Sam460ex
Sam460ex is a line of modular motherboards produced by the Italian company ACube Systems Srl.[1] ACube has announce that the work to port AmigaOS 4.1 to the Sam460ex is in progress[2]and the machine was scheduled for release in October 2010.
The Sam460ex made its debut at the Vintage Computer Festival at Bletchley Park in the UK on the 19th June 2010, where it was demonstrated to the public running AmigaOS 4.1 along with the Timberwolf web browser, a port of the Mozilla Firefox for the AmigaOS. Its hardware features were also showcased, with its SIM card slot and aerial, its ability to boot AmigaOS from SD card and its onboard 'Eyemotion' (SM502) graphics and sound chipset being particular highlights.
