That demo video is a fake! Theres no way they would get tux racer that smooth on a 400MHz g3! I don't get that good frame on a 1.42GHz g4 with a 512mb ram and Radeon 9200.

Notice that they end the video in windows xp?

Do you know what graphics card they were using in that demo?

Even i am gonna strongly consider it, if it ends up running MorphOS or AmigaOS.

Please note that the official statement by the MorphOS-Team is still that there is currently no end-user support planned.

A recent thread with members of the MorphOS-Team involved has been here. Alternatively, the same in a nutshell.

Which is understandable as long as there isn't a sufficient number of Efika end-users who might be interested in MorphOS to make it worth to fine-tune MorphOS for this board and provide end-user support.

Hrmph.. Sounds like it will never happen. I guess MOS is truly dead on the desktop. Thanks.

no MOS? then no efika for me.

Never say never again. Keep an eye on EFIKA. I am sure if there are enough potential users out they will maybe release a MorphOS Version for it as they did for the PowerUP Version.

That would be great indeed! such a cheap and somewhat powerfull board is what MOS needs to become more famous... not everyone can spare the kind of money a peg mobo needs...
the 160e efika can lure ppl into buying it, thus strengthen the MOS userbase.

@keropi,

I agree. They would get alot more MOS users if they supported a board like this. Not many people want to spend $600+ on a motherboard for a Alternative/hobby OS.
