I wish too, os4 will be a bootable option in my 1200 with bppc. This is one of the few things that keep me as an amigan nowadays.

Actually theres only a handful of them in active use. I wonder if it even covers for the packaging, manual, posting etc.

Does this mean that Hyperion can sell OS4 to classic users without AI ?  I thought Hyperion and AI had issues?   Well, that'll be a cool thing to classic users.

Originally Hyperion was going to release OS4 for the classic PPC systems, *before* the A1. So it's a pretty safe bet that the classic release was worked out years ago - before the classic version was axed for the A1.

From the ad on the back cover of the last Total Amiga magazine.

That's all very nice, but what about us faithful Amigans
that DON'T have a PPC card ?
They cannot be bought anymore since no one is making them anymore  :-? (not mentioning doubtful sales on eBay etc).

I have an Amiga 4000 in an Elbox tower and would love to get
a PPC based accelerator to replace my Apollo 060 card, but alas, miracles don't happen...

Why not port OS4 to 040 and 060 to. But I would love to be able to run OS4 on my PPC card. It is one of the reasons I have not sold that card yet.

i posted a similar (reply)question on amigaworld,
and the reply was that yes i can run OS4 with my BPPC,
but as i have a mediator + cards the driver`s will only run in emulation.

Well, Elbox claim that they'll start selling SharkPPC G3/G4 accelerators for people with Mediator busboards. However, for that price you could probably buy the new Amiga that A Inc. and ACK announced at the start of the week.

Wow, did I miss something ? A link maybe ?
And you're right, I would first have to buy the mediator busboard which will probably cost me an arm, then the SharkPPC
which will cost me the other arm so I will have no fingers left to use my "new" Amiga  :crazy:

@AmiSake
Check out Elbox's product page (http://elbox.com/products.html). It's in the product column on the right, under the heading PPC G3/G4 accelerators. Look at the prices and then compare them to the prices in this (http://amiga.com/news/?art=26&PHPSESSID=c6350ce3431200ddd53b96b08ad73a69) announcement. The new machine is definitely cheaper. No idea what the specs are. We're supposed to find that out next week.
