    Given how much some people will pay for antique Cyberstorm and Blizzard cards it was no surprise that ACube were overwhelmed with orders for Sam when they and Hyperion announced their OEM agreement for OS4.1

    I am not aware of just how many orders that was and I'm not prepared to guess based on a single factor like price. As long as there is no single product that is supported by all the Amiga operating systems users are forced to choose one over the other or to spend money on an additional system for the sake of the OS that doesn't run on their existing hardware.

    Having attempted to point out some reasons to port to Sam, I most certainly recognise the value of porting to PPC Macs. But I also wonder if some potential new MorphOS users will be turned off by having to source 2nd hand hardware despite how affordable it is.
    PPC assembly ain't so bad... ;)
