welcome to the efika club. its a nice machine but with several hamstrings attached ;) usb1, poor ide and only 2 usb slots.

I've updated to mos2.1. What I wont be doing is paying for a registration.

AROS is coming for efika ;)

I think I posted in one of your other threads. I had no problems installing 2.1 over 2.0. I booted the new boot.img over ethernet and installed the 2.1 iso from my usb stick.

I made sure to get my 2.1 images+iso's from the primary rather than any mirrors as I remember some 2.0 installs had some odd issues but gettting the primary images fixed it vs mirrored images.

Since I wont pay for a rego I dont use it much. DP5.2 crashes me all the time tho :( locks up solid.

runs nicer than 2.0 did tho.

Well I would agree if you were just buying a keyfile, but you are actually buying an entire OS and repaying the team of coders that have worked so long and hard to bring you such a fine PPC OS.


well if it were my day to day bread and butter I'd pay for it, but its not, its a hobby for me, so just over 200usd is
seriously NOT worth it to me for how much I'd use it. I have more interest in AROS than MorphOS.

Hi Dave, the dual CF converter _might_ be problematic not sure, if the single sided one is 100% transparent to the IDE interface it should be ok, but I have my doubts about the dual. It may work fine and if its cheap might be worth checking out. EFIKA is odd at best of times ;)
