With the imminant release of OS4 for the Classic Amiga series, it has become quite apparent that there is a demand of PPC Cards for Both A4000/A3000's and the A1200.


*IF* it ever comes about it'll be something halfway between a travesty and a miracle :P I've long since lost my rag with OS 4 anyway. I'll stick to 3.9 on classics (without the PPC too) - OS 4 offers no performance or feature advantage on Classic Amigas over 3.9, only possible advantage I have heard  is that development is slightly easier on OS 4, but is that actually right?

I know there are a few people who have hoarded these cards in the past and probably still have them.


Wasn' t me guv - wouldn't give a 1200 BPPC card house room after the experience me and a fellow LAGite had getting his to work right, and even when it dod work it was about as impressive as watching paint dry. Meanwhile, my 4000 is quite happy with it's CS060.

So please, if your PPC equipped Amiga is no longer being used, or you have a PPC card lying in a corner without a home, consider selling it on. There is a demand for these.
You can help in increasing the OS4 userbase, plus being a bit richer in the process.

IF YOU'RE NOT USING IT. SELL IT!


Great, that's all we need, more encouragement to indulge in blatant profiteering from Amiga parts. If you want to help the OS 4 community and aren't using your PPC card why not lend or donate it instead. I'm not scrounging either - I don't want one thanks :)

Er, you still laughing?


I'll still be laughing until I touch a physical copy of OS4 Classic for PPC (real) Amigas. I have to say Hyperion *usually* deliver once they've given a date but I'm not holding my breath for a moment. C'mon. ACK gave us a date, a price and a spec on the new hardware and still gave us jack-all. Many Amiga products have got this far and no further...
