@ Hans:
What type of games we talking about here for example? PC?
 :-D

@ Framiga:
Here it is

 :idea:

@ All, damn it, still waiting for the gear to arrive, might ring tonight and find out when the company sent it?

 :nervous:

[Gebrochen]

@ Andeda, yes I ordered my SAm from Acube, why??

And, If versalia said that too you,ten, perhaps this is the reason why my package hasnt arrived yet, as I ordered the board and the os4.1, and to be posted at the same time.


 :crazy:

@ Andeda :

It's ok, Acube Systems is going to email me when they have sent the post(system &os4.1) with the postage number!

He said next week he is expecting to recieve os4.1!
 :-D

@ Hans:

Das ist ja schön

OK, So what or which Quake III do I need to get, one specifically for os4.1??

ANd, is there another listing of games that have been ported?

Curious about it!

 :-o
Are all these for free??

[Gebrochen]

@Mr.Capehill:

So your saying I need the original PC disk, install it onto my os4.1, then download from os4depot, so I can commence to play it on my Amiga Sam with os4.1?

@Hans:
That's handy, I already have the full pc version of Battle for Wesnoth at home, I assume though, due to the download size on os4depot, that it is a fully ported version for os4 versus quake III that needs the original pc disk?

@Fester:
Looks like they are aiming for two consoles, what's next when this is achieved, three consoles?

Sorry, don't want to sound negative, but, I was getting excited over the porting to ps3 idea!

 :-D  :quickdraw:  :shocked:

@ All:

Just saw this on Ebay, holy Crackamoly,

Had to post it here, to show everyone how cheap the Sam440ep board with os4.1 setup really is in comparison.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Commodore-Amiga-in-Elbox-Tower-with-Blizzard-PPC-060_W0QQitemZ200256276587QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200256276587&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Cheers. :-o  :-o  :-o  :-o  :crazy:

Now all those complaining about the SAM440ep, and that have A4000 or A1200, go out and buy the new Amiga system.

[Gebrochen]

@ Amigadave:

My apologies, I was comparing to my sam system I bought with hard drive, mouse, etc, in the nexus p002 case, along with os4.1, it basically, costs less for me here in Australia to buy the sam440ep versus the Ebay auctioned Amiga classic Blizzard PPC.

Sam440ep board with 512 MB DDR Ram, ATI Radeon M9 64MB and Audio 5.1 onboard, SATA DVD-RW, SATA 80 Gb Hard Disk, Logitech Optical Mouse
667 Mhz CPU, NEXUS AVANCE P002 case 596,00 euro  
99 euro for os4.1

http://www.acube-systems.biz/eng/sam.php

Cheers.

 :-D

One week to go until sammy and os4.1 arrive.

@ All

Not to break anyones stride, but, it seems the ps3 porting may be nothing more than a dream.

I do not wish to disclose any further information.

 :-o  :devildance:  :insane:

[Gebrochen]

@ Persia:

It may not be a collectable, but it will be more efficient & nicer to use.
And no, comparing this to an A1 may have been more appropriate, but then again nothing wrong comparing prices versus performance.

@ Trev:

Well said mate, that carpets eaten it.

@ Hans:
SO, you telling me, to play standard dvd's shouldnt pose a problem? I hope not.

[Gebrochen]

@ All: (Im tired right now)

Does anyone know if it is possible to hook up an external(or internal) amiga floppy drive onto the amiga SAM440ep?

Perhaps I can find a floppy drive that would support both, amiga and pc disks, I have heard that some people have done this, was wondering what the hardware is called, ie, I know its a floppy, but what is the model number??

Also, I assume it may be an idea for me to get a minimig, and use it through the FPGA Lattice XP with 80 pin I/O expansion connector on the sam 440ep board??

Anyway, let us know, oh and, I also have a heap of large format floppies, were it also possible to use them somehow, to perhaps find a connector plug or so??

I already have standard A1000/A500/A1200 external floppy drive, amiga, but I also have the 5"+ floppy external drive, with the old type of connector.

OK

thank you in advance!

 :-D

@ Hans:

I believe it should work, as usb printers, etc also are supposed to work with os4.1. Apparently a lot of changes since os4.0 with devices that are accepted.

You mean to use my pc to convert to adf, & then use the amiga - pc connection to relay them to the amiga?

So if I got the minimig, I could plug it onto the sam's usb device, & also upload all the games??

@ Colani 1200:

Catweasel should work then, I will ask about it with Acube or Hyperion?

[Gebrochen]

@ Hans:

So true USB is like that.

Haha, My real amiga is an A1000, now tell me, is there a usb type card for that?(not that I know of)

SD card - ADF = Trouble for me.

It seems the only logical choice perhaps for me to even have a remote chance, is to try a catweasel?

Is there a internet site that explains more about catweasel limitations? or specifications?

 :shocked:

[Gebrochen]

@ Rob:

So it seems plausible then, for me to do it the catweasel way.

The answer to your question is, used to, until my 1060 expansion for the A1000 stopped working, so no, I dont have currently any type of hard drive available, but, I think if I can find a fellow amigaman to help me fix it here, perhaps from the aug group, then, I may have a chance.

Also, I figured, I might be able to connect it with the sam board somehow?? (usb an option??)

 :-o

@ Andeda:

Finally, they have shipped it officially and Am expecting arrivel on the 12 nov.

Unfortunately, the other tracking number was a fake from a hacker.

Anyway, I can finally soon be like the other os4.1 users out there, who are comfortably enjoying it as their daily amiga dosage

Cheers. 8-)  :-P  :pint:  :crazy:  :roflmao:  :angel:  :evilgrin:
