Title: Anyone own a Sam440EP-Flex....
Post by: Vlabguy1 on September 17, 2009, 03:10:44 AM

the complete system from AmigaKit? I was just curious as the system looks interesting to me and was wondering if anyone here has used, seen, or even owns this system.


Thanks

I havent bought mine from AmiKit, but I own a prebuilt Sam440ep flex. The machine was easy to set up. It runs some classic 68k software like Turbocalc and Final Writer and TV-Paint, but fails with other like DeluxePaint or ComicSetter.

The box runs reasonably fast, but you have to be careful what you plug into the USB-ports. Most USB-HW has no problems, but not every thumbdrive will work.

Bootup is a bit slow at first, but once Kickstart is loaded reboots are lightning fast. I have blogged about some of my experiences. My blog is here on Amiga.org.
