I'm sorry but I can't see how this is relevant. MorphOS will run on any hardware the we decide to add support for, Genesi or other.

But until we see something people will be skeptics. Mac G4 would be a perfect platform to support. Linux can port to the G4 Macs, no reason MorphOS cannot.

no reason, other than linux being freeware, and both Morphos and OS4 arent. they would need to do it official like, which would mean approaching Apple.... you can work the rest out!

cos they own the hardware, no matter how 'obsolete', and the rights to decide who runs what OS on it. Linux is effectively hacked onto the Macs, and not all are supported.
to do it properly, IIRC, would require hardware documentation ?  please feel free to correct me if I'm talking bo!!ocks...

as a side note, I would be interested to play with Morphos on my A1. or would I have to rename it Teron first ? ;-)
