I have tried to contact ACube with no luck to find out how to procure the 2015 Sam 460ex UBoot update. Their online shop appears to have been offline for sometime. Would appreciate if anyone can provide contacts details or suggest another place to purchase the update (if any).

Cheers

Why is it that in such a small market where every customer must be counted, we hear so many stories about companies not talking to customers???

It is somewhat sad but I will give the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully someone from ACube will see my request from here. I wished they would make the purchase available via other means if they do not wish to continue to sell it. I was going to purchase earlier but there were some having problems with it so I was going to see how it all panned out before buying, meanwhile I upgraded to X5000. Just refurbishing and playing with my SAM now. Amazing how much you forget in a couple of years!

The Acube Store seems to be back online.

@Spectre660
Thanks but Max contacted me and helped me out, very much appreciated. To you also for following up. I know have my SAM able to dual boot to AOS4.1 and Morphos.

Ah ha.
Max & Acube as helpful as always .

@trixie

You have absolutely right, I mailed in the past to Acube, that was not easy, their shop was not working, that thing were the money comes from... :(

Oops, I remember something: I filled in a form on a website of a large Amiga company with a question of the availability of a product. Guess what ? No answer after 4 days, and no not in my spam ;:(

@benny & all
anybody had more luck ordering something from their site ?

I can order and try to pay but then i get ..

acube-systemsbiz.serversicuro.it is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

hi! yes i just try myself and it not working same error as you !

I recently acquired a second hand Sam460ex. How do I tell if I have the latest uboot version?

And how do you get it to dual boot MorphOS/AmigaOS?

I have been trying to contact ACube, I need a backplate for the board as it was missing, but they ignore all contacts I can find for them. Has anyone contacted them successfully lately?

@NinjaCyborg

If you have a boot-screen like the one on the webpage I linked to below, you have the latest Uboot on Sam 460. :)

https://acube-systemsbiz.serversicuro. ... -sam460-amigaone-500.html

Thanks yes it seems to look like that... are there any of the optional settings that you recommend to turn on?

@NinjaCyborg

Sorry but we don't find any email from you in our mailbox.

Using MOS and OS4 on the same HD is not easy. The only solution would be using the Parthenope boot loader.
You can find some information here : http://elwoodb.free.fr/articles/Sam440/debian.html

A simpler alternative is to install one of these OS on a SD card connected to the Sam460.

The other alternative is to use 2 different disks, one with OS4, one with MOS and you switch between them.

For the backplate can you send me a photo of the rear of the board? Just to be sure.

Send it to the email address I give you in PM.

Thanks

Here there is a new firmware update from Acube for all the Sam440-flex board:

That's really cool. Maybe as a separate topic?
