Maybe having MOS for the Mac Mini will motivate the Hyperion team to go back to work on the Moana project.  It could also do the opposite as they might not want to have a direct comparison of AOS4.1 to MOS2.1, or MOS3.0, unless the AOS team is confident that they have a better OS. (I probably should not have opened that door as the flamers are sure to pour in now).

Anyway, I for one would like to see both AOS and MOS running on the same hardware to see a fair comparison.  I doubt it will ever happen though.

The prospect of having so many new choices and potential for other new hardware to run AmigaOS and Amiga compatible OSes has never been better than it is right now.  Who would have thought two years ago that in 2008/2009 we Amiga users would have the problem of too many different choices for new hardware, SAM440ep, SAM440flex, EFIKA, MacMini, NatAmi, MiniMig v1.1, MiniMig-miniITX, GBA1000 DIY project.  That is quite a list for a supposed "Dead" platform.

What a great time to be an "Amigan"!

I find MacMini more expensive than G4 towers.Have several here all bought for around $100 or less,including one with lcd display.And don't forget the lampshade iMacs!


One model at a time!  Let the MorphOS team finish the port to the Mini before we start asking for other models.  Unless there is a better PPC option that becomes available to the MorphOS team between now and the date they decide the team is finished working on the releases for  the Pegasos, Efika and MacMini, maybe then they will decide to do more work on the MacMini port to make it work with other Mac models.  It would make sense for them to do so, unless there is a better alternative to port to, or the team decides they are done porting MorphOS to other platforms and models.
