MorphOS for AmigaONE

Why in the name of sanity are you equating an proprietary Operating System with an open source game ? (with Quake, only the data is proprietary, or so it would appear)

Well let's pretend for a second that Quake
is closed, and then make the same analogy...or
pick a different game or other software and
plug it in the comparison instead. :-)

Great idea! And while we're at it we can pretend that the moon is made of green cheese and discuss the effects this will have on the sales of Gorgonzola.

I would venture that if you can run MacOnLinux on your AmigaOne, you have something capable of running MorphOS.

All we have to do is make MorphOS run on a rudimentary Macintosh

Maybe I'm a bit lost here, but it sounds rather like you're implying MOS is a clone of MacOS 9.x - which it isn't - or a variant of xxxxBSD, which I doubt it is either.

Doesn 't make sense, but then I can't understand why people would want to run OSX (basically a tarted-up  *nix clone) using MOL.

Maybe I need another drink  :-?  :-?

Technically MorphOS should run on an A1 without much change. You'd have to reflash the A1 to use OpenFirmware though.

Mmmm. While I agree that technically it shouldn't be difficult, I doubt reflashing the ROM would be a good idea : it's the ROM that's got the key to running AOS4 when it comes out (and it is when, not if, with that "when" looking increasingly similar to RSN).
If your ROM has been wiped, you've just thrown your Earlybird licence down the cludgie.

To be sure of being able to use MOS while waiting for AOS4,  and without burning your bridges, either MOS would have to be rewritten to be compatible with uBoot, or else some sort of hardware dual boot method - a bit like the old Amiga ROMS - would be needed.
