This is GREAT news! I no longer have a PowerMac G5, but I bet the iMac G5 support won't be too far along.

Kinda strange to hear they jumped over the iMac though in favor of PowerMac's based on the previous incarnations. Hmmm. Oh well. If/when iMac support becomes a reality, might just give me the excuse to turn my main computer into a MorphOS machine and purchase a shiny new 24" or 27" iMac  :)

Well maybe I should tell you that all iMacs feature NVidia-GFX chips, and that sofar noone in the MorphOS-team has shown real interest in those ;)
Politics getting in the way here?

MorphOS developers aren't crazy about WiFi or Bluetooth either, yet MacMini platform is supported. Okay, so you don't need WiFi or BT to display a picture.  :)

Maybe it's just that they don't have unlimited resources?

These are extremely bright lads. Do we need to supplant the MorphOS license with an NVidia development book fund too?  lol

If so, I'd be happy to donate. May as well get 'em a Mac Bluetooth and WiFi book too while we're at it  :laughing:
