Title: MorphOS on old PPC Mac?
Post by: XDelusion on August 18, 2003, 07:39:29 PM

Not sure where exactly to post this so here we go:

 I just picked up an old PPC Mac Performa 6200 CD with Monitor, Printer, Scanner, Keyboard, Mice, Software out the butt, speakers ect. All for a mear $10.00 :)

 Anyhow I am now interested in seeing if MorphOS will run on it, so will it? If not, what other OS' can I run on it aside of MacOS?

No MOS wont run on it! your only hope is *puke* MacOS below X and Linux of some flavour.

Well that sux, guess I am stuck with BeOS, unless of course AROS will be running on it sometime soon! :)

It would no doubt be an INTERESTING test of AROS' portability, and resource friendly, not to mention a machine you can actually get people to give to you, they go for 1 cent, plus about $45.00 shipping on Ebay even. This could be the areana, that the fight between classic 68k, VS classic PPC hardware! I'd LOVE to benchmark that stuff.
