MorphOS 2.7 actually supports eMac G4 1.42 GHz

[kedawa]

Has anyone confirmed support for the 'education only' USB2.0 1GHz model?
It's the same as the 1.25GHz and 1.42GHz machines, just with a slower CPU and different BTO options.

I just couldn't bring myself to get anything with a CRT in it these days.  I*hate them so much.  Big, heavy, finicky things.  That said, I remember keeping my last CRT going for a whole nother year with periodic well-placed punches to the top of the case.  That trick wouldn't work on an LCD.

Well, dismount the device and put a tft to the vga connector. Or if crafting and tinkering isn't yours get a PowerMac or Mac mini. Still CRTs are good for video. But personally I also prefer a *good* tft (one with IPS or PVA panel) over a CRT.

kedawa : unfortunatly, MorphOS doesn't work on the 1GHz/USB version of the eMac.

That's strange.  They're exactly the same machine except for the clock speed.

I has not been confirmed, but I believe it's going to work - the hardware is the same as the 1.25GHz model indeed and the model id is PowerMac6,4 so there's nothing preventing MorphOS from running on the machine. If you can get access to one, please give it a try and let us all know.

The 1.0GHz PowerMac4,4 != 1.0GHz educational PowerMac6,4. The first one won't work, the latter should work just fine.
