SAMs 440/460

[klx300r]

testers have had their boards for a few months now so we should be expecting a press announcement soon hopefully. I know Hans has completed new pci-e drivers for AmigaOS4.1u2 & that's great news !

@ JJ, Iggy, & Piru

yaya we know you MOS guys like playing with old Macs now come on guys give it a break would ya...geez

[klx300r]

The only reason I Post about MorphOS is to point out the massive performance/cost benefit over AOS4.
 
Honeslty MorphOS is AOS in all but name.   You people have to try it if AOS is your thing.

the only reason is the wrong reason in this thread because yakumo9275 specifically only asked about the Sam460ex.  After the usual MOS suspects attacked & the OP, as well as others, told you to stop it & surprise surprise you guys are still at it.

Please create another thread about the virtues of MOS on old Macs and try to stop putting down other camps for a change.

 Yeah and we know that you OS4 guys like playing with expensive and slow HW. "

well I guess these two statements sum things up pretty much eh:afro:

hey I've said it many times and I'll say it again, I've got great respect for the MOS devs cause back when things looked soo dark for AOS and no new hardwware was in site they kept the spirit of NG Amiga alive! I came sooo close to getting a Peg to run MOS on but then ACube came through with new hardware and the damn court case was over and I chose to support ACube & AOS.
Nothing wrong with either decision really so i don't get the hoopla:confused:

Attacked? Funny that... I guess it depends on your perspective, maybe you could take a chill pill and read all posts in the thread again?

figure of speech...perhaps you should read all posts in the thread again?

[klx300r]

You know I actually did before I wrote my post, just to see who did the derailing.

very good now I wonder what purpose do posts no 5 and 7 serve in this thread, not to mention others ? hmmm

"I can very truthfully say I have and will  not pay that sort of money  for a Sam board when for a fraction of the cost I can and have got a mac  mini which is more powerful (not as expandable I admit) and run a  better next gen AmigaOS in the form of MorphOS"

"Yeah, I'm looking at new parts for my Powermac. I already have a  Soundblaster Llive, an Nec based 2.0 card, now I want to upgrade from a  Radeon 9200 to a 9100 and add an SATA controller.

For the price of a bare SAM, I could buy two completely outfitted Mac.       "

@klx300r
So... factual (perhaps off topic) information hurts, so that makes it ok to lash out?

thanks for proving my point & bad answer..& 'lash out':lol:...wow

[klx300r]

@ Iggy;609321]I'm sorry the truth hurts. But Acube boards are both overpriced and underpowered.

That said, they are the only game in town for AOS4 and I don't want to discourage interest in that OS.

Since when does any one party decide who can contribute?
[/QUOTE]

man you guys just don't give up eh.  Please contribute on a thread that wants you to compare about old Macs running MOS and new Sams running OS4.1!

@ Piru

bit late but thanks for starting another thread instead of hi-jacking this one

[klx300r]

Are you going to get a SAM460? I'd love to see some tests run on that...
Let us know what you decide and how things work out.

I'd love to get a Sam460 but I'm so happy with my Samflex440@800 that right now I can't bear to sell it:)...maybe the next Sam board or X1000 might get me to upgrade who knows;)

btw, Hans and other testers have the 460 right now so perhaps they can post some tests here for us all
