@eliyahu Much appreciated, i can see people are stating using 4.1FE in WinUAE isnt giving it much justice and i dont think in the forseeable future i'm going to have in the budget an A2000 or the orginal Amiga i had when i was a kid (A500+the GVP A530) + an PPC Accelerator card for either model, so i'm not sure for what i even want to Try out 4.1 that i can Justify 38 $ on what would become Sitting on a shelf for quite a few years before i can afford a Usable Amiga w/ an PPC Accelerator card. :(

or maybe i should just bite the bullet and count it as "one step at a time" and get it for when i Do have everything together :confused:

If you really want to try running 4.1 on classic hardware you'll need either an A1200 or an A4000, as they're the only ones for which PPC boards are available (maybe A3000, I've never heard of anyone using it on an A3000?).

There's something on the order of fewer than five PPC boards available for the A2000, since that never escaped development.

Seen it.  Pretty impressive, but you'll never find one of those boards for sale, ever. :(

Edit: How does 4.1 run with the native SCSI in the 3000?  Is it supported out of the box?  How's performance?
