Are there any good side-by-side comparisons available which show the differences between MorphOS and AmigaOS4, including hardware and software compatibility?  Aside from AROS, are there any other AmigaOS-a-likes which merit investigation?

I'm seriously wanting to move into the PPC Amiga world.  But with a dead CSPPC, it looks like my best chances are MorphOS on some new hardware than AmigaOS4 on a repaired CSPPC in a 16 yo A4000D.

You can order an EFIKA for $99 from Directron.com and get the MorphOS 2.0 ISO.


How so?

[EDIT]: Nevermind, I found the download links for the time-limited ISO. :-D

For people who still have doubts about how well MorphOS runs on a 128MB 400Mhz Efika, check out this demo video from AmiTopia TV - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izCLp5juGm8

I'd definitely get one and MorphOS if I had an income!


You an me, both, sister.  Maybe I can part with one of my 060 boxes in exchange.  Would *you* cash out on a 4000D, CyberStorm MKIII, 128MB RAM, Picasso IV, 18GB hard drive, and UW CD-ROM for an Efika system??   :cry:  Would mean saying good-bye to a lot of Amiga history on my side of things... well over 15 years.

setenv boot-device ide:0
setenv boot-file boot.img [any extra boot options here]
setenv auto-boot-timeout 5000 [that's 5 seconds, adjust if you like]
setenv auto-boot? true


That looks like stuff from a Sun SPARC machine... are Open Firmware and Open Boot related?
