I think I read it in a thread on AW.net. I've no idea what's coming, but I suppose there will be some news about the Sam440, which we know by now runs Linux, hopefully we'll find out when we can expect the board to be available with OS4.
@afxgroup I hope we don't wait of a machine, where only work linux. We need a new OS4 computer with a license, that's clear. I wish all developers of os4 hardware all the best and i hope they will get a os4 license from Amiga Inc. and Hyperion.
@chris ArtEffect will only released, if new OS4 hardware is available.

I think Samantha will first appear on the market only with Linux, but that will happen in a few weeks. Samantha with OS4 might still take a while and until the discussions between Hyperion and Amiga Inc. have ended.
I still think that some peoples will already order Samantha only with Linux. The hardware looks very interesting, especially the integration of a FPGA!
For the release of Samantha with OS4, I hope that we still hear something this year. Maybe before or around Christmas? Otherwise it might be too late because many peoples have left.
@Helge Sorry to say that, but I think Sam without OS4 is nothing. We need OS4 for that or it is unusable. I will never buy a Sam without AmigaOS4, thats sure. Many Amigans thinking the same.
Don't get me wrong, I am also mainly interested in OS4 and I don't have much interest in SAM if it NEVER runs OS4. But I still think it's interesting hardware.

But maybe we should buy it when it is released to get familiar with the hardware. We can use the time to buy expansions and develop better and more drivers. When OS4 is then released for Samantha, let's say around Christmas, we have a very polished system.
Some years ago we have done the same with the AmigaOne. When we bought it, it was only running Linux. Most peoples waited patiently, some less patiently, for OS4 to run on it. With SAM it would be not much different.

And if not?

So i can safely add me to the people that WILL wait for a hardware that actually CAN run AmigaOS4.
Same problem was with Pegasos hardware. Back then the dealers said, yes, it will, one time, be able, most surely, if not really maybe, run OS4. If i had fallen for that i would have had (well not anymore, i' d sold it since then) hardware i can't/won't use for the purpose i'd bought it.
