Need current info / status on EFIKA / MorphOS
« on: January 12, 2007, 12:47:34 AM »
Hi, can anyone in the know tell me:

(1) Is the 'official' release of MorphOS that runs on EFIKA made public? I think they were talking about release 1.5 supporting EFIKA. Does 1.4.x release runs on EFIKA too?

(2) Where can I find a definitive guide to hardware compatibility for EFIKA/MorphOS setup? I'm thinking of graphics cards, HDDs.

(3) Where can I buy EFIKA boards?

(4) Is there any reputable establishment (cough, talking about hardware sellers here) where one can buy the whole system e.g. EFIKA board + GPU + HDD + case, possibly with MorphOS pre-installed?

(5) What options are there in terms of graphics cards with only a PCI slot available?

(6) Is there any way to increase RAM? I don't know what the MorphOS footprint is, but 128MB looks rather low-end to me. But again, that's a lot for Amiga  :-D

(7) What's your opinion on EFIKA vs other 'options'?

Thanks for the informative replies.

The inability to easily add any kind of internal CD drive is a point against it

Isn't it possible to connect both HD drive and CD drive on the same IDE cable?

I think I will hold on until MorphOS 1.5 is officially released.
