    I just picked up a Micro Amiga One G3 800 Mhz PPC from eBay. I haven't had
    a chance to play with it yet, but I have added yet another device to Amiga collection.

    I wonder if OS 4.1 has any native support for bbs packages as I'd like to
    move my system away from 25 year old hardware and don't want to use UAE.

    I know if the software doesn't directly call any of the hardware or chips it will run without issue. Hopefully I'll get around to trying Zeus on OS 4.1

    What would "native support" for a BBS package mean..? Or do you just mean if there is any known compatibility issues that may affect BBS packages? (Which I don't know the answer to since I know nothing about OS 4.1 :-) )

    I was casting a net to see how many others might have tried to run classic software on os 4.1.

    From what i've learned from tinkering around with it, classic software that doesn't directly call any of the classic chips (Agnus, AGA, etc.) runs just fine, but anything that directly calls those chips has to run in UAE within 4.1.

    I will be trying to move my Zeus system over to 4.1 sometime this weekend
    and see if it breaks anything.
