Great so if this is real old Mac Mini's will soon be the price of a Cyberstorm PPC card.

Would be even beter if it ran on the Mac G4 Digital Audio I sold a while back. There are soooo many of those out there.

Naah, millions of PPC Mac minis out there only a couple thousand working Phase 5 PPC cards out there at best. The more time passes, the more used PPC Mac Minis will go for sale second hand.

Ah the insanity of being an Amiga enthusiast. You gotta love it.

It'll probably run on a PS3 before Efika, Amiga One, or "Insert Future Hardware Here" etc.

Actually take that back, I should try and boot OS4 off my Scientific Atlanta 4300 cable box.

What other mass produced PPC G4 based Mac Mini like products are there?

hmmm...

Heh...

I'm still hoping to see MOS for my EFIKA.

'Of course I bought it for MOS'

I thought the $99 price tag was meant as a 'big push' to get some potential MOS customers.  I did not know that the connection between MOS and Genesi was not very strong.

I would probably use a Mac mini to run Mac OS.  I have had an opportunity to use a Mac for a little while and really enjoyed it.

Would I try to play with OS4, or MOS on my Mac?

Yes, I would probably give 'em both a go.

Good luck to anyone who tries to think outside the 'Window'.

my $0.02

The port is real and "official".

However, it is unlikely that any mac version would make it to the first MOS 2.0 batch: Pegasos I, Pegasos II and Efika come first.

This Mac port is not ready either, so hold your horses. Don't go out spend your last savings on Mac Mini assuming you can grab MorphOS for it tomorrow. These things take time. Any potential release can only happen once the port is finished.

But dang, it looks quite sexy, huh? :-)

Wow, All kinds of stuff going on. At this point I would be happy running MorphOS 2.0 or OS4 on a Mac Mini.

Either one would be cool.
