Amiga & AROS So we finally meet! You can't imagine how hard I've tried to get my hands on a machine that could run AmigaOS 4 in all its glory. I've never used the Amiga before - not during its heydays, and not during its afterglow - so it meant an unexplored world for me. You can imagine my excitement when ACube Systems, makers of the sam440ep board that runs AmigaOS 4.1, offered a review machine to me, built around their own PowerPC sam440ep flex motherboard.

ACube does not actually produce the hardware. The boards are evaluation kits bought from AMCC and receive only slight modifications from ACube (overclocking and apparently also some extra memory).

EDIT: Of course they also assemble ACube systems which contain harddisk, graphics card and so on. But the board itself is designed by AMCC which btw. is a fabless company. So production no, assembling yes. To be as accurate as possible.
