I'll prolly update the mother board in time, that is if I can find one for the right price anyhow.

 I'm still quite curious to see AROS V.S. Mac OS on this computer, I'd still say AROS could DEFINATLY stomp Mac OS to the ground, and make the even the worst Mac ever look good.


 I wonder why my avatar scares everyone so much!?!? :)


I know it's not like me to jump into a thread about AROS... but...

AROS is being ported to OpenFirm ware PPC  (Read Pegasos and newer mac) computers.
The biggest hurdle of any Port is the hardware technical documents.
Once the PPC port is running (and GCC and TCP/IP are functional), no doubt we shall see AROS supporting more exotic PPC hardware.

I recognise the your avitar but I don't remember where from.

Wasn't AROS ported to PReP awhile ago by MSchulz?

He did, but I think that work got side tracked by the Pegasos (Open Firmware) port... since that is probably the more interesting of the two :-D
