Lecta's Den

Premise: the following picture is absolutely true. I took the screenshot while investigating a server that was reported to be very slow. All this mess happened in a couple of weeks.

After so many years of debating, one of the biggest misteries of the universe is finally unveiled…

The Sam460ex board

ACube Systems unveiled their next mainboard: the Sam460ex.

The board is the third product in the 4×0 series after the Sam440ep and the Sam440ep-flex. Sporting the AMCC 460ex SoC processor it features modern technologies like PCI-Express, Gigabit ethernet, USB 2.0. A full list of features has been published on the above link.

Debian Linux already runs on the pre-production board (screenshots here, here, here, here and here). While AmigaOS 4.1 support has not been officially announced so far, it’s very likely that work is already in progress on a port for this board.

ACube Systems will attend the Amiga 25th Anniversary Vintage Computer Fair in London and chances are high that we will see a first version of AmigaOS 4.1 running on the Sam460ex.

At the same event A-EON technologies will demonstrate, for the first time, the new High End Amiga One X1000 running AmigaOS 4.1.

June 2010 will probably be remembered in the (tormented) History of the Amiga Platform.
