Any chance that you could give us the specs of your Powerbook? :)

The 12" Ibook had almost the same specs as the now supported Mac mini. (32mb Radeon 9200)
Maybe after he gets the laptop specific stuff working on the powerbook the ibook could come later?

Yep. Looks like a top-o'-the-line 15" model.

(The adorable little 12" version uses a different graphics chip, unfortunately, so I don't think we'll be seeing support for that any time soon.)

Here's a video I shot some time ago. It shows my PowerBook G4 system booting up the MorphOS 3.0 (development branch):

PowerBook-G4-MorphOS-3-sneak-preview.mp4

Please note that this isn't official confirmation of any kind. A lot of support infrastructure for laptop usage is still missing, as well as some drivers.

PS. Sorry for the poor video quality.
PPS. We don't need any beta testers for the PowerBook version for now.


Wow, I can't believe it's almost been 2 years since this was posted. That's Amiga time for you.

Well 18 months, or 1.5 years.


Take all the time you want Piru. I know you guys don't put stuff out until it's top notch. I was just pointing out how long things can take in the Amiga world since most of the projects are sometimes done by just one person.
