Title: Amiga OS4.1 Beta?
Post by: Amithony on December 08, 2008, 09:54:22 AM

I noticed on the Vesalia site that the OS for the Samiga 440 is Beta. Is this in light of the pending court case? Do Beta uses get upgraded when the full version becomes available?

Hi! nothing to do with the pending court case, the reason its beta is simply because they were rushed to get the os out. Registered owners will get a free full version when ready and maybe a rear cover :lol: for there motherboards.
Seriously the beta runs just fine a few minor gripes but its pretty solid. :-D
   cheers.

If you are referring to free updates, not too long ago they said that you will need to pay for a new version instead of getting the free update.

There was an issue with booting from USB drives but that has now been sorted.

Haven't had any issues myself.

AmigaOS 4.1 for SAM440ep is still in beta stage. Don't worry though, it runs fine.

The only problem that you will encounter will be the USB. From what I heard and saw, half people don't have problems with USB and the other half have (that includes me too!).
