2014 saw the release of the so called final edition of AmigaOS4.1 again making minor improvements and features for the OS. Later ports were made to A-EON AmigaONE X1000. November 2007 finally saw OS4 for classic Amiga PPC equipped systems arrive.ĪmigaOS4.1 arrived in 2008 which continued to improve the OS feature set and added support for new hardware partner ACube and its Sam systems. Unfortunately by the time OS4 was more ready for end users, its main hardware partner, Eyetech pulled out of the Amiga market in 2006. It would take a further 2 years, before a final release in Dec 2006 was AmigaOS4 no longer considered a work in progress / beta Operating System. It was hoped that a port could be produced in short order, even Hyperion claimed it could be done in 4 months, however a Developer Pre-Release did not arrive until Oct 2004, after 3 years of development. Amiga Inc at this time had decided to focus on its Amiga Anywhere platform. AmigaOS 4 has had a difficult life, in 2001 Hyperion and Amiga Inc entered an agreement to allow Hyperion to develop a PowerPC version of AmigaOS, based on the source code of AmigaOS3.1.
