79 available systems for MorphOS 3.5

Wow, I can't believe so many people here are lauding the use of a backward OS on a whopping 73 systems that are so obsolete that it's laughable. Those systems are 8+ years out of date.

While that might be true, it is currently the only option, I think, if you want to run MOS, AOS4.x is an other matter.

There's simply no reason to buy a system to run MorphOS or even OS4 for that matter.  None of the NG systems have a productivity suite or even a browser that is useful enough to read the news!

That is really so wrong, if you think this to honestly be true, then your information is outdated.

@Ferrellsl you do realize that a lot have happened in the last 5 years right?

I can't speak for MOS on this one, since I do not use it, but at least for AOS, there are a lot a productivity suites, both natively, through amiCygnix and also a lot have been ported with the help of QT.

So I have to ask you, what is it you need or lack?

Iggy, are we counting new or antique systems?
No doubt that mos runs on more antiques systems than AmigaOS.

And since when is a nine year old system "antique".
How old are the original "AmigaOne" models?

I never said that the Eyetech amigaOne models werent antique, and any thing older than 3 years is antique IMHO.
So in the SAM440 I use,  I also use an old system.

Even new, can an Acube board outperform even a dated PowerMac G4?

Do I care about when a system was created if it can mop the floor with the competition?

AND, if MorphOS support is extended to the X5000, how will the OS4 community explain the performance disparities  between the two OS'?

Lets cross that bridge when MOS gets there.

@ yssing
Not everything needs an X1000, X5000, or a G5.

I agree 100%, not everything needs a lot of raw power. I don't think I do any thing that that needs a lot of power.
I code php most of the time, and when I do code other things, speed is not the issue.
And the SAM440 does do what I need, though some heavy webpages could use a bit more than the power the 733mhz cpu can deliver.

MOANA (SAm460ex support is official) but board is kinky and cannot support cards older then Radeon 4000HD (I am not joking see Acube manual)

So? its hard to find older cards anyway, besides the lowend radeon(5450/6450) are so cheap they are almost free.

Yes you could blame me for bringing up OS4, but in fact it was brought up by Iggy before I mentioned anything.

But lets blame me, it's funnier, atleast I won't be suing any one.
