Amiga OS4.0 for classic Amigas is compatible Amiga 1200 equipped with a Blizzard PPC card.
Please see
http://acube-systems.biz/compatibility/index.php for more details.
I do not have this myself, so I can't comment on reliability or user experience.
Amiga OS4.1 will not run on classic Amigas.
I have a MicroA1 with Amiga OS4.1 Update 1. My MicroA1 has a 750 GX PPC CPU, 256 MB RAM and onboard Radeon 7000 with 32 MB Video RAM. Currently I use a 350 GB hard drive and DVD-ROM Combo drive. For about 3 1/2 years, I used a 40 GB Maxtor hard drive as my only hard drive. It died of old age after serving many years in a pc and then about 3 1/2 years in my MicroA1 system.
I use the following software, some of it is 68K, some is native PPC for OS4.
Origyn Web Browser
DvPlayer
TuneNet
AmigaAMP
Final Writer 97
PPaint
TVPaint
Real3D
KingCON
MicroRexx (a helper program for ARexx)
WarpView (a picture viewer)
AmiDVD for backups to CD-R
NotePad
Multiview
AmiPDF
Soliton (an MUI card game)
LTris (a Tetris clone)
giddy3 (a game for OS4)
SimpleMail and YAM also work. I use OWB to read my email at my webmail site.
I also use SMTPpost and AmiPOP from INetUtils-1.4 package with my homebrew sendmail script and readmail scripts.
With earlier versions of OS4, I used IBrowse, AWeb, NetSurf, Cinnamon Writer, LimpidClock, and the AmigaOS4PPC version of E-UAE to run Amiga OS 3.1 for some very old favourites. These also work with my latest version of OS4.1 but I am still experimenting.
I do not have a SAM440 so cannot comment on performance or user experience.
My MicroA1 generally runs well. It is limited by the small amount of video RAM (32 MB). This cannot be expanded. I usually run my machine with compositing effects (transparency effects) disabled and minimum bells and whistles.
