On topic:

AmigaOS 3.9 is possible via emulation (WinUAE, AmigaForever)
MorphOS is not possible.

Would be lovely to run Morphos on x86!  Sadly its only a dream, because for strange reason everyone is still using ppc.

Emulation might work.  Haven't seen anyone using morphos on a pc, I dare say its possible with something like pearpc.  But you've goto own a pegasos in order to get morphos.  I remember seeing a pic some developer posted of morphos running on a old imac.  Imac 466 or something!  How old is that!

What kind of hack would allow MorphOS to run on an iMac? Or does that need some serious hardware add-ons?
In other words: does MorphOS tecnically run on just a PPC or does it need extra specific hardware to run?

MorphOS does not run on pearpc or iMac.

MorphOS was developed on CS PPC and BPPC cards, not iMac. Your memory must be failing somehow.
