When will the A1 / OS 4.0 bundle be available?

[Naeem]

Hi there,

When will we be able to buy A1/OS4.0?
Will OS4.0 support the SharkPPC cards, any timelines?
Will there be a pegasos port of OS4.0?  (Pegasos website thinks so!)

I like your style Moderator dude.

Just a point, possibly should be directed at Hyperion (they the OS writers, right?), all this hype surrounding the A1/OS4.0 release, coupled with the uncertainty of when, where, and what, people are rekindling their passion for the Amiga and then bogging off and buying a pegasos cos thats out there and established, and does what they want it to do.  They are more interested in Amiga how it is / was rather than the new A1 platform (I guess is what I'm trying to say :-) )

In a way the official amiga is becoming the nectar for a Pegasos Venus Flytrap.  Ahem.

If I was in OS4.0 marketing I would put out an official (heavily optimistic) release date out there from the off and have boards going out with the pre-rel.  Just to cash in on my own hype.

Incidentally where can I buy a board from?  I would like a PPC linux box anyways.

[cant seem to find a website that actually has any, though they all are advertising them]

Very passionate.

I did check eyetech before I asked where to purchase the A1.  I would have to get it from a dealer to keep all the middlemen fat :-)

But anyways the only dealer registered on the site from the UK is http://www.amiga-centre.co.uk/.  I have sent them a couple of emails these last two weeks with no news.  The website is more of a holding page than anything else.

From what I can gather from this useful interchange A1 / OS4.0 prerel is already out there somewhere [thanks Technoid] - I need one - where / how?

Technoid, dont you notice the wealth of comments on here by people who came to the idea of going wholly PPC thanks to the OS4.0 push and then over the course of their chat here conclude they are off to buy a Pegasos?

Good call on the OS4.0 licencing comment.  Though Pegasos is explicitly saying that work is underway to bring the Amiga OS on to their platform.  That work might be to pay lots of Pegasos Beta-testers / empathisers to flood this site with pro-pegasos propaganda :-)  Personally I think Amiga OS should relax a little on the licencing stance, there has got to be room to negotiate.

By the way I'm new here but was born an Amigan.
