So googledocs works fine then?
I havent put off the idea, but if I am going to shell out for a "new" amiga system, it must have compatibility with modern office formats to some extent, so that'd be nice.
Any way to create PDF files? (does google docs do this?)
A few programs have direct output to PDF. There's no direct PDF print driver, but the print system is built around TurboPrint, so you've got PostScript/GhostScript output that you can convert to PDF pretty easily.
PowerPC macs dont seem super cheap atm on craigs list. WHats the specs people would recommend for Morph OS? I see powermacs are supported and most of those are in the 500 ghz range it seems, whereas the mac minis seem a lot beefier.
The biggest performance problem on the PowerUp version was probably the lack of RAM/VRAM, so any Mac should be fine. VRAM issues on 32MB machines still pop up at very high resolutions in "enhanced display" mode, so be aware of that.
How much fuss is installation?
First-time setup for dual booting with OSX takes a bit of work, but nothing too major. If you're trashing the OSX partitions or performing an upgrade it's almost no effort at all.
I assume full support for USB 2, gamepads etc ?
Through Poseidon, yes.
For apps that can install and run natively, does this work from adf or can I copy an installation from a real amiga or?
Either of these works.
Examples of popular applications that will work? (final writer 97, Dpaint etc)
Almost anything that doesn't hit the hardware. So Final Writer (though I recall having some issues with it), yes, DPaint, no.
multiple screens / screen dragging?
Just like Amiga RTG - multiple screens, yes, dragging, no. There's a commodity called Dragon that can fake screen dragging, but I've found it too unstable.
.info files?
Just like any other Amiga.
Basically, MorphOS *is* AmigaOS under a different name. It's not something like
AtheOS/Syllable which was meant to be an AmigaOS clone but turned into an OS-with-a-few-features-kinda-sorta-inspired-by-something-AmigaOS-sorta-had"
