New to MorphOS, where do I start?

[AmigaFun]

Hi all

I have just got a PPC card for my A1200T, and would like to try MorphOS. However, my first problem is, where do I get the correct version from? The MorphOS site does not have any downloads for the Amiga version.

Anyone know?

Thanks

Hi Dragster, looks like I am out of luck then. Even if I did find a copy of MorphOS, I could not use it fully becuase of the 30 minute 'slow down'. Thats a real pity. And I found the same as you, the site just says 'It Works!'...not helpfull.

It also looks like Amigakit is out of stock of OS4 now as well.

Do you happen to know where I can go from here? I have 3.9 at the moment.

Hi takemehomegrandma.

I don't know anything about MorphOS (my first problem maybe!). I just want to be able to now make full use of the hardware I have got, and from screen shots I have seen, it looks pretty. Also it's important that I can use my old classic software as well though. With this in mind then, should I stay with 3.9, find OS4 Classic or try MorphOS?

I just not sure what to do really. I don't know what I need to know. I understand MorphOS does not support AGA. That does limit me a bit becuase if I run software that is not RTG capable, it normally just runs via the AGA chipset and is viewable via the scandoubler. Sounds like MorphOS won't allow this?

What, in a nut shell will I be able to do?

Hi Matt_H. The software I want to run is mainly the CUCD's and AFCD's that came with the mags when they were about. I want to run and try the PPC only stuff that people made.
I have found a place that has a copy of OS4 and ordered it up anyway, I mean, I am going to have to start from fresh anyway to get the PPC side of things running, I think...

I could do a dual boot actually...thats an option is'nt it?

@Akiko...If it does not support the Mediator, then it kind of puts a halt to the idea of installing it.

Is there a guid anywhere that details how to set up a dual boot for OS4, OS3.9, and maybe MorphOS?

>> You also need to force a bootdevice in OS4's Kicklayout and MorphOS's startup-sequence<<

I have no idea what that means. Is there not a way of loading into a DOS screen and then having three options for which boot device to use?
