Well it is to be offically released with the A1 at the CBit show, so at the very latest March.

But from what I understand at the WoASE show, we should have it in the early part of next year (Jan time)

Personally I hope to see it ASAP I've ordered my A1 XE G4.
But to be more realistic I think it will be around the time of the CeBit show in March, which will be the Official Release.

I would like to see a status update so we know just whats left to do... just curious.

Saying that however, Nov2001 to March2003 including writing the Bios and taking on contractual MAC & Linux work to keep the project going is quite an achievment.

It's down for 'first quarter 2003"

So march time could be right. I hope for earlier - feb maybe?

Of course, software, especially an OS is prone to delays  ;-)

Never mind when! Is OS4 going to run on my ageing BlizzardPPC / BVision setup or is it targeted at the AmigaOne systems only? I'm pretty strapped for cash so won't be able to get myself a G4 for some time yet :-(

My understanding is that they are having difficulty obtaining docs for Blizzard hardware, so it's unlikely.
Initially it will run on Cyberstorm, then A1.

BTW, you do know you can order a G3 for a fair bit cheaper?

OS4 for CybPPC has been delayed to at least
January 15th 2002 (KDH).

My best estimate is that OS4 will ship to end users in posession of AmigaOne systems in mid January 2003.

I have great doubt that BlizzardPPC Amigas will be supported, but CyberStorm boards will be supported.
So if you own an A1200, you're GUTTED.

I don't want to run Linux so I am waiting on my A1 purchase until I know for sure OS4 is comming out. I had my credit card # in the system at Eyetech and my mouse over the sumbit button for a long time but desided to wait.

I hope its soon though and I really hope it's worth the wait.

My understanding is that OS4 is only going to be released as OEM to licenced hardware producers/distributors (read: Eyetech and nobody else). This as a way of preventing it from being pirated, together with the hardware dongle. Speaking of that, has you seen any dongled firmware on the Blizzard/Cyberstorm boards lately?

Check out METAL's Avatar, ehehehe.  That's nice ;-)

Well, I hope to see both Morph and AmigaOS run on one of the same HW platforms.  I would like to try both out.  Call me  a fool, but MorphOS also looks like a quality product.  Saying that, I am not slighting OS4 by any means.  I'de just like to give both a "drive around the block."

However, I do say, "The sooner the better!"
