AmigaOS runs on Mac MINI! Moana Project revealed!
« on: May 31, 2007, 09:47:26 AM »
(These news are of some days ago but passed unnoticed on Amiga.org)

In a discussion which was presented as exhibit in the court trial that is opposing Amiga Inc. and Hyperion between the CEO of Amiga INc. Bill Mc.Ewen and Nicola Morocutti representative of ACube Systems Italy, the italian manufacturer revealed that AmigaOS is ready to run on Macintosh hardware.

ACube are also manufacturers of Samantha Sam440EP Motherboard.

At page 31-32 of the pdf file.



YES! What you all think it was impossible it is now a reality!


AMIGA OS RUNS ON MACINTOSH PPC! :-o



It has been spotted by Bill himself running on MacMINI PPC clocked at 1.42 GHz (The fastest Amiga ever!).



And if the Moana (this is the codename of the project) will be sold on the market, then we all can purchase cheap PPC Macintosh hardware on EBAY or on second-hand stores, and run AmigaOS on it.

If you have Mac PPC based you are lucky!

Despite the lack of any Amiga Hardware available we could again run AmigaOS and can run it on very good manufactured hardware such as that one from Apple!

-----

In that discussion mr. Morocutti asked Bill Mc. Ewen to grant to ACube the licence to sell AmigaOS 4.0 bundled with Moana (the program which loads AmigaOS onto Macintosh hardware).

Unfortunately Bill Mc. Ewen wiped out without answering.

Recently Amiga Inc. represented by Bill Mc. Ewen preferred to sue Hyperion in order to get back all licences and source code of AmigaOS 4.0.

We hope that whoever will win the court trial (HYperion or Amiga Inc.) then will decide to grant ACube to licence Moana!

WARNING!

In another exhibit it has been stated that Friedens have all the plans to let AmigaOS run on CELL Processors.

Cell processors are those CPUS equpping Playstation 3.    :roll:  ;-)

Didn't they say that would be impossible since Apple would not give out information needed to do the port?


Yes. But you must thanks italian hacker who have accomplished the quest!

What's changed since they told everyone that it wasn't possible to do a OS4 port to Macs?   Oh yeah, they ran out of Teron mobos to sell with OS4. :lol:

Well Dammy. It is clear that Acube Systems Italy have spotted the existing Macintosh PPC market enough viable to expand our userbase...

Many amigans who doesn't have AmigaONEs could buy el cheapo EBAY or second-store market Macintosh PPC based.

Many former amigans who left our platform and migrate to Macintosh due to the lack of OS in the past years, or due to the lack of AmigaONE hardware since 2002, now they have the chance to run AmigaOS on their macintoshes.

I posted these news on an italian MAC forums and these were widely accepted with interest and by former amigans with enthusiasm!

The most used comment is: «Che figata!» («How Cool!») :-D

Yeah, it's annoying how Apple won't release any information to allow OSs to be ported to run on Mac hardware. A version of Linux for the Mac would be great!

Oh hang on...

There is Yellow Dog Linux from Terrasoft which runs on PPC Macintoshes falwlessly!

And if I remember well they had received in the past direct informations by Apple on how to run it on their machines...
