far less put up with the fact that this is basically a refurbished Linux board
Considering the latest announcements from genesi its not the A1 but the pegasos that looks like a "linux board" ;-)
And you NEED that A1. OS4 just won't run on anything else.
OS4 will run on Classic PPC Amigas and there are a lot of people who will use it on their A1200/4000s. And I think 99% of them would also have tried out Morphos on their Classics if it had come for free like bbrv once announced.
