What about Amiga NG? What's the situation with Amiga OS4.1? I would love to get a machine to run OS4.1 but am I correct when saying that development is very, very slow, if at all?

I am very happy with my SAM 440/OS 4 machine, tbh.  I've been coding on it lately (concerting old 68k software to native PPC) and it's a real treat to develop for.

As far as being slow developmentally, there's been 5 update packs in the 4 years I've owned it.  None being revolutionary really, just fixes and evolutionary.  Legacy/emulation got a bit shot in the arm a few updates ago, as the OS now comes with fairly seamless 68k emulation and it comes with ROM's.

Main problem with OS4 machines is the high cost of entry.  MOS is the clear winner when it comes to "bang for your buck" with the NG platforms.


Do you think I should go for a Sam440 or spend extra and get a Sam460 instead? Also, I have no interest in MOS :/
