That's gotta sting a few people to see the Holy Mark on the Heathen Mobos.
:)

Might get around to registering MOS now that it (soon) supports my preferred hardware.


Those heathen mobos wouldn't be around if Hyperion didn't go to them for an OS4 platform, that's got to add some salt to that sting for some. I look forward to seeing some performance reports.

Acube's primary market is embedded customer and that is what those boards are designed for.


Therefore they would never have appeared on most of our shopping lists without Hyperion's involvement and MorphOS wouldn't be on a platform that's currently being manufactured. My point to begin with.

Best response from Hyperion would be to retaliate and make aOS 4.x available on old PPC Macs...

Better to spend the time putting OS4 on a portable machine I think, but it would be amusing.

So, when do we get MorphOS for X1000?

And that would be different to now?


Apart from updates to OS4, what other support do you think they should be providing?

The above comment is not just directed at Persia but at all those who keep making absurd digs about Hyperion not supporting SAM boards.

Drivers (that may also be improved over time) for the on-board HW features of the hardware in question, of course, since this is what makes the OS run on that HW! This is what "supporting HW" usually means in an OS.

;)


And MorphOS doesn't support all the features of the macs it runs on either, powerbooks and emacs being the case in point. I wouldn't say they are not supporting the hardware, these are small companies and things take time. Welcome to the reality of niche computing.

:confused:

What did that have to do with the discussion coming from Everblue's/Dammy's/Persia's posts? If you think they were talking about some unsupported controller on some motherboard, then you blatantly failed to understand. Here is an easier example for you then: If Acube would write OS4 drivers for Mac Mini (which they did, I have "Moana" here on my HDD), would that be the same thing as Hyperion supporting Mac Mini? Do you understand their point now?

;)


That would depend on the reasoning behind it. Strategic partnership too much of an effort to comprehend? Any driver written by Acube for OS4 is part of a strategic partnership from both companies, Acube wouldn't be writing jack for OS4 without the deal with Hyperion in the first place.

BTW, This isn't the first time you've made the effort to be blatantly insulting to me. Maybe I said something offensive to you in the past, if so, please let me know so we can resolve it. I am getting just a bit sick of the attitude I get whenever I reply to one of your posts and if there is any actual reason for it I would rather deal with it. If not, well....  ¯\(°_o)/¯   ....maybe therapy!?
