The only things that bother me about the G4 mac mini are the slow stock HDD and the lack of sufficient USB ports.
I traded mine to a friend for a mountain bike shortly before MorphOS support was announced.  As if that's not bad enough, the bike got stolen shortly thereafter.

The HDD interface is ATA100, which is plenty fast for whatever you can do with MorphOS anyways, and for USB... ever heard of USB hubs? :hammer:


The bus is fine, it's the 4800RPM drive that makes it slow.  Of course, MorphOS isn't constantly hammering away at the hard drive like Darwin, so I'm sure it's not a problem.

USB hubs are just a nuisance, since they're either not powered and semi-useless, or they are powered and require another power source to be plugged in.  I don't need the clutter.  Having powered hubs inside of other devices is great though.  I wish it were more common.
