Hi all ive just bought a fully working mac g4 (not a mini) with original keyboard, mouse and monitor. What i want to know is, is it possible to install amiga os 4.1 onto it ?

TIA

Nope!

For the Mini (which isn't what you have), there is a thing called "Moana", by which I believe you could bring up OS4.0 (not 4.1.x though) to at least a running state (although I don't think there are driver support for all HW controllers?).  I have downloaded it myself, but never bothered to try it out...

For other kinds of Mac, you are completely out of luck. :(

Good news is that you could try out MorphOS (since beyond Pegasos 1 & 2 and Efika, MorphOS also supports eMac's (really cheap), Mac mini G4's (really small and powerful), Power Mac G4's (expandable, cheap and/or powerful), and soon PowerBook (laptop!) :)) completely for free!

:)

Edit: http://morphos-team.net/downloads.html

So what Mac do you have?

@carvedeye

When you have installed MorphOS on it, please consider checking out "Pack Ultimate" to really get going on the fly! :)
