No shame at all - I have one of these  :-)

IMHO next big step for the community would be...

MorphOS for SAM440 support....

Nothing is like competition....

It would increase sales of SAM440 while users wait for legal issues with OS4 to be resolved...

And if AInc wins case eventualy, they would make sure that SAM440 is not produced in vain...

And if Hype wins, we could have dual boot on machine.... fantastic....

It does indeed.

However, with that background music the word 'sexy' immediately vanishes from my thoughts :lol:

From old threads at MorphZone i got the impression that the MOS-Team (or parts of it) are against supporting a dead platform (PPC Mac). And now - surprise. Dont know what to think about it...


Well if this is true we are talking about another vaporware in the amiga world... is nice to see this video but only a video.

Why whould they do this.  I would think that they would have nothing to do with releasing os4 for SAM440 as Acube have jumped into bed with hyperion.  Would think that Ainc would not want to do them any favours.

The only way u will see OS4 on sam440 is if Hyperion win the case

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?



MOS 2.0 interface looks fancier than 1.4.5..at least that system info box looked nicer..nice font also.  Are they going to release more screenshots of 2.0 ?

Did they also give a ETA on when 2.0 is going to come out? Ie. "2008 for sure dewds".  ?

If this is true, and if MOS2.0 is released on any model of PPC Mac before the legal troubles for OS4 are cleared up and new hardware for OS4 is released, sales of any new OS4 hardware and software are going to be severely hurt because of the competition by MOS2.0 on semi-cheap used PPC Mac hardware.

"doesn't mean it's gonna be available any time soon."


Piru,
Will it work only on the Mac Mini or will other Apple G4-class machines be able to use it?
