Thanks for the reply. Now how did Amiga get ported to those rare and discontinued boards and not to any mainstream hardware? (well, mainstream-ish) I've never actually seen an Intellistation or RS/6000 in person.

Actually, the Sam460ex motherboard has been released last year, while the Lite version has been released last May, and they are both still produced and sold.

Is installing Amiga on this as simple as instaling an OS on a WinTel machine?

The installation procedure has (at least on my AmigaOne) been always fast and simple (like with Windows or Linux), I believe it is the same for Pegasos II machines, too.
