Uh, let's see. They both run Amiga OS 4,1 and the Peg will also run MorphOS. Plus the Peg is faster.

So you kept the SAM, right?  :roflmao:


LOL

I kept the peg, having sold the Sam when OS4 was announced for the peg but I was so disappointed with OS4 on the Sam I never bothered to buy it.

I actually felt that my 3000 and 4000 running 3.9 were a step up from OS4, at least they have USB support that doesn't destroy data and drives, and have USB2 speed. Morphos just feel light years ahead.

I like the Sam hardware but it is far to expensive, and its only use outside Acube's industrial market is as a hardware dongle for OS4. I just hope that the industrial customers aren't lumbered with Uboot, IMHO the worst boot manager its ever been my misfortune to use.

WRONG. How about one that just works good, and then we can talk about uber machines later. Crawl, walk, run, last I checked, was the way to get somewhere.



Well they got the crawling part spot on with the sam ep ;)
