You might as well give up and lock this thread because ITS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. The morphos team devotes developer resources towards Powerbook and G5 not, underpowered custom high priced hw. (anymore lol)


In what sense the Powerbook and G5 macs are not underpowered custom high priced hw?

So if you buy Sam, you pay for AmigaOS 4.... What's so bad about it? When you buy Powerbook and G5 macs you are paying for MacOS X, or not? Can you buy a Mac without Apple's OS price attached to it?

They once were highpriced but I've got:
1.67GHz 15" PowerBook
2x2.3GHz PowerMac-G5
2.1GHz iMac-G5 (20")

All in good condition, all 3 combined still cheaper than 1 SAM-460 board (not to speak about a full system).


Whatever price you paid (you got screwed btw), similar speced PC machine is much cheaper. The question is why MorphOS is not available for the cheaper hardware if their goal is to have their OS on cheaper, off the shelf, easily available hardware?

P.S. It's hard to find Macs here and the one's I found are terribly expensive/outdated.

Can you actually by SAM in your country from local flea market or walmart?


Are you suggesting me that I shall buy my hardware from flea markets or Walmart?

What's next? From your own experience suggesting me to look in the dumpsters for MorphOS ready hardware?
