Good Stuff!

Wonder what it means to the average Amigan though?

No cause is lost if there is but one fool left to fight for it.

It means absolutely nothing to the average Amigan unless SAM runs OS4.
At the moment it doesn't look it for 2007 and ACube isn't even capable to release OS4 for the CyberstormPPC althought they already made some advertising for it.

Delivering the promises? We'll see...

Yes, but it doesn't look as if the lawsuit will be finished in this year.
Without a court decision, Hyperion and ACube will not be able to do anything.
And even if the court decides, it is not clear if it decides in favour of Hyperion.

To be honest, the chance that we will see OS4 on SAM this year is very small.

Do you know when SAM will be available for normal consumers? I am not sure if they have already sold some boards to any peoples!?

@Helge

There are reasons for the delay of the classic version, but not what you might think.

Seriously, if you do want to contact me write me a mail. You're more likely to get a reply then.

If the reasons for the delay are only that it is not yet finished, then GREAT! Even if that might sound strange after 6 years of waiting.

I was afraid that it is not released because of the legal stuffs. That would be sad because the bl**dy lawsuit might still take some time and I can't wait anymore!
Excuse my ignorance but I thought that it was nearly finished because there were already talks about the packaging and other things in some interview.

Do you already have an ETA for the CD-pressing of the CyberstormPPC versions? Keep up the good works!

Hi Mikey_C,

How did everyone overlook this and how exciting is THIS!????

AND check out this (pages 4, 20) PDF!!! (It's only 1 Meg.)

They say that the 440 has an FPU, is that different than Altivec? This is a HUGE blow to lose Altivec.

How to program: 1. Start with lots and lots of 0's. 10. Add 1's, liberally.

Isn't Altivec the same as a FPU, just with a fancier name?

Altivec is a 128bit vectorial unit, is much more than a FPU. Altivec enables software can receive a huge boost (DvPlayer, dnet....).

PA Semi mobos have Altivec too.

On OS X is also used to accelerate quartz making the system very responsive.

No, Altivec allows certain kinds of operations to work on many items of data simultaneously. So called SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data). It is very handy for processing/decoding sound, images & video.

But programs need to be designed & compiled with Altivec in mind.

I guess we will know what that is when the time is right.

Maybe the reason is less mysterious than some peoples think:

It is not ready yet!

I didn't know this. So what do they use now with the Intels? Is there something similar to Altivec? Because OS X is still very fast on Intels.

On X86 you have MMX and more recently SSE. If OSX didn't run fast on multi Ghz multi-core processors something would be very wrong, multimedia extensions or not.

LOL! I think Rogue prefers wine, but his brother Enthilza likes beer very much. He was the one with the beer mug in the avatar, do you remember?

If it was only the packaging, I could do with just the Cdrom. And the beer is no problem anyways, because it gives OS4 a great smell! BeerOS4!
