Follett, quite correctly, shut down the thread that was supposed to be about Amiga On The Lake's decision to no longer carry Aeon or AmigaKit products.
The thread has gotten far off topic, and as one of the contributors to that trend, I rather regret it as the original topic still weighs on my mind.
In any case, today I received a shipment from Aaron, including the OWC SSD I asked for, and the X5000 cpu cooler we agreed on.
Shipped promptly, well packaged, via Priority Mail.
S0...thanks to AOTL.
I'll be ordering the Amiga Forever/OS4 bundle next.
And yes, you can promote OS4 without selling Aeon or AmigaKit products (although obviously, its harder).
After all, OS4 still runs on PPC equipped legacy hardware, the Pegasos2, and older AmigaOne systems, as well as via emulation.
And there really is nothing stopping Hyperion from porting to PCIe PowerMac G5s. The video card drivers, if I'm not mistaken, use Atom bios functions similar to latter MorphOS drivers. So, Apple specific cards should not be a requirement.
I've been using MorphOS on AGP PowerMacs for some time, and would love to step up to a PCIe four core system.
Right now, I'm waiting on Aeon to produce one, but should someone produce support for an alternative...
