Hi there,
A few days ago I received something special in the mail. It was a package from ACube Systems in Italy. It contained a SAM (Samantha) 440EP-Flex motherboard (with accessories) and a copy of AmigaOS 4.x in a cardboard box! π I was, as you can imagine, very happy when I unboxed the items. Seems like Old School Game Blog will go AmigaOS 4.x in 2014!!
Here’s a couple of pictures:
Now I’m looking forward to get everything up and running. I already have a graphics card I got from Alinea Computing, but still need to get a case. I have one that is designed for mini-ITX boards, but this one is flex-ATX, so it won’t fit. Hopefully I’ll get that sorted next week. π I will of course post pictures of my setup as soon as it is ready to go.
If you are interested in learning more about AmigaOS 4.x then you should head over to Amigaos.net. There you will find everything you want to know about this operating system. π
Thanks for reading and have a happy new year 2014!
Oh, awesome. Hope to see a lot of posts about your new system. You know, daily usage, how (if?) it runs a classic software, system stability, etc. π
Cheers.
