Who would like to see MorphOS on SAM?

I read something similar about the x1000. Trevor Dick and his people sent Morphos a motherboard to try and get them to port over but they didn't want to because the cost would be too high just so a few users could try it out and see if they like it or not. This is significant as the x1000 is significantly more expensive than the Sam is...

I agree, it will never happen.  The only way it might happen, is if ACube un-bundles AmigaOS4.x from the SAM boards and also pays the MorphOS2.x development team a porting fee to complete a version of MorphOS2.x for any of the SAM boards.

I guess you could say that the SAM boards are already available without AmigaOS4.x through their "Industrial Purchase" program, but I don't know what the minimum number of boards is for such purchases, so it doesn't really apply to Amiga/Morph users that only buy one board at a time.

hmmmmm...  i wonder how much it would cost to port Morphos over to the Sams or the x1000. Any guesses?

Maybe $200000?

I asked Piru about that. He says they never received a board.

I'm not surprised. Has anyone received a board yet? Have they made any yet? What about the beta testers?
