That is awesome! I really would like to see the iBook G4 supported. It is a nice little laptop. Any plans from MorphOS Team to support any PPC Apple laptops?


We demoed MorphOS running on Apple PPC laptops many times already. We're not looking into iBooks though, but for now just the last two revisions of PowerBooks.

Has anyone confirmed support for the 'education only' USB2.0 1GHz model?
It's the same as the 1.25GHz and 1.42GHz machines, just with a slower CPU and different BTO options.


I has not been confirmed, but I believe it's going to work - the hardware is the same as the 1.25GHz model indeed and the model id is PowerMac6,4 so there's nothing preventing MorphOS from running on the machine. If you can get access to one, please give it a try and let us all know.

kedawa : unfortunatly, MorphOS doesn't work on the 1GHz/USB version of the eMac.


The 1.0GHz PowerMac4,4 != 1.0GHz educational PowerMac6,4. The first one won't work, the latter should work just fine.
