I do not understand why there are MacOS advertising on an Amiga forum?


They are not advertising MacOS, they are talking about MorphOS that happens to run on more then Apple machines.

They are neither advertising.

Edit: here is Mac OS, it has nothing to do with MorphOS.

Here is the supported hardware quoted from Wikipedia, not only Apple machines there.

@halvliter'n

You could allways buy a EFIKA.
Other then that the post about Mac OS advertising was quite strange after you wrote in a previous post that you would want MorphOS?

Just ignore him I guess. It's his decision to not want a mac but he can't stop us talking about Apple hardware where MorphOS runs now.

After some struggle trying to figure out how to open the darn CD tray and boot from it (LOL, Apple newbie here!)I managed to boot the MorphOS CD on my eMac. It is SWEET!!!! LOVE IT already. Boots in no time and it really does have the Amiga Workbench feeling. Seems to be snappy and fast. Porting MorphOS to eMac was an excellent Idea IMO.


Sweet :) I go the same feeling when I booted up my Mac Mini with MorphOS the first time :D Isen't it great ;)

And yes, porting to eMac was a good choice, cheep and without alot of trouble you can use a TFT monitor to it. Also the eMac is capable of using 2GB of ram :)

The Mac mini has the same FSB, Same kind of PC2700 RAM, so they are quite alike, besides the eMac has a lower CPU clockspeed then three of the Mac minis, also the later Minis can have 64 MB of DDR SDRAM wich I like alot :)

So they have quite the same preformance, I wanted a Mini because of the size.

Would tho be nice to se some benchmarks on both machines (all the PPC Minis and the 1,25GHz eMac)

Edit: According to the benchmarks here running all minis vs the 1.25GHz eMac the Minis wins on all tests but the MPEG4 Conversion Times when the eMac wins with 0.5 Seconds ;)
How come?

Okay  then, MacMorphOS?


Are you blind? MorphOS DO NOT only run on Mac's -_-

You are just writing here to annoy people aren't you?

Oh, also because Windows are possible to run on x86 macs, does that make it MacWindows then?

Same goes for Linux, there are distros for a endless count of architectures and machines. Still it's not called for example BeagleLinux?

Aaaa.. MorphLinux?


Now your just plain stupid, and trying to bust my balls ;)

Ill leave you to yourself, do whatever you like, call it whatever you like.

Now back to topic.

I will asap buy a MorphOS license for my Mini, tho I wish I would know how long this reduced price would last since it's 5 days left for my salary to fly on my account ;)

The anniversary of the 2.0 release is on June 30th, so I guess it would make sense to keep the reduced pricing at least until then.


The same day I get my salery :O I cross my fingers!

So why not an x86 version then?

Have you ever heard of the search button?
Here is a thread just about what you asked for.
