AmigaOne question.
« on: May 28, 2009, 05:50:52 AM »
Hello, I have a questions about this AmigaOne system that came out several years back.  Is this system 100% Amiga compatible?  What exactly is this Amiga One system and how does it differ from a regular Amiga?  Thanks.  Are they ever going to make the Amiga One again?

Does this Amiga OS 4.1 run legacy Amiga software?  Is there any modern software made for this OS?  I guess I am wondering whether it is worth even owning a machine like this?

I am still a little fuzzy on what the Amiga One is all about.  Is it %100 compatible will all legacy software?  From what I gather, it is almost completely different than all the old time Amigas.  It appears to me that having an Amiga One is no different than having a computer running Linux.  What I don't understand is that if Amiga is such a dead company with little to no software is being made, exactly why would one want with an Amiga one?  Over all I am saying, what is the big attraction to the Amiga One.  What is it primaryily used for?  Why would sombody pay $1,500 for for one of these computers?

Does anybody know the differences between the Sam440 and the Amiga ONe.?  What are the differences and which one is better?  Also, can These two computers run windows based software at all?  Is there some kind of emulator that allows you to run windows software?  Also, do various compainies make software for the Amiga OS4 platform such as "word processing software", internet browsers, games, utilities, etc?  Thanks.
