Well if you really want you can install AmigaOS3.9, atleast the part that was delivered with 3.9 that is (read everything but the Kick-ROM).

Back in the days of MorphOS 1.1 I accidently managed to boot my Peg1 into my A4000's 3.9 install when I had the 4000's HD installed to transfer data (back than there was no USB-support).

"3.9-apps" as in SW written for use with CPUs <= 68060 should really fly on the Efika both in CPU-power as in RAM available. Feel free to install IBrowse,AWeb,fxPaint etc.

Why one would want to replace Ambient with ancient, crippled and Hacked&Patched Workbench is beyond me, but even that can be done.

What what ??

MorphOS is rather AmigaOS-compatible and apperatly I had the MorphOS-HD containing the boot.img still installed, so MorphOS got booted till a point similar to when an Amiga starts booting from HD. Just like any Amiga the Peg/MorphOS now searched for partitions with "boot" enabled and started the one with the highest priority which was DH0: on the A4000's HD. SetPatch probraly got ignored and don't ask me where and how it found drivers for the Radeon (surely not one the A4000's HD) but yes I was prompted with a more or less standard 3.9 WB.


Btw. most Peg1 of that time only had 128MB which wasn't really a problem back then.

No they didn't make Amithlon or anything close to it .....

Most of the Amiga-API lies in the boot.img and only the Workbench-part of 3.9 was booted in my accident. Thats why it does't need chipset-emu, and thats why it is so fast (as great portion of the apps actually run inside the PPC-native OS).
