Sam440ep
Type of motherboard / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sam440, also known by Sam or its codename Samantha,[1][2] is a line of modular motherboards produced by the Italian company ACube Systems Srl.[3] The Sam440ep version is a motherboard based on the PowerPC 440EP system-on-a-chip processor which includes a double-precision FPU. It is made by AMCC.[4][5] Their primary targets are the industrial and embedded markets, running operating systems such as Linux and AmigaOS 4.[6]
At the time of AmigaOS 4.1 release in 2008, it was the only AmigaOS 4 compatible hardware available[7] since the manufacturing of AmigaOne machines ceased in 2005; Sam440 was later succeeded by the Sam460ex (AmigaOne 500) and AmigaOne X1000.
