A customer is retiring some machines and clearing out some old store, and it falls upon me to clean the hard drives and dispose of the systems (mainly testing and handing over to a guy who refurbishes them for needy families.)

But one system caught my eye right off.  A Motorola StarMax 180MHz PowerPC machine.  I immediately thought, I wonder if this would be viable for some PowerPC variant of AmigaOS, be it OS4 or MorphOS.  Any thoughts?


who is going to do the port to it and why? how readily available is the used hardware?  what does it offer that current old PPC systems dont?

yea I think "Nah.." was the correct reply unfortunately.  Just support whats out there.
