But as it says, it's only currently offered for AmigaOne boards, and is indeed the LAST release for those boards. Future releases will be for to be announced hardware.

Please provide a link to the source of your ASSUMPTION that this release is "indeed the LAST release for those boards".

Otherwise please do not spread rumor and opinion as fact here.  I am sick of how some people twist every bit of information released into something more than it actually is without facts and confirmation (something the Amiga community is full of due to a lack of communication).   :getmad:

Not at all.

It's the last version of OS 4.0.

Future versions will be 4.1 or 4.0.5 etc.

Future versions will be for AmigaOnes and the new hardware

If there is going to be hardware to run on then my money is on the Sam440.

Please don't start about the Efika because it's an underpowered piece of hardware.

They said they might release some boingbag updates though.

It is very cheap though...  I myself would not mind one, since OS4 would fly on that hardware anyways and there arent really much cpu intensive software around for os4 yet..

Well....I wonder why the price of PowerMac G4/G5's is going up. Pray Tell someone is stockpiling for the OS4 release.

Or is it another PPC board or more A1 boards stockpiled or some other Second hand hoard of P4 based boards, all recons.....at a price your dumb enough to pay.

Lession 1. in how to make money from second hand hardware.

Find another bunch of mugs dumb enough to buy a 2nd hand piece of ancient hardware at New retail prices, and keep em thinking a new Amiga OS will be available soon

Has this happened before ?....na of course not, never, not in a million years, not a chance.  

As the saying goes make me a liar ....
