what is the part of:

"Would you buy a (PowerPC) Mac version of Amiga OS4.x?"

you can't get?

Are you talking to me or drHirudo?  :confused:

@everyone. I still don't understand this thing about MOS fanboys hijacking AOS4.x threads. All i did was point out the obvious. Seems like paranoia to me :confused:

There is a place called ebay - quite easy to find with good few macs that are supported.

http://computers.shop.ebay.com/Apple-Desktops-/111418/i.html?Processor%2520Type=PowerPC%2520G4&rt=nc&Product%2520Family=PowerMac&_dcat=111418&_fln=1&_ssov=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m282

There is a link in case you don't know what ebay is.


I have 100% positive eBay account. The Macs that are sold which will eventually run MOS are hard to find and the shipping price will be a small fortune. International shipping for eMac?, errrmm, better buy something for half the price, quadriple as fast, locally.

P.S. Your link sucks. Most of the listed models won't run MOS anyway. Neither they ship internationally.

Hyperion will never port to cheap readliy availaible second hand hardware, that would make too much sense.


I am getting so sick of the Hyperion bashing some people blurt out on every thread they can. If you keep bitching at those that are trying you'll end up with no one doing anything for the Amiga at all.... geeesh.

x64 is the only platform for the future. That is why the Amiga is dying out. People with their heads in the ppc cloud. Times change. I was the biggest fan of ppc but it's dead. It's an ex parrot. Get over it and wise up.  And don't start going on about aros ffs its not the same. Its useless.  Of course I realise Amiga will never go x64 because that would make too much sense.

The Amiga community would be a million times better off if hyperion had not got their claws on AmigaOS.  It pains me that a lot of people are too blind to see the damage they have and continue to do to the platform.
 
So hopefully people like me, and we are not all MorphOS supporters, bitching will cause them to stop

Funny you said that. I have been trying to get one for a while in oz but they are really priced high. When a G4 Macmini comes up on ebay they usually sell for about $200-300. But overseas they go for $99. I will keep an eye out though :)

Not to mention MorphOS flies on a PPC Mac Mini!  It also flies on my MDD 1.0 ghz dual G4. I am interested in OS4 like skins for MorphOS though, that sounds interesting. Still I voted yes anyway. I already have OS4 on my Sam and reg'ed MorphOS on my mini and I'd probably still buy OS4 for one of my PPC macs if someone finished the port.

point us to "some" of the 64MB vram model, since i'm quite sure you know that the 32MB variant is crap even for MOS.

You know **** about MorphOS on Macs and that's it. On my 'sucky' link most of PowerMacs are supported. There is also ebay in every country.

A quick conversion gives 127-190 pounds. Maybe it is a good price to pay but being a poor student means it is a lot for me. Tonight i bought an Apple BT keyboard for 1/2 price of a new one and for me that is a small fortune.
