According to this (http://www.acube-systems.com/eng/images/sam-advert-eng.jpg) advert, the Sam440ep will be on sale on 22 September!
(thanks amiga-news.de (http://www.amiga-news.de/) ;-))

Too bad there is nothing to run on it, other than linux..
-
When I want a dog-slow linux box, I'll dig something out of the $5 bin at the local Goodwill store.

Yea, I have to agree with the negativity here. Its not even Amiga news unless some sort of AmigaOS runs on it.
I could run linux on any of the dozen X86 machines I have lying around here.

I'll take a Minimig over the Sam any day.

There might be a surprise announcement at the Show, they've already given away the fact that Sam will be available to buy, I think they are probably holding back on something, like this time last year when there where some teasers which led to a bit of a guessing game until the show itself.
The court did grant Amiga Inc their preliminary injunction against Hyperion, so there is nothing to stop them shipping OS4 during the court case. If/when there is a product to ship it makes no sense to hold back on it release.
Failing that, two words.

The surprise announcement last year came from McEwen who announced OS4 support for SAM and "great cooperation" between them. Oh well, announcements, don't we all love them? :roll:

No the court didn't grant Amiga Inc their preliminary injunction.
so there is nothing to stop them shipping OS4 during the court case.
Wrong conclusion. This has nothing to do with the preliminary injunction. Until a final judgement, the existing OS4 contract is still intact. Of course Hyperion _could_ ship OS4 for SAM during the court case, but it would be a rather risky thing to do. Not so with OS4 on Classics, since it is included in the original OS4 contract and doesn't require any agreement/license from Amiga Inc.

Like, a really bad case of constipation.

How nice a 667 MHz G4, 1999 state of the art.

Yay for rumour and speculation!

Not bad ON PAPER... If a system like that could be made available for like $200-$250 WITH either OS4 or MorphOS, AND in a stylish case, then it would be the deal of the millennium. Given that it will probably come as a raw part (no case) with no software, AND cost at least $500, it's a rip-off.

Sorry what does this thing do again? Some small PPC Linux machine..
What's wrong with those old Mac-Minis for that?

I know, Sell it in a wooden case and rename it the Spruce Goose. Probably never fly, but who knows. :-?
