Didn't Argo make a post about this?
Cool anyway!
Is 3D hardware acceleration supported by MOL?
Would be nice to see someone run Q3 on an A1...

Man - if this is the case you effectivly have a mac on a shoestring budget - very interesting. It will be of interest to my mates who freelance, and cant afford the latest high end macs..... Roll on bigger badder A1's :-)

I really really hope that MOL will be ported to OS4.

@Bob
AFAIK this is limited to MacOS_9, and that had more or less been
declared dead by Apple.

@Whabang
MOL is Mac on Linux and it does say Linux for a reason  ;-)
Porting it to OS4 would be just as easy as any other big Linux-thing
like QT/KDE,GTK or OpenOffice.

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.

5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

But there is still a large app base out there for OS9.

Win 3.11 was declared dead ages ago but I still know companies torturing their employees with that (semi) OS, just because it runs certain apps that they need.

@red
Sure it is good news !!
But if it really was that easy it should be no prob on the Pegasos to,
and might be even possible on APUS-Linux (bit slow probraly).

But then if I wanted to run Mac-SW, I would look for a used iMac or so  ;-)

The Peg has been debugged with Linux just like A1/TeronCX.

Has been running atleast since spring 2001.
 (maybe before, but not confirmed)

Does anyone knows why they can`t do something similar for MacOS X? Anyway I`ll be glad to see it ported on AmigaOS 4.0
