Is there any demand for AmigaOS4 then? |
Yes, Trevor said that should there be no demand for AmigaOne's that he'll stop with the X1000.
Now three new AmigaOne's are made
X3500, X5000/20 and X5000/40
Acube made specially for Amiga users a revision of the Sam 460 motherboard, the Sam 460cr and are now selling a new AmigaOne 500 based on the new board.
No demand eh ?

Commodore Amiga computers have a historical reputation that can not be changed nor achieve today. |
No shit
Why are you so being incredibly stubborn insisting that the new machines are supposedly be new "Commodore Amiga's" ?
No there aren't magical fairy chips in the machines which outperform everything else on the market. That is unrealistic and just plain dumb.
AmigaOne's are made to run AmigaOS, not to run next-gen Shadow of the Beast

That you for your personal feelings and money greedy people trying to suck money out of this is sickening to watch. |
It doesn't take rocket science to see that nobody makes money out of it and that making money isn't the primary goal.
I remember that Hyperion and for certain individuals within Hyperion has stated multiple times that they are huge Amiga fans,
Hyperion didn't have to bring out OS4, 4.1 and 4.1 FE for the 1992 Amiga 1200
Who the heck would use over 20 year old machines for modern day use ?? Amiga enthusiasts, such as Hyperion/the AmigaOS team.
Not a real big install base , 20+ year old computers with super rare PPC cards, if you ask me.
Again, A-EON lost money on the X1000, how would a machine with a out of the line military CPU be profitable ?
Ticks ? only the ignorant will see that.

Whats the point actually, an insanely expensive overpriced PPC Linux box because AOS4 have no SW and can not utilize the hardware resources?

That HW can at least get utilized by an OS still stuck in the nineties and incompatible with the Amiga._________________ Using: One Commodore C64 - One Commodore Amiga 500 - One Commodore Amiga 1200 with BVision and Blizzard 68060 with PPC coprocessor running Amiga DOS - One Hellbillylitre Amigatwox86x64x6000x running Windows7 |

Well that's probably because you're getting older and people think you don't appreciate modern technology or how to apply what you have learned over the years to todays super fast CPUs, GPUs and other gizmo's like THIS GUY does with his expensive gadget.

What good are new expensive elite machines with NO software to use? This whole model of pricey alien hardware and no games or apps makes no sense at all. |

Perhaps A-EON don't see Hyperion as being unsteady as generally percvieved and feel the money would be better spent on other developments.
There is also the possibility that Hyperion don't want to sell or the price is too high. |

Well, the "cheap" PPC option for AOS4 is 440/460.
My impression has been that Trevor built what he wanted for himself to run said OS, and opened up for others to join in on the option aswell.
People use serious money on their hobbies, be it vintage computers, barbiedolls, cars, stamps and the list goes on. Performance/usability vs price isnt always the prime argument. |

At least you don't need a magnifying glass to see its fake Amiga but when the collector is missing the brain even a wooden stick can be a doll. _________________ Using: One Commodore C64 - One Commodore Amiga 500 - One Commodore Amiga 1200 with BVision and Blizzard 68060 with PPC coprocessor running Amiga DOS - One Hellbillylitre Amigatwox86x64x6000x running Windows7 |

| Okay, even a wooden stick could be a doll but not the real doll, and wooden sticks even grow on trees.

Buying the company entails buying the debt.
According to the postings, those who contacted Amiga Inc. ran into this quandry as well.
Lawyers tend to make "unusual" requests/demands on behalf of their clients. Heh.

There won't not be any Radeon drivers if there were no PCI/PCIe express ports. There will not be any USB drivers if there were no USB ports. If there where no SATA ports, there wont be any SATA drivers.
At least having modern hardware enables newer hardware to be supported, having a computer from 90's, leaves you with computer that is limited by hardware from that time.
let's face it IDE and SCSI is pretty old technology.
And 256 colors is not a lot this days.

Way do you won't to run old program from the 90's?
Most programs from the 90's are outdated.
It's bit like trying to edit a true color picture image with PPaint, and ending up with HAM8 image, all you end up is big loss in image quality, now you might suggest to me I should use TVPaint, because it support true colors, but guess what, it does not support PNG.
The oldest program I have run on AmigaOS4.1 is LastHope from the late 80's , LastHope I used a lot on Kickstart 1.2, did not use workbench back then.
There are programs that work, but the most program from that time period is hardware dependent. And the old hardware is not that great today.
I remember having read/write errors on floppy disks, everyday back the 80's.

I assume you're talking about yourself because there's no way that could be directed to me.
Great, finally you admit that you can´t see the difference between us calling an Amiga 500 an Amiga and an AmigaOne an Amiga.
I sure can! even a child can !
But here´s the problem, you're so subborn that you don't want to learn.
Why do we still at times call an AmigaOne just an Amiga ?
Well see it like this..
For example, the very first James Bond actor is Sean Connery.
Sean, however he is way too old to star as a good James Bond anymore so the latest James Bond actor is Daniel Craig.
While the newest James Bond films may not feature Sean anymore, you can still call it a James Bond film, it has the same universe and all the same James Bond characteristics
But there are deluded people like you who think by calling the newest Daniel Craig films James Bond films is incorrect because Sean is not acting in them.
What do you want us to call them then? "a James Bondish movie which features Daniel Craig"?
Sounds dumb right ? Better just call them James Bond Movies like they are, and by that nobody in the world means an James Bond movie which features Sean Connery as Bond.
I can call my AmigaOne an Amiga, since it has all the characteristics of an Amiga, such as the early start-up menu found on all 2.x and 3.x systems, can run Amiga software, has the AmigaOS (duh), to name a few.
It only can't natively run OCS games, but thats like a just modern PC not able to run hardcoded EGA games, that doesn't mean that it isn't a PC anymore.
I'm making a video of my AmigaOne running various 68k or "real" (which doesn't make sense) Amiga programs, so you can see my AmigaOne running the 1984 Boing Ball demo made for the lorraine prototype, how much more Amiga can you get ?
And of course, by calling my AmigaOne an Amiga I don't mean that it is an machine with the OCS chipset with the 68000 cpu.
*Hillbillylitre logic* Hey guys, shouldn't be calling PC's PC's anymore, they aren't IBM 5150 compatible._________________ Best way to enjoy Amiga is without the community |

Whats called what, be it "amiga" or "doll" isnt really intresting as long as the computeruser/collector have fun using xyz equipment.
Why people get overly worked up over a simple label is beyond me. |

I wouldn't waste your breath, he is just a troll, no attempt at any constructive criticism, only destructive.
If he has so much energy to be this destructive, then maybe he could channel it into improving the situation for all Amiga flavours by producing hardware, doing repairs, writing software, etc etc. _________________ Live Long and keep Amigaing!

By the same token, modern day Apple MacIntosh hardware bears no resembleance to 68000 Macs (or PPC Macs for that matter); & while Mac OS looks similar its also very different below the surface. Yet 68000 Macs, PPC Macs and Intel based Macs are all still MacIntosh computers. As far as I am concerned calling an AmigaOne X1000 an Amiga is just as valid as calling a modern Mac a Mac. And if someone is going to argue that the AmigaOnes are not made by Commodore, well Gateway computers are made by Acer now not by Gateway, so again what is the difference. _________________ - BCP AmigaOne X1000 & Amiga 4000
