Who is getting the A1222 Plus?

I wonder where those p1022 have been stored all that time. If not stored under the right environmental conditions then the tin balls will have oxidation. And this will lead to unreliable solder joints.

My plan is to sell Pegasos 2 and buy an A1222+ and let the dream continue..

Double post. Sorry.

I know that will be the case with me. When I get my Tabor up and going I plan to try and find a home for my uA1. I plan to try and find some who doesn't have an OS4 machine, and can't afford to buy one, to give it too.

I tried selling my A1XE a few years ago on Amibay and got zero interest, so I don't know what the market is for older machines.

@daveyw

I think the second-hand market is pretty good now. Although there are seldom AmigaOS 4 compatible computers for sale on eBay and other platforms, I have seen those listed on AmiBay in 2022 and 2023 go quickly. The last one I saw on AmiBay (in July) was an X5000 which sold in a day or two. I sold my Sam setup recently to get funds for the A1222+ and it took only five days, so very happy about that. Maybe you should try re-listing your XE if you still want to sell it?

What?.....you don't think my giving away a uA1 will create a riot in Niew York City like the video influencer that announced giving away PlayStationd?

New York Riot over Playstation give away.

It really depends on the final price.

@yssing

Are you expecting the price to go up?

IIRC, the final price will be significantly higher than the Early Adopter pre-order which I sadly missed.

But since it won't be a quantum leap to a Sam460, I am not that interested anyway.

@skygecko

Unless the execSG team announces the availability of multicore support. Then you'll get twice the speed of a sam460

@LiveForIt

Well yes, this is amiga land :)

@geennaam

That might boost the sales of all available PPC hardware, sure would make the value of an x5000/40 much higher.

@livebyfaith74

Yes, that would be a reason for me to buy a x5000/40. For now I cannot justify the price for an addition 10% clock speed compared to my x5000/20

@geennaam Have there been any updates at all from ExecSG about timelines?

I have no connections to either the execSG or amigaos4 team.

Last update that I know of was Amiga 37 which you can find on YouTube.

I couldn't afford the X5000 and I'm on the Early Adopters list, so I'll be definitely getting one, providing that the price isn't ridiculous.

I tried AmigaOS 4 for Classic under WinUAE and i was quite disappointed by the fact that apps crashed like under AmigaOS 3. I then realized that it can’t be your primary OS without an up to date browser and even Morphos which is in better shape still can’t be used as a primary OS so what the point then? I then decided to buy a V4SA+ under 3.2.2.1 and I’m home.

@Kamelito

The difference between running AmigaOS 4 under WinUAE and on dedicated hardware is huge. Have you had a chance to test it running on an AmigaOne X5000 or perhaps one of the Sam models? It is much more stable and faster on those than under emulation.

@All

With Amiga38 and AmiWest coming up in the October, I was wondering if someone had heard anything concerning a possible A1222 Plus release on one of those events?

@Kamelito

Installing a new OS, does not fix bugs in old software.

The OS only finds the bugs faster, so you can report it to app developers, that’s if they are around to fix the bugs.
