The SAM460ex is the third modular motherboard produced by ACube Systems Srl
(see also
SAM440ep Flex).
The core of the Sam 460ex board is the PowerPC 460ex, a System On Chip
(SoC) produced by AMCC under license from IBM. The 460ex can be clocked
up to 1.166 GHz.

* Please note: The SATA2 port and the PCI-e 1x slot are
mutually exclusive, only one of them can be used at a time.
Please use the configuration options to select memory, graphics card (optional),
and a SATA controller (strongly recommended). Current state of the SAM460ex version of
AmigaOS 4.1:
The version currently shipped with the Sam460ex board is made from AmigaOS 4.1 Update 2.
You can download further AmigaOS updates from Hyperion Entertainment (registration required).
The current RadeonHD driver supports the following chipsets with full 2D hardware acceleration and DDC:
The driver for the onboard SATA port is still experimental (and hence it is not loaded by the
Kicklayout file by default). We recommend to buy an inexpensive SATA controller card together
with the board (see configuration options), this way you avoid the problems you could encounter
with the experimental driver and, as an additional benefit, have more SATA ports at your disposal.
