Aos 3 -> aos 4

CJ didn't get where he is today by not understanding thinly disguised evangelism you know.

I'm off for the better part of 2 months and all this happens...

And I'll stick with 3.x until AROS-68k comes of age. That fpga Arcade board really does look rather tasty. None of that ghastly PPC nonsense for me my lad!

Mike's board does look interesting.
But what do I know? Hotrod says I'm a retard and I'm using "that ghastly PPC nonsense".  

Since I graduated College with Honors I'm not too worried about Hotrod's opinion, but the PPC thing seems shaky at times (I already lost the bet when I was working with 68K hardware).

Hi,

@HotRod,

I have a classic Amiga 1200, no graphics card, so I am stuck running OS 4.1 on it in AGA mode. I also have a Blizzard PPC 240 mhz for OS 4.1. which takes approximately 2 and one half minutes to load up almost 1 minute slower than windows XP. Now on my A1200 running on OS 3.9 it boots up in 30 seconds and can run Aminet 18 modplayer while I play one of my favorite games Soliton (I pick this game because it is on both OS's) If I try to play Aminet 18 on OS 4.1 the modplayer freezes up the system on loading, but I have mods that I have transferred over and play them on OS 4.1's SimplePlay. Now listening to my mods with SimplePlay and running Soliton is like slow, the system just can't handle it. Constant freeze ups and constant stalling with the cards. I do not have this problem with OS 3.9.
Now I don't know what an AmigaOne can do because I really don't like buying old archaic junk. PPC's to me are old archaic and dead. The reason I have my PPC is because I bought it when I thought the PPC's where going to be the thing of the future for the Amiga back in 1995 (if I remember right) I paid $399 for it at Software Hut. Heck it has been so long I may even be wrong on the price. Then I waited for OS 4.0 to come out, then when it did come out my Amiga was in storage in the Attic, since I had to move to Pennsyltucky with my job. So now that I have it and now that I have used it I am highly disappointed with the PPC's operation, multi-tasking and sound reproduction. As I said I cannot rate the AmigaOne because it to is an orphan computer. I wanted to say dead but some people still have them and use them. Will I put OS 3.0 back on my A1200, for now no, I have my A4000 using OS 3.9, and my A1200 will run OS 4.1 for now, so I can see what it will do.

Well stated Smerf.
My Mac boots MorphOS in slightly more then 30 seconds. I don't know what OS4 can do on something faster (like a SAM), but on a legacy system both MorphOS and OS4 are of questionable value.
