DDR memory and IDE devices are easily available from larger stores, too.


Repairs are easily available from apple service providers. It certainly is much better situation than with any custom amiga HW which you need to ship out to another country or worse to another continent.

Yes, but SATA is more easily avail, good Apple service for me is at US while Acube is in Italy. Everything is possible, and it isn`t, but lats say but MOS was late (and OS 4.0 is a hack) for MacMini. Good choice, users should enjoy such variety of operating systems and nice product. Its great MOS will be avail for more and more PPC Macs and I could only wish AmigaOS 4 goes the same. Or that they finaly make one operating system out of them - dubbed AmigaOS 5 :-)

Hello!

My name is Vojin, I am 32 years old social worker and teacher assistant at University, Belgrade, Serbia. I am Amiga user since my first Amiga 1200 and currently am registered user of OS 4.1. Am interested in OS from ordinary user perspective, willing to support software by purchase and community ideas, as well as regional (Ex-Yugoslavia, Balkan) and local (Serbia) Amiga scene that was also quite strong back in 90s even it was difficult time in Balkans.

AW.net and Amigans.net users know me already, but I decided not to use both sites for moderation policies such as thread locking and unequal treatment of users without public policy. Some users remember me for help, other for trolling (but in fact stabborn defence).

Hope here will be better, no more community websites to go! :laughing:

Welcome aboard, always nice to have someone new!

[klx300r]

welcome aboard mate:)

looks like Piru & the Apple loving gang already gave you their sort of welcome:roflmao:

[klx300r]

the only good thing about an apple machine running amigaos is amigaos itself.

+ 1,000,000 & welcome aboard :pint:

btw, no Apples ever allowed in my house or business either !!!

Thanks!
Apple must have inserted some addictive supstance in iMac Apple port

Thanks. I like the fact its all Amiga users at one place. On Amigans.net I would be sanctioned for saying the MOS word, while I am out of AW.net because I feel they protect CUSA boys too much.

Waiting for X1000 ... if your wait is prolongued, would you consider buying SAM 460, I am intersted to see how this waiting is influencing people :-)

You lose second core that is not supported anytime soon and XMOS which is not anything that special. Truth is 460 CPU is no monster compared to PAT, but quite decent and much faster then 440 or AmigaOne G3 for sure. Or PPC expanded classic. PCI-E, DDR2 and SATA is there, integrated 2D and RadeonHD 3D. Also you get a lot money left, system can be built for eur 1 200. I cant make it, but you can. If you give plus 200 eur for monitor, you could have machine that would by everything but P3 1Ghz CPU be near any decent PC of today.

[Piru]

SATA is there

Onboard SATA isn't supported yet.

RadeonHD 3D

RadeonHD 3D isn't there yet.

If you're saying what I think you're saying you've gotta be kidding me.

Eventualy will be. Please open a new threat MacMini vs SAM 460 or such :-) OK?

[wawrzon]

omg. mos team repeatedly stated there will be no mos for sam or x1k for that matter. get aros if you must. and better change your attitude a little once youve left os4.. get some downer.

noo because I don't mind waiting for the X1000 as I've been waiting for it for since 1994:afro:....saying that I loved my Samflex@800 and have all due respect for ACube for delivering quality hardware with awesome support to us amigans worldwide!

OK, SAM 460 will remain most powerful board availiable, and overall in some aspects (not the CPU, or until software gets optimized for it) until X1000 is realised.

@Get some downer attitude

Why? SAM 460 and Natami - news people have been waiting for years!

perhaps i missed some breaking news. thought i was following close enough..

[paolone]

Yet it was no problem to get the expensive Sam board? You can get MorphOS compatible Mac + license with 1/4 of the Sam price.

There might be other reasons not to buy that Mac Mini he doesn't want to introduce here, maybe because he wouldn't like to start a silly flame war. Making questions about someone else's budget and the way he/she prefers to spend it is rude and unfair. Please don't go on this way.
