There's a picture available that shows a monitor plugged into a silver box the size of an external 3.5" Hard Drive enclosure and it appears to be running MorphOS.  Could that be an Efika?!   :-o


On this picture that's showing the MorphOS network configuration window, you see a blurry text at the top that say: "mpc52xx_eth.device". As you know, MPC5200 is the CPU in the Efika. :-)

It's coming! :-)
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

I'm wondering what else MOS2.0 delivers, that makes it 2.0 rather than 1.5.


Good question. Rumors say that many fundamental changes "under the hood" has taken place. I don't know what that may be. MUI4 is a major new thing, and I guess the Ambient ("Workbench") has traveled pretty far. TCP/IP stack, maybe even with support for the Pegasos gigabit ethernet, who knows? It looks like the HD Toolbox has become what it should have been from the beginning. Quite a lot has happened to the USB stack since the 1.4 release. It looks like Reggae will be an integral part?

All I've seen mentioned is transparent windows.


AFAIK, the big news there is not the transparency itself, but the fact that the GUI is rendered by the GFX hardware(?). If so, then it's kind of big I guess... ;-)

There must be more than that.  Is there some info embargo or something?


A valid question IMHO!  :roll:

Unfortunately we cannot reduce the price to match the US price.


They probably bought a batch to the "old" price, and didn't get rid of it before the price drop?
