Save AmigaOS! I can't be bothered.

Personally, I do not wish to see AmigaOS on anything but an Amiga. and By that I mean its ok if a new X86 Amiga OS was released, but it would have to b a custom chipset x86 box that it and only it alone can run AmigaOS.

So I take it you don't favour flawed VIA KT133 style hardware (AmigaOne) because it doesn't have a custom chipset? OR does the inclusion of a PPC already make it "custom" and "odd" enough for you? :-P

Its the only way an Amiga will succeed.

"Custom hardware"="the only way Amiga will succeed"? I don't even think the guys behind the OS4-effort still believe in this BS. Just look how "well" "Amiga" has proceeded since the choice for "custom hardware" was made. Billions of users!

Many former Amiga companies are SLEEPING and allowing everything Microsoft to squash them.

Oh, another case of Amiga Persecution Complex. Make sure to regularly take your medication.

anyways......lets see what happens.

Yeah, as always, something exciting is just around the corner, I know.

First of all, i'm sure the SAM440 will support OS4, and i'm very positive about that particular board.

The question is not if SAM440 will support OS4, but if OS4 will (legally) support SAM440.
So far all attempts to get a license from Amiga Inc. have failed and the (now dead) Eyetech is the only "company" legally able to sell hardware with OS4. What are the reasons for ACK gone silent? I doubt that it's only technical problems, they might also have just given getting a license.
But I agree, the SAM is the most promising of all "new hardware efforts". Troika's Amy'05 is just laughable compared to it.

Seriously man, after a month of boring us and 300+ posts WE GET YOUR POINT.

The point that he's a troll?  8-)

Problem is, many don't see that AROS _is_ this effort.

I see it as a HUGE effort, honestly. Only thing what might keep some from honouring the effort appropriately is that AROS still can't keep them (non-Coder's) busy for a longer period of time. AROS is _nice_ but it still doesn't feel "cozy". Yes, Lunapaint _is_ a great app and there would be many others to mention, but my point is that I only think that many will switch to AROS once it has a proper browser.
Another possibility is that the horse is not only rotting and smelling, but completely turned to dust. Otherwise the majority of Amigans will keep on clinging to some odd hope. After all, that's what they did the last 13 years.  :lol:

@Starke

Did you already buy an A2000 from RetroGeek? He's selling only top-quality milspec hardware. :-D
