Well, I've just been playing around with it for a little while (btw
I'm posting from MOS on my CS-PPC right now, using Voyager 3.3.125 for
MorphOS).
It seems somewhat slower on my 200 MHz 604e than OS3.9 on my 60 MHz
68060, I guess it could partially be because the filesystem is 68k and
thus requires emulation (right?). Anyway, I definately will spend some
time with it, I have yet to produce sound from my DelfinaPlus. And I
will try to figure out how to get >28kHz sound from paula in
MOS.

My setup:
A4000T/CS-PPC/CV-PPC
MOS 1.45 installed on a separate HD-partition
resetlevel=5 (all other stuff is left as in the example on
powerup.morphos-team.net)

And remeber to put your 680x0.libraries in libs: on your MorphOS
partition! The 'startup'-program fails without them.

Regarding screenmodes, you have to reboot once after you 'make' them in ModeEdit.
Yup, the pointer is a bit sluggish sometimes, and browsing my disks is slow (probably due to 68k PFS). The lack of Icons in the MorphOS directory annoys me, so I'll have to fix it... Voyager seems faster than on 68k, but I haven't used Voyager on 68k for a loong while (IBrowse is much better IMHO), I guess I'll try AWeb sometime too.
And I will definately get rid of the drive-clicking....
But still, this is definately worth the time.

EDIT: SysSpeed results

OS3.9: 68k 80 MIPS, 32 MFLOPS PPC 271 MIPS 179 MFLOPS
MOS:  68k 9 MIPS 11 MFLOPS PPC 270 MIPS 178 MFLOPS

MorphOS directory is meant to be private... thus no icons there.


But, eh, the prefs program is in there, and obviously is nice to access every now and then.

I did make a bootable partition and copied everything from the CD to the partition on my harddrive but nothing happens when I'm trying to boot?!
Maybe I need to change something, I'm not so handy with this kind of problems =)

I have a A1200T with BPPC+BVision

Have you copied your 68040/68060.libraries to (root):libs/ the new MorphOS partition? What filesystem are you using, and is the partition within the first 4 GB of the drive?(important when using FFS).
