if you hate sam and amiga that much why dont you take your crappy eifka and stay on the morphos forums?. we dont need you here to spread your fud. to make it crystal clear once and for all, this is an AMIGA site and not morpohs site!

SAM440 is not an Amiga.  It's a Linux box, it's a AROS box, it's clearly NOT an Amiga.

... that just happens to be able to run Amiga OS 4.1. That makes it an Amiga in my view.

You can call a beer can an Amiga if you want, won't make it so.  By your same POV, guess when I run AF on a x86, that makes that x86 an Amiga by your standards?

You called it a Linux box because it can run Linux, and an AROS box because AROS also runs on it. Amiga OS 4.1 also runs on it (natively), so by what leap of logic is it not also an "Amiga box"?

Eventually I will be able to run AROS 68K natively on an Amiga 68K.  Does that mean the Amiga is now an AROS box?  If I run Linux on a Amiga (Amiga 68K or AmigaOne), does that mean it's no longer an Amiga but a Linux box?  An Amiga is a licensed product, like it or not.  I most certainly do not like the current owners of the Amiga IP, but I do respect their property rights.

My question to you dammy is, why are you trying to pick a fight with smart and intelligent people like HANS, who know what they are talking about??

Because he is not being intellectually honest by calling it something it's clearly not?

You going to be in the court room on the 20th for us?  After the 20th, we all may know what is going to happen to OS4.  As for SAM440, from what I've been reading, it's a decent mobo but with the buck:bang ratio, it's not going to set the world on fire with sales.

BTW, I left you a PM.
