
- Final Writer 97,
- NotePad,
- Cloanto Personal Paint 7 (aka PPaint),
- TVPaint,
- E-UAE to emulate Amiga 2000 and OS 3.1 for some old favourite games.

I do not know if OS4 could be ported to an Efika board or similar.  Perhaps someone in the know will respond.
