You're still limited to PATA though, so only laptop drives fit, and they're almost always 5400rpm at best, so the HD interface will always be slow.


A current 5400rpm drive is significantly faster than the drives shipped with the minis.

I should be getting my Mac Mini this week, are you able to report if any of the following programs can run or not:
 
Amos Pro
Deluxe Paint V
Vista Pro
Octamed


I would not expect any of them to run, MorphOS 68k compatibility is best with programs that work with RTG/AHI on classics. So AMOS is definitely out, DPaint V will probably launch (but there are issues with it IIRC), not sure if Vista Pro can be coaxed to work and Octamed will be trying to hit a Paula that isn't there.

I read that at least one person had gotten Vista Pro to promote and work on MorphOS2.x, but don't remember which mode promotion tool he was using or how he got it working.  I will have to research it some time soon and get it installed on one or more of my MorphOS capable computers.


Mhh.. I only remember people talking about getting it to work with OS4 fakenative modes.
