Re: 73 available systems for MorphOS 3.2

@tmhg

Just to note also:

MorphOS also supports the onboard (NEC) USB on the Powermac MDDs operating in high-speed usb 2.0 mode.
Apple has never got around to supported that (afaik), and OSX only operates the onboard NEC USB at USB 1.1 speeds.

:-)
Mac Mini G4 (1.5GHz, 64MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.6
Powerbook 5.8 (15", 1.67GHz, 128MB VRam, 1GB Ram): MorphOS 3.8.

Windows-free since 2011-2014 (Damn you Netflix!)

Yup, that sounds like Cleethorpes. ;-)

EDIT: Sorry for the thread necromancy, was just re-reading the thread and just couldn't resist the bait.

Problem is: MOANA (SAm460ex support is official) but board is kinky and cannot support cards older then Radeon 4000HD (I am not joking see Acube manual).


Quote
3 - when using a PCI-Express graphic card, we suggest to use a Radeon HD2400 or newer models. Older models like X600, X800 are not fully compatible with the Sam460ex and may not work. Some X1550 cards are reported to work OK.

Is this the laptop version I need to run MorphOS on it?

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Apple-A1107-17-1-67MGz-Aluminum-PowerBook-G4-Laptop-160GB-HD-2GB-Mem-Superdrive-/151231109939?pt=Apple_Laptops&hash=item2336139b33


That is one of the many models.
Everymac.com is a really good site for checking detailed info on the hardware - most Apple G4 laptop models are supported (all G4 iBooks, most aluminium G4 Powerbooks, but none of the Titanium ones) - the only exception being a few early aluminium Powerbooks that had NVidea graphics cards.

If you have any doubts about the exact model you're bidding on, ask the seller to check the 'About my Mac' screen for the model number, then look this up on Everymac.com.

NB - The morphos-team website (hardware support page) needs clarifying - it states that " Powerbook G4 [...] Only models with a Radeon graphics chip are supported", whereas it should say "Only aluminium models with a Radeon..." (Titanium models have various Radeon Mobility)
