Requirements for running OS 4.1
« on: September 21, 2008, 05:49:52 AM »
Good afternoon,

I was wondering how the SAM440ep is supposed to work to run OS4.1 Is it a board that plugs into an Ami or a PC slot?

The Sam 440ep is a complete motherboard.  You just need to assemble the rest of the parts (keyboard, mouse, hard drive, dvd drive,case, etc...) and then load up the OS 4.1 CD to install.

It's a standalone motherboard so it doesn't plug into anything.

You build a system around it like you would with any X86 board, or you buy a complete system pre-built.

Ok, so it's like a PC then? I was looking to build a few OS4.1 boxes for the TV station I work for to assist in graphics manipulation.

OK, this might seem like a silly question, but why do you want to use Sam440ep/OS4.1 for this? You dont expect the Sam440ep to have video-out, like the real amigas, do you?
