I would love a tiny aOS 4 system...  But it doesn't fit the grand design of a microprocessor in a big box costing lots of money, so it won't fly.

Strange then that the Mini-ITX Sam440 runs AmigaOS4...  (And I found a lovely little case to put the motherboard in.  Note that the case on the left is still small by PC standards, but the one on the right is ridiculously small.)

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

That isn't in production or stock anywhere and hasn't been for how long?

Irrelevant regarding the post I was answering, which said "a tiny aOS 4 system... doesn't fit the grand design of a microprocessor in a big box costing lots of money, so it won't fly."  Not to mention that there was the MicroA1 further back in history, which was a similar size IIRC.

Also wasn't that the one that had some severe issues with regard picture quality?

What's with the negativity?  Had absolutely nothing to do with what was being discussed.

Anyway, it looks absolutely marvelous using DVI, which any half-decent LCD monitor supports.  But yes, it does look somewhat fuzzy *for some people* using a DVI-to-VGA converter (iirc ACube think this is due to the cable used).
