Today I have written a blog entry showing the new firmware upgrade released by Acube Systems for the Sam460CR, installed today on my Sam 460CR!
thanks as always for a great read. i'm glad to see progress is being made, but, at least in my view, asking customers to pay for a firmware update is really over the top. i hope the performance improvements, though, at least help justify the cost.

I notice differences in the partition layout between AmigaOS 4.1 and MorphOS .
AmigaOS low cyl starts at 43 . Morphos at 4.

there are some oddities. for example i have problems with partitions created under MOS in AOS4, but the reverse isn't true. so i always create SFS0 partitions to share between the two systems under AOS4 on my peg2. i have no idea why this is the case.

i've paid more than that for PCs in the immediate past, yes. some gaming rigs can cost a fortune. and at least two in the past decade died and required a $1,000+ replacement of components. so it can happen anywhere.

Do we know who is actually providing the cloud service ?   is it a well known company or a start-up ?

it's a product/service from pascal papara, the guy behind the indie-go "app store" as well as an AROS distro, pre-built PCs with AROS, etc. he goes by phoenixkonsole on the forums.

Looks noisy.

it's not. although i did replace the included CPU fan anyway (i had a spare blacksilent pro in the correct size), it's not loud at all. :)

I made a news item about the updates/news you mention. I described AmiPDF as "new in this release", since I never heard it mentioned in conjunction with the Enhancer package. I assume you describing it as "an update" refers to the original version that's part of AmigaOS 4.1?
correct. it's an update based on the same source code.
