OS 4 hardware

Sam is low cost? Huh?

OK, let's make a comparison on what you can get today if you want a NG system (HW+OS):

Cheapest "G2" class systems (new from dealers, with warranty)

OS4
Cheapest Sam440ep kit at Vesalia (incl. OS4): 700 EUR
Cheapest Sam440flex kit at Vesalia (inlc. OS4): 750 EUR

MorphOS
Cheapest Efika system: Efika kit (MB + *the Official* case, incl. PicoPSU) at directron.com: $170 USD + XGI GFX ($40) + 80GB HDD ($50): 175 EUR
MorphOS 2.4 for this: 150 EUR
Sums up to a total of: 325 EUR

Seems like MorphOS+Efika wins the "G2" class price comparison.


Cheapest G4 class systems (second hand only)

OS4
OS4 for Pegasos 2 at Vesalia: 125 EUR
Second hand Pegasos 2 G4 system: 350-450 EUR
Grand total for OS4 and Pegasos2 system: 475-575 EUR

MorphOS
A second hand Mac Mini: 150-250 EUR
MorphOS 2.4 for this: 150 EUR
Sums up to a total of: 300-400 EUR  

Seems like MorphOS+Mac Mini wins the G4 class price comparison.

Two notes about the Sam:

1) Despite its price, it offers a performance level comparable to common PDA's.
2) You can get *two* complete Mac Mini + MorphOS (registered) systems for the price of one Sam+OS4 system, and *each one* of the former will be *so much more* useful!

And this is today.

Soon there will also be MorphOS for PowerMac G4's, pushing the prices down even more (or increasing performance even more, and specs/expandability).

LO! you never cease to amaze me! what a clown!
