Hi New Member Here

Hello from California.

I just purchased a SAM460LE board, built a nice AOS 4.1 rig around it, and now I'm exploring. I have questions, of course, but I need to figure out where I can post them.

Anyway, I'm Kevin from California and it's nice to meet you all.

Welcome!

@kishigo

You are already right here in the forum, just ask your questions about AmigaOs4.1 and hardware. There are many nice people here with whom you can share your experiences.

Congratulations on your new AmigaNG system and have a lot of fun with it.

Welcome!

Welcome and have fun with your new board and AmigaOS.

Hi, and welcome to Amigans!

Congratulations on your new Sam460LE! Hope you'll have a lot of fun with it! I own one myself and I'm very happy with it so far.

What kind of specifications does your build have?

Welcome to you!

Have fun with Aos 4.1

@kishigo

A warm welcome from me too!

Welcome! 👍

@kishigo

hello Kevin. Welcome!!!

Thanks everybody! Yeah I'm pleasantly surprised at how capable this machine is. I'm able to use my wireless mouse and keyboard, which makes it easier to swap with my winblows machine. With a little extra money thrown in for drivers and 3D libraries I've been able to get Blender3D and some games up and running too. Up until now I've been playing with Winaue and Amiberry, which are cool, but I like having the actual hardware to play with.

Welcome in our fantastic AmigaWorld and congrats tor your new toy.

Hi Kevin from California. I'm Kevin from California as well. I have an X1000, uA1 and very soon, a A1222 on the way. I'm in northern California about 56 miles north of San Francisco. Where are you located, if you don't mind me asking?

@kishigo

Hi Kevin from California! I live about 50 miles south of LA, in Orange County. So, on the opposite end.

It's nice to meet you.

@kishigo
Welcome to amigans forum. We are glad to have you here.

Did/do you have Classic Amigas?

What drove you to AmigaOS 4? Were you exposed to it at some point somewhere, and then you decided to buy the hardware for it?

In case you have questions, we will be more than happy to help you in here. Please do not hesitate to ask questions.

@AmigaOldskooler
I got the board w/2 gigs of ram, and the following parts I got locally or from Amazon:
Godshark PCI Sata card w/SIL3114 chipset
Creative Audigy FX
Sapphire Technology AMD Radeon RX 550
Mini Tower Case
DVD Writer
It's a nice little setup. I'm pretty happy with it. How about you?

This is going to be a bit long. My Amiga journey began way back in the early 90s, when I got an Amiga 2000. I wanted a 3000, but couldn't really afford it. Eventually I got a DCTV, and I hooked up the whole shebang to my TV set. I also saved up for an '030 accelerator board, included a scsi controller. A couple of years later I got a 4000. By that time, though, Commodore was having a lot of issues. I wasn't sure how much longer they'd be in business. I started investing more in PCs. Eventually when I moved in with my then girlfriend, I sold the Amigas .

It was only late last year that I began playing with Winuae and Amiberry. I got hooked. I saw a tutorial on how to setup Winuae for Amiga 4.1, and plunked down the 35 or so dollars to download it. Somewhere along the way I found out about the SAM460LE and the (then) upcoming A1222+. I went with the SAM mostly because of the FPU. I just remember the difference it made when I had my 2000 and got the accelerator board. I'm sure I'll look into A1222 again sometime.

Hopefully, this post wasn't too boring.

I hope I am not too late ...
A very warm welcome to you !

Adding my welcome to the chorus!
