DiscreetFX Amiga OS 4.0 Classic Celebration

[Crom00]

We're clebrating Release of an operating system for an orphaned machine, that will only run on a super-specialty accelerator card that maybee sold a few thousand units.

I bought a CSPPC in 98 and had a great time with it. At the time of purchase I didn't imagine it would take almost 10 years to get a version of AmigOS ported to it. I sold it back in 1995 for $50 more than it's original purchase price.


Absolute insanity.... :crazy:

Releasing a version of Amiga OS that runs on a MAC or a certain revision of mac like the SawtoothG4 or digital Auido G4 (hell even beige the G3 I threw in the trash last year) would make sense...as these machines are readily avaiable worldwide on any given sunday at the local computer show/ flea market.

Folks give these away, universities throw them out.. off lease machines are everywhere.

The thought of sourcing a CSPPC & paying $200 more than the price I paid almost 10 years ago ($800-$1000) makes zero sense. Especially when there are ?millions? of G4's out there that would possibly run the software.

I guess that would kill any potential sales of any ACK motherboards.

I believe there are Amiga-Mac transplants, even just hardcore mac guys that would tinker with AmigaOS4 if it ran on their spare PPC Mac, or God forbid a PS3.

If I still had the CSPPC I'd be happy, and it's a nod to all those Amigans that hung in there with the platform so still a good move.

It's just painfull knowing that there are G4Macs being scrapped that could run Amiga os4.
