I was able to snag one MAC Mini 1.5GHz Intel Solo OSX10.5 for around $150. This thing is pretty zippy, plays youtube in browser pretty good, boot under 40 seconds from cold start,not bad.
I ordered 2 Gig RAM and 2.0Gig Core2Duo CPU for it, lets see how it runs after the upgrade.
When that's done I may have to play around with MorphOS on my old Mini G4.
Now..., what do I gain by installing MorphOS? Apart from looking like AmigaOS? any native aps, video editing sw?

My real goal was to install AmigaOS 4.0 on it, I see the videos on youtube, so it looks like is possible, it there anyone from here who was actually able to install AmigaOS 4.0 on their Mac Mini?

A600 KS 3.1, 2MB Chip, ACA630 32MB RAM
A1000 KS 1.3, 8MB RAM
A1200 KS 3.1, Blizzard IV 50MHz 64MB RAM
A2000 KS 2.1, 68030 25MHz, 6MB RAM
A3000 KS 3.1, 68030 25MHz, 16MB RAM
A4000 KS 3.0, 68040 25MHz, 16MB RAM
CDTV KS 3.1, 4MB RAM

Completely impossible on an Intel machine. The 1.5GHz Mac Minis running OS4 are G4 machines running a leaked alpha version.

I think there was about one model of MacMini G4 that would boot the leaked OS4, but it was missing things like sound and networking.  Much better off with MorphOS on the G4 unless you were just looking to boot OS4 for fun.

Uhh Amiman, the day you succeed with that is the day that 21/12/12 is the end of the world, meaning that you can't even do it because of architecture differences. And the Moana bootloader is virtually useless

Need a part for a PC or Mac? PM me, I\'ll let you know if I come across it.

OS X trumps Windows on every level.

MorphOS, OS4 and Classic Amiga systems are the only ones who are real \'Amigas\', not that joke AROS or Amiga Forever.
