I think OS4 CAN be run on MAC MINI (USABLE)

[gaula92]

MorphOS for the Mini? It's been a while since we heard of it. I said it other times: I don't believe it's gonna be released. Amiga OS4 for the mini, even in an "alternative" way seems a good alternative to me.

TheCrow, what hard disk/partitions do you have? C'mon man, give us some more info...

[TheMagicM]

MorphOS for the mini will be released.  :-)

Better yet,make MorphOS run on as many G3/G4/G5 as possible;Apple used a limited number of video cards in factory configurations.Most of the Apple PPC towers will host at least 1.5GB of ram,some more.
An OS which brags about being light on resources ought to deal well with 768Mb ram ,in my opinion.I use 768 because that is 3 cheap 256 dimms .

But while waiting for mos, os4 experimenting is cool.
Gaula, i have not had much time lately so no much news in the installation scheme. Hdtoolbox sees the hd and dvddrive correctly, but i need to be sure about the steps involved because i don't want to screw my osx installation.
I will people informed as soon as i get anything new.

ok ok... you tell us that your 1,42ghz, 1gb ram, radeon 32mb, works with moana and rest of the info is mistery like ever   :-P please lest talk about it in the good way or lest forget this.

[TheMagicM]

where's the proof?

got a video that shows a monitor hooked up to the Mac Mini that isnt blurry and shows the cable going from the mini to the monitor?

If you got it working, thats good.. I wonder how unstable it is and what all you can do with it.

[gaula92]

It works, there is a lot of people reporting it boots. I believe The_CroW. In fact, it DOES work in my mini but shows a corrupted graphic screen, that's all..

[kickstart]

Work in your macmini but a corrupted screen is showed... i call to it that doesnt work.

[TheMagicM]

a corrputed screen = doesnt work = unuseable.

Why do you say that you don't think MorphOS "gonna be released" for the MacMini after one of the MorphOS development team has shown a screen shot of it running on his personal MacMini?  Then you turn around and say that AmigaOS4 for the MacMini seems good when the AmigaOS developers have stated over and over again that they are not working on porting to the MacMini and that anyone running the stolen Moana files to get AmigaOS4 running on their MacMini would be breaking the law, as the code is stolen and should never have been distributed in any way or form.

Law? What law? Stolen code? What do you mean? It was/is out there in the open and noone did or is doing squat about it - normally that means "public domain".

And I can buy software and get it running on whatever hardware I like, no matter what the EULAs say - without breaking any laws.

So if someone steals source code, or program executables with keyfiles and posts them to a Pirate site on the Internet, it makes it Public Domain just because no one is "Doing Squat" about it??? You are funny! :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

[TheMagicM]

my take on Moana and piracy in general...

What you do on your time is your business.  Just dont post a link on AO.  If you have a copy of Moana, more power to you, I'll download it just for the heck of it if you'all get it working so I can test it out.

Hello everyone, I have read the thread as I stumbled upon a mac mini G4
and a moana cd but I can't get it to work..My mini is 1,25GHZ 1GB RAM
ATI RADEON 32 MB and boot rom 4.8.9f1.
 
Option a gives me a black screen and option b give me a corrupted screen output..
 
Has someone finally found a solution about this?Can the moana cd work
in other MAC minis except the 64mb ones?
 
Is this a problem of the boot rom?Can I update my rom to 4.9.4f1 in some way?Or is it a problem of the graphics card chip?
 
Please hlp.I am really stuck on this...

@lechuck

moana is useless without usb/Network/audio/mac partition support. Download here a fix for your problem: http://www.morphos-team.net/downloads.html
