Whitelisting various models of Intel Macs as they currently do with PPC Macs would be a nice way of releasing MorphOS for x86.

I don't bealive in your words, do you spent 110 euros in MorphOS for x86 when for 90 you have a Windows or the best Linux free? OS4 and Morphos are for PPC or ARM systems, systems much better than x86.


I have no use for Windows but I use Linux, OSX, AROS, BeOS,Haiku and FreeDOS on x86 hardware.

OS4 is a joke compared to MorphOS IMNSHO and neither of them are available for ARM hardware.

I'd buy MorphOS and torrent Hyperion OS.


If OS4 was released for x86 but MorphOS wasn't, then I might be tempted to buy a copy if it was cheap enough.

I can't think of a single piece of MorphOS software that is both un-maintained and must have.

So PPC emulation is not absolutely necessary as a few endian tweaks to the source and a re-compile would be the most effort needed for most software.
