Absolutely, granted my finances were in order before they all sold out. Hyperion’s support would be a plus but not crucial. I have old 98/dos boxes and I have no support for them they just work in the places I need them.
Another crazy thought. Couldn’t this Amiga system make a good secure file sharing box? Does os4 network with windows?
I mean secure as in Apple, like low numbers mean low number of attacks. Maybe sell as file servers were money is not an issue. IE Large Business/government/medical/ of course military spec military lol.

I would consider it if it were powerful enough to play back Xvid/Divx videos at a decent resolution. If it could also play  old Amiga games via the FPGA then I would almost certainly buy one.

I'm thinking of buying one of these:

http://www.gumstix.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27&products_id=178

For $169 (£85)... it's the size of a stick of gum, it runs at 600MHz, has 128Megs of RAM and 32meg of Flash... now that is worth it for an embedded device ;-)

I'd buy from Amiga inc if they finaly honour one of there agreements. As long as they're trying to do the dirty on Hyperion, after all the time they've put into os4 and the support to the community, I wouldn't even consider them.

I will start by purchasing the classic version of os4, then eventually new hardware(but not the lower spec because will already have classic)
Started with a zx81,
wanted a c64
Ended up with an Electron with plus 3
Traded up to an Amiga 500
Traded up with a Amiga 1200
now in a ICS tower(Amigo+ppc240 with blizz+128ram)

Get a lower power rated ARM/XScale SOC type thingy and power it from the fuel cell. How about that?

Hey bloodline,

I know this is off-topic but thanks for the link on gumstix. Now that's something to read about.

There is no reason to buy one. Maybe if it has the option to put a 3GHz PPC cpu and fruity loops is running on it natively.


Anyway i will surely buy os4 but for classic amiga only.
Amiga 500: 68030@14MHz/68882@40MHz/ 5.5MB RAM/80MB HDD/Delfina FE Sound card/Kickstart 3.1/OS 3.1

Macmini 10,1 PPC 1.58GHz, 1GB Ram, 80GB HDD 5400rpm, Ati Radeon 9200/32MB, , MorphOs 3.1

PowerBook 15" PPC 1.67GHz, 2GB Ram, 250GB HDD, ATI 9700/128MB, MorphOS 3.1
