Today we got confirmation that MorphOS Team is currently porting MorphOS to the upcoming X5000 motherboard by A-Eon. They plan to finish the port around October.

Nice :)

Just to clean up the mess before it spreads :)
The MorphOS X5000 support shown was a tech demo.
It is not planned to include X5000 support before MorphOS 3.10 and there is no time frame to finish the port.
It is done, when it is done.

MorphOS user have plenty of cheap PPC options already, there might be some MorphOS user who might be interested in buying a hardware that runs both "NG" OSs but I do not think that numbers are very high.
Besides Itix was right, concentrating on 68k propably would have brought more users than PPC. But that is history now.
-
In the light of what certain core MorphOS developers have stated on IRC earlier, this is pretty hilarious news.
-
Would certainly help open my wallet some were I in the market for the next high end new PPC NG system if I could run both OS4 and MOS, but I do wonder why they would bother really, numbers wise.
That being said, I'd be real happy to see it. Waiting eagerly for public release MOS support on the 460 boards.
-
I would be happy to see this!! indeed. This could only help all involved in NG software and hardware. I think some good things could come from this. COOL!!

Don't really care about MrorphOS, what is more interesting is seeing a picture of the X5000. Well the MorphOS desktop.....

@Geit
Ah, sorry. I missed that part (I only wrote what you told me on IRC). I didn't mean to spread any wrongful information.

Great, another 'option' on the X5000.

Now this machine will runs a good OS

first day buyer when it is finished :)

Uh, wrong. That would be me (I hope).
I have been in contact with Paul Gentle at Varisys since before it was announced that they designed the X1000.
And I've exchanged several messages with Trevor over the last few years.
I have hoped for this since Freescale introduced the E5500 core, and now it is likely to happen.
An AmigaOne running MorphOS.
Frankly, my wet dream realized.

It certainly is an interesting development. To me it signals two positive things potentially happening behind the scenes:
1. A-Eon, true to its form, has provided adequate documentation on the Cyrus Plus board to the Morphos team to make porting the OS as easy as it can possibly be.
2. The Morphos team, aiming for an ISA transition are making the Morphos code more portable, which should yield fruits in a relatively low-cost porting effort to the Cyrus Plus.
The results being:
- The Morphos team gets to test advances they are putting in the OS on the path from 3.7 to 3.10
- Morphos users have more hardware choice available
- A-Eon places itself as the new hardware centre for multiple operating systems
- Hyperion Entertainment will have some competition for the same hardware
The $100,000 question remains: Which will be the first to bring multi-core support on the X5000 et al?
-
And if we're really lucky, more people will take a leaf out of A-Eon's book, and stop the petty schoolyard "my OS can beat up your OS" bickering that is still so prevalent (even in this thread).
More co-operation and less sniping will be be beneficial for everyone.
I don't use MorphOS much, but this is surely a good thing.

Or better: which will be the first to bring a *true* multi-core support on the X5000? I'm not interested in seeing the first hacky solution that will appear.
-
I am not interested in getting into pissing matches with OS4 supporters either, as I am likely to set an X5000 up to triple boot MorphOS, OS4, and Linux.
I know what I like better, as the developers are consistently producing upgrades and are some of our oldest and best coders.
However, OS4 actually does tend to resemble 3.1 more.
This is actually a result of the difference in focus between the developers of these two OS'.
Frankly, with such a small user base, we should feel grateful to have three NG OS offerings to choose from and more than one new hardware developer.
Pretty damned neat for a system that was written off by most years ago.

when we get morphos on the amigaone we need to do this...

then i think everyone will finally be happy :)
