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

I really wish I can load this in my iBook G4 or G3!
it would be swell to transform the G3 into a MorphOS system!

There are couple of MOS 2.0 videos here:

I've never seen that before.  Wow..now that is cool.

MOS does the 3D cube also?  now that is SLICK!!!  neat desktop trick.  I'll download the rest of them..

I have a 1gHz G4 PowerBook with a display problem that I was not going to fix, but if either AOS4, or (preferably) MOS2.0 ever become available that will run on my broken PowerBook, I will be sending mine off to get fixed faster than you can say Amiga Inc. S#(ks A$$!

I would love to run MorphOS 2.x on my PowerBook.

Piru says it doesn't mean we are going to get it any time soon, but at least now, it looks like we will get it eventually, or in Amiga speak, just two more weeks.  :-D

That is very awesome news, too bad I bought an intel
MacMini. Guess there won't be any Rosetta like tranlator
so I will be stuck trying to find a PPC machine if this
version gets released. Still, 2 MacMinis stacked is still
a fraction of the size of a normal computer.

[Piru]

It is too early to specify which models would be supported eventually, but it's quite safe to rule out models based on other than radeon graphics cards (at least nvidia is out of the question).

Well there was also the eMac, which originally was sold to education only, but had a brief run on the home market

I have one of these for sale lying resident under my desk

If the port would go ahead it would make a nice MorphOS machine and an alternative to the MacMini..

If anyone would like to buy it for Amiga or non-Amiga purposes then drop me a PM since it is currently just taking up space

Edit: Dunno what happened there but I've been accidentally using IE so that might explain it..

The encoding is a big wonky, and seems to fail for some players when streaming. You should try downloading it first and then opening the file locally.

If that doesn't work, VLC or mplayer will play it at least.

Late reply,

I could not get the file to open with Quicktime from their site or from my hard drive, but finally was able to view it with Windows Media Player.

Is there any need of betatesting?
If so, let me know if you need more betatesters. I have a 1.5GHz Mac mini.

Hello, dear friend! How anyone would download MorphOS for macppc, when it will be released? Current registration system for ftp access need serial ID.

Of course could provide betatesting. I have powerbook, one of the last models.
:roll:

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

Well I did say this back in Januray, but damm how wrong was I.

Lets see if this works.

You will never see OS4 on the mac mini  :-D

[_ThEcRoW]

There is already os4 on the mac mini, only on certain models sadly.

Not by any sense of the word is there a USEABLE version of OS4 on the mac mini.  Its missing quite a lot of things like networking for instance
