In theory yes, in practise no ....

MorphOS only runs on the Pegasos1 and Pegasos2 boards, and to
some extent on the old Phase5-cards (CS_PPC/BPPC). Meaning
will have to resort to the old 0.4-demo, which is just a way of running
AOS3.x on the PPC-side of the cards (actually it's a bit more, but
lets keep it simple), or will have to make very good contact to one
of the core-developers giving you a current version for these cards.

MorphOS will allow you to use system-friendly SW written for AmigaOS
and for Amigas with PPC (WarpOS/PowerUP), for further insight it might
be usefull to have a look into the forums at:
morphzone

@chris

I somehow doubt that he was complaining about "the MorphOS lot" ....
it rather seems that he came to the conclusion that there is little sense
in unstuffing something as outdated as his A1200, when there are
allready better/faster options available.

IMO starting to update an (allmost) naked Amiga now is the worst of
all option (expensive, slow, unreliable, hard to maintain).

Don't forget that prices that were considered low-end in the 80' are now
actually allmost high-end (just have a look at what you can get from
your PC-dealer for 500-700Euro), and they MicroA1 will have to some-
thing else attracting the masses, before he can be sold in such numbers
that would attract the masses ....
