| I got my Micro-A1 about a week ago. Finally got it working after desparately seeking any documentation I could find. I haven't got any support from Software Hut at all, not even a scrap of paper with installation instructions. There's nothing on their web site. You'd think after paying $900 they would offer something. I did find there are sources of info.
I've found out some interesting things. 1-The motherboard seems like a very nice mature product. 2-AOS4 is very cool. 3-The native version of UEA is totally useless at this point. 4-The lack of a floppy introduces some challenges. 5-Hooking up to a PC with Samba is not too difficult.
I'm writing a simulation game similar to Monopoly with a focus on real estate development.

Great to have another developer onboard. The SDK is quite mature if still lacking in some areas (e.g. docs and no profiler support). I would suggest posting any developer related questions to AmigaDEV and UtilityBase.
If you have any commercial software in mind you may also want to contact TimDG@hyperion-entertainment.biz for early access to updates, etc._________________

Assuming you purchased your board from Software Hut, send an email to joe@softhut.com and ask that he email you the pdf file of the documentation for the motherboard. I did and he sent it to me the next day. It's actually very good documentation. I don't know why they don't send it with the boards. Last edited by ktadd on 01-Feb-2005 at 05:49 PM.

Congrats!
The installation guide is here: www.os4.co.uk
Remember to use buffers500 blocksize2048 and long filenames.
Do you have installed update2 already? _________________
