The three companies have been engaged in the areas of sale, distribution and engineering of
hardware and
software for mainstream systems and alternative platforms for years. They have joined their efforts in the realization of the
Sam440ep platform. The ongoing
dispute over ownership of AmigaOS cast doubts about the actual release of
AmigaOS 4 for this new hardware, support for Sam440ep was later introduced in AmigaOS 4.1. Since November 2007 Acube Systems distributed AmigaOS 4.0 for
Amiga computers with
PowerPC CPU cards on behalf of
Hyperion Entertainment. They also built the first Amiga redesign in hardware, the
Minimig. In September 2011, Acube Systems introduced AmigaOne 500 based on
Sam460ex mainboard. ==References==
