Wireless on my MacMini (1.5Mhz edition) have been working for quite a while now, cant remember from which version it started to work. But perhaps they did use different wifi chipsets in some models?
Nobody caught the fact that there is no X5000 pricing. I'm guessing that the price drop is indeed a precursor to announcing Morphs 3.10. And since most of the work over the past year has been about the X5000 it wouldn't make sense to charge people with G4/G5 Macs the full price.
Wake me when it gets to E49 for all systems... I thought it was E79 anyway, was it even more? Not interested yet...
"Airport" is Apple's euphemism for wifi - there is no "airport chipset", just regular wifi chipsets from the usual vendors, different from model to model. For example, G4 mac minis typically have a BCM4306 chipset from Broadcom on the PCI bus.
It was €111 at most.
Please note that a MorphOS 2.0 key is available at 111,11 EUR (includes 19% VAT) as an introductory offer. On Tuesday, the 15th of July, the price will go up to 150 EUR (includes 19% VAT).
That's not true, €111,11 was the introduction price, see the Morphos 2.0 announcement:Then with the 2nd anniversary of Morphos 2.x the price was dropped to €111, and with the Morphos 3.0 release the drop became permanent.
I'm sure that 11 cents was a deal breaker for millions.
Aren't all airport extreme cards from Apple's ppc era broadcom 43xx based? I mean MorphOS supports Atheros 5000 and Broadcom 43xx. And the drivers for these chipsets are rather fine.
You missed the 150e era, which was there in the quote.
