hyperion has posted on their blog a new entry on the game tower 57 running on an A1222. of course this is an alpha build of the game running on an alpha build of the operating system, but it's already quite a bit faster than a SAM460ex at this point, and should be much better in future. there's also a youtube video as well. check it out! :)

btw. this is paricularly compiled native binary for that hardware target, as daniel himself writes, so this isnt representative for regular os4 software unfortunately.

i think this is understandable that they want to sell you a copy of their operating system on a per machine basis?

propably price only for board, not for full system


thats at least what has been communicated. and that at a loss. according to announcement the production costs shall be covered by software sales. given that the board appears to need dedicated software to be attractive i wonder how thats going to work.

...Having said that though, this is from the perspective of someone who can compile his own binaries.

If I wanted more typical hardware I would, and do use an x86 machine. From a pure "for fun" perspective Tabor is the most interesting OS4 hardware available for my tastes.


exactly.foem a prespective of somone able to compile their own binaries tabor might be as interesting as some other obscure microcontroller board. or as ammx extended 68k apollo fpga core.

only most of the people cheering os4 hardware seem not to be able to do that. well there is some small group engaged of this or that development. who knows, there might even be stll more of them than morphos or aros dedicated coders, even though their numbers will likely never exceed the crowd coding for genuine amiga in one or other manner. but it looks like the majority spends their time on forums waiting, demanding, dreaming of something, or most commonly trying to fix their trivially broken setups or hardware, putting their lack of knowledge of the system on display. i might be wrong, but i think, its those casual users, who need to be addressed, instead of piviledged knowledgable who anyway occupy the front of the bus for themselves. otherwise even those rest of actual public will leave at one of the next stops and one may find himself alone wit the driver.
