MorphOS 2.0 Released

[spihunter]

Damn! Its about time something happened around here! Ordered my Efika this morning. $99 for the hardware $200 for the OS.
(I already have a hardrive/video card/etc....)

I'd say that beats the hell out of a $1500 CyberstormPPC. :crazy:

@spihunter:  My EFIKA will be here tomorrow. Damn I dont have a vid card.. I'll have to pick one up.

@TheMagicM,

Yea, Directron is probably wondering what the hell is going on! They've had these boards forever and all of a sudden they all sell out in one day. :lol:

@Matt_H,

Thanks for the link. Is there a list anywhere of 68k apps that run under MorphOS, or do most non-hardware banging apps just work?

I think the ridiculous high price tag on MOS 2.0 will make it less appealing to buyers and newcomers.  A lower pricetag would make all winners at the end.

I cant belive all the B#*$%ing & moaning I'm seeing all over the place about the price.

You guys must never try and buy Amiga stuff at its current market value. This is a steal for a modernized AmigaOS on $99 hardware thats faster then the old PPC boards.

@bloodline,

To do what with it?  It is a high price when I can do more with my existing Amiga and Mac/Win machines... my point is that the MOS team need a killer app...

Since when has any Amiga had a killer app besides maybe Hollywood anyway? Go use your other machines for awhile and let us have our fun here. :lol:

@bloodline,

I'm not sure what what kind of answer your looking for here.

If your happy with UAE then by all means just use it and forget about MorphOS. It probably going to run classic apps faster anyway.

If your looking to stick with a more modern Amiga that is still being developed then this MorphOS is all thats around right now.

Asking Amiga people to just be happy with an emulator is like asking Windows people to be happy just using VirtualPC or asking Mac people to be happy running Basilisk on Windows.
