Thursday 9th February & AmigaOS4 is well on it's way to completion. Hyperion release the 4th update to the Pre Release version & we get testing! This version is provided as an ISO file (This is a CD image) & as such, installation is al all in one Package. You boot from the CD, then install from the CD. If you are yet to partition your hard drive, head to further areas of IntuitionBase for a guide on setting up your hard drive (SFS Walkthrough).
After much debating as to which version of the AmigaOne to get I finally decided on a Micro A1-C, persuaded by actually being able to hold a uA1-C motherboard at the Big Bash in October- so small yet so nice! I ordered my board from Stellar Dreams shortly after the show and it arrived swiftly with OS4 and RAM. I also purchased a small case from Micro Direct which also arrived soon after ordering.
It's been a long time coming but finally OS4 has arrived (albeit in pre-release form). Not only do we have a new OS but we also have new hardware in the guise of the AmigaOne. But those nice guys over at Hyperion haven't forgotten about us "classic" users who have invested a lot of money in the PPC accelerator cards and so OS4 is also coming to the classic Amiga!
