Sorry to flame but

No, you're not.

@B00tdisk: hive-mind.  But in all seriousness, we're fully aware there are people out there who hate Apple to company and/or Apple hardware.  Doesn't need to be said all the time, or really at all as, on the whole, it adds nothing useful to discourse.

EDIT: on the subject of Apple...I dislike Apple, but I'm pro-MorphOS.  If it requires Apple hardware to run the OS I like, then so be it.

I'm actually looking forward to putting MorphOS on this aluminum PowerBook that got dumped on me.  I played with Mac OSX on it just to see how it works and to support a few customers who are Mac-only.  That lasted a day.  Now when my colleagues say how I told them I don't like Apple and won't own an Apple device I can say it's an Amiga laptop.

So would this model and configuration work with MOS 3.2?

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 Those systems are 8+ years out of date.  If you're looking for nostalgia, get a classic system or emulate using one of the UAE variants.  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! You guys keep right on buying those MOS licenses and keep holding your breath while waiting for some useful applications.  Simply ridiculous.....

Thank you for your opinion, generalizing your application to those of others.  Obviously you're not the target demographic for MorphOS.

Quick question.  I picked up a PowerMac which is listed as compatible, but it hangs during the installation.  Could this be related to the PowerBook compatibility problem alluded to above?  It's a 400MHz G4 with an ATI Rage card.  MorphOS site says only Radeon cards, but this system is listed as compatible and there were no models released with Radeon cards.

@LoadWB
Actually the ATI Rage128 Pro is listed under "without 3d hardware acceleration".

Are you sure it's an 400MHz AGP G4 (PCI-only models are not supported).
At which point does it hang ?
Have you tried stripping the G4 down (no PCI cards, only 1 RAM-stick) to check for broken parts ?

It hangs at varying parts of copying files.  I've stripped it down with the exception of the video card.  Replaced RAM, hard drive, and optical drive.  I don't have it in front of me right now, but I did the research on it to make sure.  It's definitely AGP.  I'll have it in my hands again this weekend and I'll get more information on it.  I'm not opposed to replacing the video card if that's what the problem is.
