The userbase is probably even smaller than OS4, so no one dares investing in it. But MorphOS could probably be ported to the existing new hardware if the developers wanted to.

What HW are MorphOS supposed to run on, in the future, when applications requires more speed/memory etc. than available on the old Mac hardware?

I think if you look at the last of the line PPC Macs there are still pretty tasty for anything Amiga related.  even close to the the specs of the X1000

Yes but in the future - the hardware will not be capable of doing task, which then is considered as ordinary tasks. So someday MorphOS has to get on faster hardware - there is now way around this.

How good are you with repairs? I have a good spare CRT I'm looking to dump. Cap kits are cheap on eBay.

Who want's to use  computer with a CRT display, for daily use?
