`21.Oct.2007` Amigaworld.net (Web page)	AmiWest 2007: AmigaOS 4 for PowerUp on November 30 In the course of AmiWest in Sacramento, which takes place this weekend, Steven Solie has announced, at the request of AmigaOS 4 developer Hans-Jörg Frieden, that starting from November 30, AmigaOS 4 will be availabe for Amiga computers with PowerUp accelerator cards. The Amiga models 1200, 3000, 4000 and 4000T are supported, provided that they are equipped with a BlizzardPPC or CyberStormPPC card. An existing AmigaOS installation is not required, merely a hard disk as well as a floppy disk and a CD drive. When booting from the enclosed floppy disk, the CD-ROM driver will be loaded. Should a system already be installed, the installation can be started directly from the CD as well. Upon an inquiry on supported expansions, Hans-Jörg 'Rogue' Frieden points out that there will be a hardware compatibility list with all relevant information. But at the moment, there is a Highway driver for USB, and if he remembers correctly, FastATA and IDEFix as well as similar hardware are supported as well. However, the installation process currently requires that you have connected either an IDE or a SCSI CD drive to the CyberStormPPC. The SCSI controller of the BlizzardPPC, on the other hand, is not currently supported, so only the IDE port of the Amiga 1200. Support for other hardware could possibly be added within the scope of an update. With regard to PCI, all Prometheus-esque PCI solutions as well as the Mediator 1200 and 4000 expansions are supported, no "DMA tricks" though. (snx) (Translation: cad) [News message: 21.

The Amiga Future is available as a single issue or subscription. You are free to choose whether you want it with or without a cover CD. The Amiga Future is available directly from the editorial office and some Amiga dealers like Alinea, Vesalia, AmigaKit, GGS Data, ASB, Samuli... If dealers are interested in offering the Amiga Future for their customers then simply write us an email. Also we ask all users especially the ones getting the English edition to extend their subscriptions as soon as possible or letting us know if they aren't interested anymore.
