I haven't had the chance to see much of AmigaOS 4.0 yet (other than a few demos at AmiWest last year that did not impress me too much), but from the few demos of MorphOS I have seen, I would have to say that it looks great and I want it.  I wonder how slow it is going to be on my CSPPC 233mHz 604e?

I wish both MorphOS and AmigaOS 4.x would be released for the old PPC Macs so we would have a large supply of hardware to run the two OSes on.  That would prompt me to spend the money to fix my G4 PowerBook (again). :lol:

I would gladly spend up to $250 USD for either OS if it were released to run on any PPC Mac.  Not because it is a better OS than OS X or Windows XP Pro, but just because I am an Amiga user!

P.S. I would also buy either if they are ported to x86, but that would be a lot more work and I don't see that happening any time soon.

Been a MorphOS user since the 0.3 days, got a Peg II and sold my PPC A3000T. I have never regretted it even once.  MOS is by far the best Amiga system ever. I even argue its better then OS4. When 2,0 come out soon it want even be a question as to which is better.


Is version 2.0 of MorphOS guaranteed to run on the PegI and PegII boards?  I thought I had read that it would not, but that does not make sense, even if it is targeted at another platform, they should still support their previous user base.

@zylesea,

There is a lot of discussion about wanting AOS4.0 on a PPC Mac, here and on other forums.  What do the MOS coders think about porting MOS to the PPC Mac?

If I had money to BURN I would buy a PegII G4@ 1gHz, but I don't, so I will settle for MOS for pup.  It would be nice to be able to run both MorphOS2.0 and AmigaOS4.0 on my old Mac Powerbook G4.
