To buy or not to buy...

This is assuming you find a CyberstormPPC in working order which also doesn't competitively go through the roof on eBay.

It's annoying I've got the A4000, the Mediator 4000Di and the PCI cards all ready but no CyberstormPPC.

Is it not possible to upgrade the Cyberstorm you've already got I wonder?

Why shouldn't it? OS3.x is a 68k OS and can access a real PPC processor, so why shouldn't a PPC OS be able to access the real 68k processor?

I thought it was common knowledge that OS4 classic doesn't use the 68k CPU on the accelerator - I don't know why they did it this way but I can definitely tell you THEY DID. Sorry.

Going off further comments, it sounds like you're only real option would be to dual-boot. Well, that's if you really HAVE to own and run OS4.

I personally think this is a lot of hassle. I mean.. how much lifespan do these PPC cards have left in them anyway?

Well Moto, didn't you used to own a PegII with MorphOS on it? What kind of things did you used to do on that?

You might even be able to answer your own question here. ;-)
