Given that they say "due to popular demand", I imagine these will sell okay too.


What is definition of "popular demand" in Amiga context?

Who knows, but Acube presumably aren't running a charity.


I just say popular demand can mean anything.

I think ACube get most of their money from the OS4 community and the embedded systems combined. I don't know - or pretend to know - what they're doing, but I do know that if the 440 hadn't been a success, there wouldn't be the current run of 440s, let alone the 460.


Success in embedded industry sales or in OS4 sales? This could be n'th batch but it could be only small fraction is sold to OS4 community. I dont know. And it is not even important. But I wouldnt gauge it with marketing buzz words.

@spirantho

When I had my Amiga 1200 with 040 clocked at 25 MHz it was not slow until I got a taste of Peg1 clocked at 600 MHz. Just like when I got my first full HD capable monitor for Amiga there was no way going back to smaller resolutions.

What does too poor Amiga compatibility mean? Has MorphOS a better backward compatibility? Since everything evolves it is logical to break with some "outdated" Amiga philosophy.


I dont think it was intentional though.
