Oh yeah I forgot there was that damn chip in there checking for something. There was an argument on another thread about it.

:-D

Hang about though, if PPC MorphOS won't run, then how does PPC Linux run!?


It's to do with the BIOS chip on the A1, Eyetech used UBoot, whereas Pegasos and Macs (and a few other machines) use Open Firmware.

The MOS team could quite easily write a version of MOS that Boots via Uboot (just as the LinuxPPC people have)... but why should they bother? :-)
