Hey! Welcome back!
The AmigaOne is currently out of production and it is unlikely to go back into production.
:-(
The Amiga OS4.0 is still in developer prerelease although it would probably have gone gold by now if the AmigaOnes had been available! :getmad:
There are some planned boards that are in various stages of being ready to ship - some imminent by most accounts!
Troika Amy05ACK PowerVixxenElbox SharkThe Amy is really a replacement of the AmigaOne. The Powervixxen is a neat system which will run inside an A1200 Amiga or work standalone. The Shark is also an AmigaOne contender and great for people with existing Elbox gear.
All the above will run the Amiga OS4.0 which is the official Amiga Operating System and was developed from the OS2/3 sources by
Hyperion.If you want something NOW! :-D And who wouldn't!
You can buy the
Genesi Pegasos mainboard or the
Genesi Open Workstation. These machines are shipping right now and will let you run
Morphos. This is an Amiga OS3.X compatable operating system. It's been around longer than OS4 and has it's roots in the PhaseV product line.
You may or may not know that the 'Amiga community' split into two camps 4-5 years ago. If you buy an OS4 system you will be a fully paid up member of the 'Red' camp. If you buy a Morphos system you will be a member of the 'Blue' camp.
Each platform is equally valid - don't take one opinion too seriously - check it out for yourself.
Of course, apart from an interest in the Amiga, these 'wars' were at times very nasty, genuinely enthralling or totally hilarious! You wouldn't believe that 2000 people could get so upset over a
a business card! or a
T-shirt! :lol:
Recently there has been a thawing in the air! :-)
Lots of developers work on both OS4 and Morphos and most people in either camp can have a friendly and civilised sparring session!
Of course you can always buy an A1200 cheap on Ebay!
Or run
Amiga Forever.or
AROS on a PC!
