AmigaOS 4.1 on A4000D

[LordSpunky]

I've had this crazy idea of the last few weeks that I'm thinking about buying AmigaOS 4.1 Classic for my A4000.
But I just wanted to know if anyone is running OS4.1 on classic hardware.
I've read the min hardware requirements and in theory at the moment I don't comply.
However, I plan to upgrade the RAM in my Cyberstorm to 128MB, if I can find another pair of 32MB SIMM's. I could also swap out my 4GB CF card and put a normal HDD in to overcome my storage issue.

Is there anything else to consider? Will OS4.1 install direct from the Kickstart screen? Will it need OS3.1 still on it?

AH balls yeah - sorry - where is my head at? Kinda thought I already had a PPC.....but I've got an 68040 doh!!!!!!!!!! - Fail.....hmmm a PPC? May have to sell the kids and mortgage the house then!

Hi, yeah I tried to join the Hyperion forum but as I haven't bought it yet I couldn't register. I missed that important PPC bit........my head was in the clouds thinking yeah well I've got a Cyberstorm so that covers it.........
The price of buying a PPC card for my A4000 will now stop be buying it. Shame, kinda wanted to show support and have a play with it.

Nice.....either way - unless I win the Lottery and can afford to buy a PPC for my A4000.......or someone creates a new retro fit PPC card (Hello geeks and Amigakit....) I won't be running OS4.1......hmmmm shame......so the last working non-PPC Amiga OS is? 3.9?

@Jose & wawrzon - fair comments, maybe I'll stick to OS3.x - still running 3.1 so may look at either 3.5 or 3.9 if I can find a copy. Then one day I'll look into a Sam.
Would still like to take the 4000 on the net......sure I'll searched this route before - Zorro ethernet cards are hard to find. I'm sure I looked into a Deneb USB controller and then get a USB - Ethernet dongle and job done.....max out my RAM - upgrade complete.
