Why no new hardware for MorphOS??

[gazgod]

As none of the "OS4" boards can be bought without a OS4 licence and considering the history between Hyperion and the Morphos developers why would they consider port to those boards and increasing sales of the persons company who has done everything he can to destroy Morphos's reputation?

Personally I wouldn't give Hyperion the steam of my p*ss let alone any more money.

That and I picked up a 1.2gig G4 tower for free that was been used as a door stop at a client office

well considering 5 years ago according to many the PPC market was dead but here we are now with new PPC boards available for AmigaOS.  I'll eventually upgade my Sam440 to a new board by either ACube or A-Eon and that opens up the used market for older PPC boards which is a great thing indeed bringing prices down for those that want to get into the scene again.

No 5 years ago the PPC markets for the desktop was dead, it still is. OS4 has just been ported to boards that are designed and only suitable for embedded application where the PPC is still very popular. The X1000 is the exception to this but it is due to one mans desire to have a fast(ish) OS4 machine and not anything to do with the reality of the computing world.

Lucky!

Indeed, it even had a radeon 9100 GFX card

I gotta say... the only time I ever worry much about power consumption in personal computers is when they need to run off batteries. Perhaps electricity is far cheaper where I live than elsewhere in the world. I dunno.

I don't worry about power consumption either, personally I'm used to running big iron professionally and as a hobby, the power usage of any desktop system pales into insignificance next to machines that need 30 or 40 amp supplies. What I really want is 3 phase to my garage so I can play with the really big stuff at home

This is what kept me from grabbing a very good deal on a Cray.

 I didn't get an Sun E10K(for free) for the same reason then later found it can be modded to run on a 30 amp 2 phase supply
