MOS up and running!

[Boot_WB]

Just installed MorphOS on my new a4000d.

Thought it wasn't going to work for a while, as it failed to continue loading after the first reboot.  Finally figured out (thanks to A.org) that I needed to use the module.com1.idehack module rather than the module.com1 one.

Now I have two brand new OSes to populate with applications.  Will be trying for a third. Does anyone know if the cyberstorm's scsi bus is yet supported by APUS - I know in earlier releases it wasn't, but not sure if anyone incorporated support for it or not.

Now:
A4000d + CSPPC(060/200) 128 mb ram + Toccata + Cybervision64 + X-Surf2 + Scandex.
A1200 (Power tower) + BPPC (060/210) 256mb ram + BVision + MA401

Next step is to downsize the a1200 setup back into a desktop case, upgrade the graphics card to CVPPC and rationalise the collection of components.

Thanks to Craig for selling his setup.

Nice one! MorphOS is cool. How fast is it on a classic?

Nice and congrats

 :-)

Think it was my thread you looked in, would never have managed to get it working without the help of the people here.

Is it fast with your Cybervision?

At the moment I'm not exactly puching the boundaries of capability, I'm still trying to get the damn thing on the net to register (amigaz - PM sent for the patched x-surf driver).

I've noticed a bit of jerkiness when running several things at once, but file operations are nice and smooth - copying between ram and disk, unpacking with XADunfile.  I understand ambient is pretty resource hungry (for an Amiga-OS gui), so may try to work in ways which will minimise that. I don't have a Peg2 to compare with, but am looking forward to finding out what a ppc native OS can do on the a4k. I'll find out over the coming weeks I suppose.

Wish Morphos came with a text editor at least though, it's a bit catch-22 having to edit mosnet config files to get on the net, but having to go on the net to download an editor to edit them with!  Fortunately my OS3.9 partition is sufficiently installed to go on the net (and there's always the PC if I'm desperate).

Just use C:Ed from your OS3.9 install. It works well enough under MOS to edit the MOSNet config files.
