I haven't used OS 4.0 Classic so I wouldn't know but from what I've read lots of people was dissapointed and that's a shame, really. Hmm... What about giving it another try then? Like I said I'm happy with it on my amigaone and people seems to be enjoying it on their SAMs.
Hi,
@HotRod,
I have a classic Amiga 1200, no graphics card, so I am stuck running OS 4.1 on it in AGA mode. I also have a Blizzard PPC 240 mhz for OS 4.1. which takes approximately 2 and one half minutes to load up almost 1 minute slower than windows XP. Now on my A1200 running on OS 3.9 it boots up in 30 seconds and can run Aminet 18 modplayer while I play one of my favorite games Soliton (I pick this game because it is on both OS's) If I try to play Aminet 18 on OS 4.1 the modplayer freezes up the system on loading, but I have mods that I have transferred over and play them on OS 4.1's SimplePlay. Now listening to my mods with SimplePlay and running Soliton is like slow, the system just can't handle it. Constant freeze ups and constant stalling with the cards. I do not have this problem with OS 3.9.
Now I don't know what an AmigaOne can do because I really don't like buying old archaic junk. PPC's to me are old archaic and dead. The reason I have my PPC is because I bought it when I thought the PPC's where going to be the thing of the future for the Amiga back in 1995 (if I remember right) I paid $399 for it at Software Hut. Heck it has been so long I may even be wrong on the price. Then I waited for OS 4.0 to come out, then when it did come out my Amiga was in storage in the Attic, since I had to move to Pennsyltucky with my job. So now that I have it and now that I have used it I am highly disappointed with the PPC's operation, multi-tasking and sound reproduction. As I said I cannot rate the AmigaOne because it to is an orphan computer. I wanted to say dead but some people still have them and use them. Will I put OS 3.0 back on my A1200, for now no, I have my A4000 using OS 3.9, and my A1200 will run OS 4.1 for now, so I can see what it will do.
