It's progressing fine. The Mac Mini port currently lacks network and audio support. Thus, a while to go.
Last weekend it was publically demoed at Bad Bramstedt, e.g. a  1080p h.264 video fluently replayed by Mplayer was shown. It was also said to get rolled out as soon as possible, but there's no estimation *which* date it may be.

That is *truly* impressive! :-o :-D

BTW, I guess the MacMini was OC'd to 1.58GHz?

And was it a standard, public mplayer?

Wow, this is sounding great. Will this be any good on a G3 iBook do we think? Driver issues i'm guessing will be the biggest problem.

AFAIK it's Mac Mini *only*.

But that's great anyway. They are small, have only a single CPU (which is perfect for the Amiga), ATI Radeon 9200 graphics (which is good since drivers exist), they are the cheapest of the G4 Mac's (very important feature IMHO), and they can run at very nice speed. Besides, they are very good looking! :-)

The first MorphOS release with Mac support (most likely V2.3, V2.2 will come very soon and be for Peg & Efika) will introduce Mac Mini support only.

Let's see whether they will call the Mac enabled version 2.3 or 3.0. I mean, 2.0 to 2.1 (Pegasos and Efika) upgrade was *free* for registered users, and I guess the 2.1 to 2.2 will be as well (like 2.x), but with the Mac an entire new HW platform is introduced, so...

But the developer is all open to extend support o more Macs, namely Radeon driven G4 notebooks.

Awesome! :-)

A laptop MorphOS system! Wow! :-)

But it also depends on availability of developer maschines...

What do you mean by that? It depends on some bounty system for hardware, or what?

Well, I'd chip in some for that! :-)
