guys you really think A-Eon & Amigakit didn't know this was coming for a while now? They have spent alot of time & money getting new hardware and the AmiStore up & running recently and have been saying for a while that they have been working on many 'other' Amiga related projects.  Looks like this one yet again came out before they could make a formal announcement  ;-)

Whoa! It's like Déjà Vu all over again! Same thing I was thinking! :hammer:

How's that Gizmo? Can you explain?

Without trying to come off flippint and with all due respect, you're not conducting business with Hyperion. You're conducting business with AmigaKit. Again with no disrespect towards your intentions, you seem angry and that anger, IMHO, is misdirected. AmigaKit is a very reputable company. :)

Arggg! I must go for now and shovel more snow... c'mon spring!

Look they gave me my refund and I am not angry. I only want the information to be out there so that no one else makes a purchases without clearly knowing all the facts. They are selling the x1000 system with os4 FE as the main operating system on their website. Let's not be fanboys here and clearly see the situation as it is.
I purchase from Ebay all the time and I know what I'm getting into when I purchase a product with no support, because the seller clearly states that it's been used or is a retro product. But when you purchase a new computer Amiga or not, you expect certain things to be out in the open and Hyperion being bankrupt is a little small detail that just got leaked. Amigakit sounds like they've known for a while from the email they sent me. If it stated on their website that os4 currently has no support from Hyperion then I would have purchased with a sound mind, but no one wants this information to be out there, especially the guys that are creating hardware that rely on os4 to be their main operating system. To say that to buy into Amiga is to let go of all notions of consumer rights is ridiculous. Do you disagree Gizmo?

No, I do not disagree with your decision to cancel based on your personal feelings, which is why I said "no disrespect towards your intentions". :)
 And, as more info comes out on Hyperion, you might change your mind and could always reorder later.

@AmigaKit
Probably won't get an answer to this but, are you still selling the X1000 with the intent of delivering OS4.2 (for free) or in any manner?

I'm driving around West Texas in a rental Hyundai right now.  On the 18th my new 2015 Mustang gets delivered from the Ford factory.  I know which one I'm going to enjoy more (not that this Hyundai SUV isn't bad for a work vehicle).  ;)

Nice choice! But I wouldn't give up my Nissan 350Z for anything!

Sure does! The new Z model is now the 370Z but me no likey the look.
Posi-track BABY! That's what I'm talkin bout! :lol:
Right, it's a 2 seater - I've owned a 2 seater of some sort since 1984!
Oh, and about 7 Z's!

Sorry.... OT.... Back to Hyperion.....

Why does Multiquote never ever ever ever work for me?

I guess we are talking about the 680x0 version of OS4 that Hyperion ceased development of  at v4.0?  Is that correct?

Nope....  use OS4.1FE Classic... :)
EAB is sooooo chock full of info on how to emulate PPC on WinUAE and running  OS4.1FE it's not funny! :lol:

That is just totally crazy! :crazy:

I just fell out of a timewarp.

The last time I read EAB the coders were all like Commander Adama 'No PPC Emulation while I am in command of this ship!'.  They were all like 'ppc is useless.  We will never have that.'  But now you are saying they allow PPC emu?  And is it any good?  How fast is it?  How compatible?

Holy crap you have exploded my brain!!!!


p.s. once again there is no appropriate smiley for how I am feeling at this moment.

Most peeps (that like it) say to use a hefty Intel i7...
I have an 8GB i5 that I want to try it on.... just gotta get it on order! I was just gonna post AmigaKit's link to the product but they are now out of stock! I HATE ME sometimes!

@AmigaKit... please don't say that you won't get anymore!


HAHAHAHA! I love it when MiggyPeeps discover something new!
P.S. Glad you're feeling better ChaosLord!

@gizmo350,

Z's are very nice but getting too old for a stick. Next dream is a Nissan GTR, yum.

Before I bought a brand new one in 2003, I drove both a stick and an auto... that six speed stick was ridiculously slow to get thru the gears... VERY quick to get up to speed though. The stick just wasn't gonna cut it (my 280ZX Turbo 5 speed was the bomb though!). Then I drove the 5 speed auto with triptronic - whilst turning off the traction control. HOLY CRAP! Manually shifting the triptronic makes the car a rocket! It is just habit now that everytime I get in the car I trun off the traction control. I bought the auto triptronic Touring model immediately! :)

Nissan GTR - oh yea baby! I have a Hot Wheels of one! :roflmao:

That's why my screen name is gizmo350.... (except I forgot to capitalize Z when I signed up) - 350Z! I'm just plain giZmo over at zcar.com

Oh, and I still have my '73 right hand drive Fairlady Z that I brought back from Japan in 1986. It now has a 2.8 liter fuel injected motor in it from an '82 280Z donor - also an auto!

Lol, I have a 1970 Datsun P/U in good shape I'm thinking of a V6 to replace the 1600 to 1800 upgrade I've had in it for ever. Add limited slip, auto trans and done.

Man, I wish I could get an LSD for my Fairlady! Can't find one... or pay a fortune if I could! I think an Amiga PPC card @270MHz would cost more though! :hammer: Last summer I just installed brand new 7/8" bars, front and rear from Stillen - need to give 'em a workout! :laugh1:

1970? Is the body in good shape? That would fly with a 1.8! My Fairlady weighs less than 2000 pounds - what's yours weigh?

Sorry OT again peeps!

@gizmo350,

Barely weighs at 2000 Pounds but has a 1 ton payload, Fitting more than half ton in the small bed is hard though. 1.8L has more torque with the same HP than 1.6L so not really faster but can pull better. BTW, all of it is in good shape bodywise except the cabin floor. Easily replaced.

Chris

PS: sorry folks, but I had to go OT. Even though it was getting stale.

@QuikSanz

Sorry last OT promise....
Here's a real quick vid of the Fairlady doin a nut in a really rough abandoned parking lot so going not too fast cause I didn't wanna tear up these brand new tires (still did though)....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0A-DeR742k

Racing the 350Z - doesn't look like I'm going very fast but doin about 120 in that 3rd turn!
