I voted OS4 because it looks like it needed a bit more support in the poll. (Being a new OS4 owner)

However, in all truth, AROS is the way forward IMO, if nothing else than because it's open-source. Targetting x86 helps make it accessible also.


Do you run OS4 on your A1200 060/PPC with Mediator PCI busboard/Voodoo graphic card and SoundBlaster audio card?  And you also can run OS3.9 with this system config?  (awesome A1200 BTW!)

I am planning on doing a similar upgrade on my A1200, but I don't have a PPC accelerator.  So I'm wondering if I will still be able to run OS3.9 (and OS4) using a PC accelerator through Mediator also?  I've only just started checking into this Mediator upgrade possibility.  It sounds like awesome upgrade potential, but I might not yet understand how this works correctly.
