I don't see the point of jacking off to a low end ppc board.
Until MorphOS ships with the Efika, it's an exercise in masturbation, period. And it's still an exercise in masturbation to pay good money to run MOS on a low end ppc board.


As opposed to what? Waiting for a second hand Peg, or Peg2 to come up on ebay for £300-ish?
The MOS team have made a great decision in my opinion - support a cheap board which Anyone can afford to buy, and most importantly, is in production. Once MOS is released I will be buying one.
I know , I know - it's not the Amiga way. We are Amigans! We will pay hundreds of pounds for hardware which costs pennies for other platforms.  

Also, you seem to have a fixation with calling things an exercise in masturbation.
Personally - and I know this is a bit weird - I prefer sex. Computers are for doing maths and for entertainment.
