Also: Screen resolutions/sizes are unique identifiers for all of these four models,


Nope, only the very last revisions (5.8/5.9( had highres screen, the screens used in the older supported models (5.6/5.7) are identical to screen use in even much older revision (maybe even back to the orginal 400MHz Ti). One of the PBs I sold last year actually is an 5.7 in the case and with the display of an 5.5 and I have confirmation thats it's running just fine.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Well the ADB-driver IS used in 3.0 !!!


For the PWR-button on MMini and PBs (wether that was the reason for starting with ADB or if it's just a side result while writing ADB kbd-drivers is anybodys guess).

Actually installing OSX after MorphOS is a no-brainer when there allready is a big HFS(+) partition in place.

The OSX-installer will just let you use it but once it's done OSX will be the default boot-options (which can be changed by useing the last chapters of that dual-boot manual).
