So sad soft3D (Italians, may read it as Acube software division) DID it, but it became illegal and dropped just because of process with . Now when SAM`s are back they don`t even mention it, as well as MOS has taken it over. But more PPC h/w avail for AOS, that`s better. And Moana needs sound and net drivers so is unusable.
Well, I suppose ACube doesn`t want cheap PPC hardware avail as competition to himself. No one is brave to make needed drivers. And its all about older OS 4.0 version.
@vojinvidanovic79 This can be true on "newest" hardware but... what about the older one? I mean, what if i would like to use older hardware with an operating system which is indeed supported? It's a faulty commercial strategy, i think. Let's take a look on ACube incomes... if they're going to support a strong community, don't you think that this could raise their income?
Well they don`t make PPC Macs, first hand it would mean most of Acube potential customers would go for PPC Macs. But Hyperion would get the income and pay soft3d for their work. At long run, SAM is nice, just needs more customers to lower the price, and there will be none without good software for OS4. Sounds like a dead loop, but in reality it is essential to support both hardware and software NOW.
@vojinvidanovic79 You're absolutely right. But i'm sure that if they're going to support the community with technology-convergent projects, well... they're going to acquire new customers. Hyperion, ACube and Soft3d. Everyone. I believe that even in business/industrial applications they'll get more customers. Anyway, we just don't know, so... i strongly agree with you when you say that is essential to support hw & sw now.
@vojinvidanovic79 Right. I hope (and i believe that this will happen) that someday a great platform will rise again. Far from philosophy of gigahertz and "horsepower", but something that is PERSONAL computing.
at xanvision, it is a torrent downloadable, as in, the only legal OS4 AFAIK is on SAm, A1, Micro and pegasos 2, then theres OS4 for classic. So anyone thinking about doing this, is effectively desperate for a laptop to run OS4, which is quiet understandable. IMHO though, Hyperion and Acube should get their asses into gear, and have a laptop or netbook version to sell. Either that, or as mood77 says, make it legal. Cheers
... to OS 3.0. Check OS 4.0 advancements. And don`t forget we have BIOS (Uboot) too now which steals some time, and no KS in ROM. OS 4.x boots blazingly fast and is AmigaOS of today.
Same Moana loader?

@vojinvidanovic79 Yes, i can sadly confirm. I'm italian too and it's a pity that Soft3D did it but it was ILLEGAL?! I mean... WTF?!

Well, I have already seen many "superb projects" since Amiga walker time,
and learned only few see day of light. SAM`s are tested, working and nice boards,
overpriced because of low volumes, but best availiable new at this time. Also AmigaOS
needs to be selling to be kept development

True Amiga Zen, my Italinan friend, I would undersign anytime. It`s not ego booster,
it`s I&I in control ("We run things, things nah run we"). It was the time computers
were personal and not for all. Temporarily working on sensless machine dubbed "personal"
and stolen GUI OS called "Windows". They even don`t have much ideas, but figure building .....

Needs an Amiga tag. Most people don't know what OS4 is.
