Wow, that’s a great price for an OS4 system.

Yeah, nice offer indeed.

Do note, though, that it's not a "system" (as including case, drives, peripheral cards, keyboard, and mouse), but the board itself plus OS4.

Best regards,

I played around with booting from the SD card some years ago on my Sam 460ex - it's probably not different from the cr in this respect.

In fact, I had both a boot volume and a Work: volume on the SD card and no hard disk at all.

It worked well enough, but the speed was definitely slower than with a (conventional) hard disk.

I didn't try using an SSD on the 460, but I have always used SSDs on my 440ep, and that boots quite fast.

Best regards,

Well, I certainly did notice the difference in boot time.

But most things after that were absolutely useable.

Best regards,

Hmm. Well, it's been several years since my experiments, and I don't remember any more which card I used for the experiment.

It could well have been a slow one, I'd imagine the card's transfer speed will have quite an impact on the experience.

Best regards,
