What I'm primarily concerned with is whether or not it is possible to run MorphOS on an A1 or AOS4 on Pegasos. For that matter, is there any way to run AOS4 or Morphos on a Mac?
The reason I want to know all this is that I want a computer that will let me play with as many exotic OS's as possible. I'm not looking to replace my PC or anything like that.


If it's just for playing around with different OSs then the Pegasos has a bunch of different OSs either running or in development, at the moment it's MorphOS and a number of Linux distros (and MacOnLinux) but Haiku (formally OpenBeOS), Zeta, QNX, NewOS and several more should appear at some point.  (I used to work for the folks selling the Pegasos and was the one organising this, I'm not sure of their status at this point though).

OS4 does not run on Pegasos but my understanding is that it's a question of licensing. As to whether anyone will ever do the licensing is another question altogether.

MorphOS will not run on the AmigaONE, it did run on a previous version of the same board (I've even seen it) but the BIOS is different now so it would need modified to run, I don't expect those changes will be made.

I'm sure someone else can fill you in on the AmigaONE details.
