found my original post @ MorphZone:
"The lack of a clear roadmap shouldn't be a surprise for me. It's a hobbyist project and it's clearly managed in that way. The only thing that's unusual is to charge prices over 100 euros for a hobbyist product...
Trying to think about strategy here, most probably the money does not make a huge difference. I can't imagine more than a couple copies being sold per month (average) and I can suppose they're not splitting that fortune equally among developers. How much are they? So, if money is really not the key point here, why the heck are MorphOS team always trying to support new/different/sometimes exotic hardware?
IMHO, trying to keep the spirit of the amiga, would be to choose a fixed system (remember, when developers know exactly what to expect, there's nothing preventing them to go, as low level as they want..., just like an Amiga)
i.e. Mac Mini 1.5 with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, at least 1gb of ram, etc... Set the exact detailed model
That machine would be considered AMorph 500 or anything like that.
They should invest all human resources and efforts to make the system run perfectly on that machine. With everything supported. Why add an eMAC for example? Who wants those white elephants?
When MOS is running flawlessly, perfectly on AMorph 500. They might start to consider an AMorph 1200 (maybe the Powerbook 1.67 High-Res)...
Let people with old 1.25 minis or Powerbook 1.5 complain. It will be better to get another machine, than to have an incomplete operating system.
