I have to pinch myself. I never thought I'd see the day. This is great news.

Yes exactly, this will take some time to save up to. No impulse buy for me.

I can sadly not make 650 euro dissapear in front of my wife (although 330 euro is easy to hide away so that nobody notice :-) ).


Ha! I hear you!  :-)

I'm going to save up for it and communicate my intentions when I muster the courage. :-)

I'm not really understanding the benefits of this?  How well will it run "classic" 680x0 Amiga software?  If it can, is it just running the old classic software in a 68K/custom-chip emulator built into the OS?  And if that is the case, how is OS4.1 on a SAM better than running UAE on a PC?


I'd like to have a machine with OS4 as the main OS. I haven't tried OS4 yet. Missed my chance a few years ago.

As for the earlier Amiga OSes, I'm only running them on winUAE. I sold most of my classic hardware earlier this year except for a couple 2000s and a 1000 that I haven't touched since early spring.
