People upgrading or updating for OS4 ?

[Darth_X]

I'll happily run Linux on it until AOS4 comes out.

Which may be fine for a power user as yourself, but it doesn't compare to the Amiga A1200 experience. Plug-in, turn on.. boot up. You don't even need a hard drive (though its nicer with one). And software runs off floppy. Wouldn't a modern system with bootable CD-ROMs have similar functionality? :-D

For myself, I prefer to NOT touch Linux at all. I'm NO fan of Linux. (Of ALL the operating systems Linus had to copy.. he had to choose to make a UNIX clone when he really should have developed an AmigaOS clone. Oh well..)


Anyway, several years ago I preordered a Cyberstorm PPC accelerator card (Paid around $1500 for it & $400 for the 060 CPU).

It worked nicely, however, there was no software that supported the PPC, so I eventually sold it (then like 2 months after I sold it software for PPC appeared! Go figure!).

I have a 1200T (030 25Mhz 8MB) and a 1200D (030 40Mhz ??MB well flaky).
the Lack of BPPC (and the lack of point getting one of these) means I will get an A1.
I would have had my G3SE by now (d'oh !) but changed me mind when I heard about the XE. I really fancied that G4 on a seperate CPU card !
I like the idea of the SE-Lite, but that isnt under consideration. I could have one in a year or 3 as a 2nd machine, but I'd have to get rid of another of my computers, and I dont wanna do that ! :-(
I'm still after an original Sinclair QL, but I'd probably have to sneak that in the house ! :-o ;-)

Pre-Ordered an A1 XE G4.

Hopefully when OS4 get released and the SharkPPCs go into production I shall buy a Entry G3 Shark for my creaky old A1200T / Mediator.

@ AGAFaster... Go your tickets for April 8th yet  :-D  :-D  :-D

[Agafaster]

Naaah they sold out [color=990000]Ages[/color] ago !!

I went to the home game though - sat in the Brian Clough lower - not as good as the Trent End !

On't telly int it ?

CU in the Prem !

[Atheist]

This is the machine I've been waitng forever for. Well, only since the beginning of the Universe, anyway. So, it's not really that long now.

Initially, I'll have the A1 XE 800MHz, with 2 Gigs. ram., 160 Meg CF, 750 Meg Zip drive, and I need to find out if RAID is supported. Pre-ordered, partial prepaid. Board in about 3 months from now. If I get an accelerator for my A2000, I'll just get 3.1 for it.

How about this question,

Q. Are there any hotdogs out there that will set up their computer to boot off of a 256 Meg. Compact Flash card? No HD, heh heh!!

AmigaOne! 16 Meg CF!!!!! SHOWOFF :-D

BTW, remember how SW used to come on floppies, imagine 32 meg CFs being the cheap norm.

[Revener]

When OS 4.0 is realeased I will buy a AOne, G4 of course  :-D

[alphonsus]

Put my A1200 in a new tower case (the old one is naff) and use my BlizzPPC to run OS4

[rawveeda]

I'm waiting for OS4...and waiting and waiting....(just like everyone else)
then I will be waiting and waiting for the SHARK PPC.....

I  have my A4K in a Power Tower/Mediator setup
and I still need access to my Video Toaster

os4 came free with my amigaone so now all i gotta do is wait for it to come through my mailbox  :-D

[PulsatingQuasar]

Check my signature!!!!

I will also get it for the BlizzardPPC though when it comes available. Will be quite interresting to see that.

[Ni72ous]

when all is finished i will get an AOne and OSA4, dont care what AOne, G3, G4 dont mind as long as its an new Amiga.

not possible here as os4 can not support my g-rex4000...
also i believe that the old cyberstorms are way too unstable to be able to run a ppc native os on it for more than a couple of minutes. we all know the heating-problems and instability problems.

>- buy an AmigaOne + OS4

already done so (ordered) ;-)

byebye...

[sicky]

Have pre-ordered my AmigaONE G4 but would also be interested to see how OS4 runs on my current Blizzard PPC setup, will also keep this system until everything runs 100% smoothly and error free. To be honest I don't know if I will ever get rid of my current setup - we go back a long way together.

[Quixote]

Elwood enthused:

Just to know, what will you do ? :

;-) Since my A4000 is already equipped with a 233Mhz CyberStorm III 604e processor, I’ll be buying Amiga OS 4 for it, first.  Once I’ve played around with it for a while, I may or may not purchase an AmigaOne, depending.

Hopefully, that’s a decision I’ll have to face real soon, instead of months from now…

[poweramiga2002]

I too am keeping my A1200 ppc system will buy os4 for it as well have bought everything  new for the A1 will sit them side by side just on different comp tables my imac goes to the kids to play with

[redcougar]

First SharkPPC and OS4.. after that, if I have loose money, I could buy an A1..
