Installed 4.1 classic on my Cyberstorm PPC and A4000T with mediator. It is way faster on my emulated i7 machine. Not worth it at all.

Get yourself a classic PPC Mac and try MorphOS. Its by far the best way to go and for OS4.1 just use it on a PC. Even buying a specific PC for emulating it would be less money than getting a Cyberstorm and be faster in the end.

I have played with MorphOS on a G5 mac,  It seem quite amazing vs my 25 Mhz 68040s and my A3000s and A4000s.  In someways MorphOS (with it's clean OS on a G5) seems faster than modern PeeCees with all their OS overhead,  however their seems to be a lack of software for MorphOS.
How does AmigaOS 4.1 (on a PPC amiga) compare with MorphOS 3.9 on a G4 or G5 mac?  How does AmigaOS 4.1 emulated on WinUAE compare to MorphOS 3.9 on a G4 or G5 Mac?
What about software for morphos vs AmigaOS 4.1 vs 3.9?


I dont want to turn this thread into a MorphOS or AMigaOS 4.1 thread, but on the same hardware with one running and switch to the other MorphOS blows away the other in all areas. Moving to a Pegasos II and running the latest OS4.1 and MorphOS is also the same in that area.

Setting up OS4.1 Classic using the new Amiga Forever 2016 isnt that hard. Its well worth doing and comes with everything you need. If you are handy with scripting you can set the machine to boot directly into the environment with little effort.
