Yes IMHO this is similar to the problem ARM servers and desktops still being so niche. It needs to be understood that the R&D budget for this motherboard will not be spread across hundreds of thousands of people. I don’t think 500 Euros it much for what is essentially a custom low-volume motherboard. I understand ACube is a small manufacturer, and I’m not at all saying they have much of a choice, but almost €500 to be able to run Amiga OS 4 is a lot to ask of newcomers. This seems like a very large bug-fix and stability release, but since AmigaOS 4 is so hard to find proper hardware for, it’s difficult to keep up with the state of the platform.ĪCube did announce a new batch of Sam460cr boards that can run Amiga OS 4, but I doubt it will be many, and the pricing is, as with everything Amiga OS 4, not exactly cheap. The update is the combined effort of four years of AmigaOS development and will bring AmigaOS4.1 Final Edition to a completely new level of stability and usability. Update 2 is by far the largest update ever released for AmigaOS and includes more than 200 updated components with hundreds of bug fixes, improvements and new features and six completely new OS components. Hyperion Entertainment is proud to announce the immediate release of update 2 for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition.
