Erm yes

Thats what everybody is talking about here.....

MorphOS does work not only on the MacMini but also on every G4-tower with AGP-graphics.

Just download the ISO, insert it, press C while booting and see for yourself.

What, even matrox and nVidia AGP cards? I thought it was only Radeon?

Nitpicking:

Sure it works with every G4-Tower-Mobo, wether it works with a specific GFX-card is another matter.

Jackpot! That's a fine maschine for MorphOS. If you happen to have an nVidia card or Matrox gfx card though, you'll need to replace it with an ATI gfx card (use a Mac original card, not a flshed x86 card), but generally all G4 Apple PowerMacs are supported by MorphOS.
Just do the following:
Grab an empty CDR, point your browser to http://www.morphos.de, start the download, burn the image to the CDR and boot off your Powermac G4 straight from CD into the live system (or install MorphOS on the hdd).

If you have questions about MorphOS just ask on the usual forums or visit #MorphOS on freenode.

Hi all ive just bought a fully working mac g4 (not a mini) with original keyboard, mouse and monitor. What i want to know is, is it possible to install amiga os 4.1 onto it ?

TIA

Hi, I'm sure you saw. or heard, that the xperimental Moana loader ran OS4.1 on a Mac Mini but this was not an official port and was quite buggy so the answer is simply NO; however, you can happily run MorpHOS on some old Mac's so check out thier homepage for more info.
If you want to run AmigaOS4.1 update 2 then you need to run it on either:

- classic systems with PPC cards- soon to be out
- Peg II's
- Sam440ep (by ACube)
- Sam440ep flex (by ACube)
- Sam460ex ("  ")- soon to be out
- AmigaOne X1000 (byA-Eon)- hopefully soon to be out

Also, if you have an old PC lying around you might want to try AROS as it's been progressing nicely lately and runs on many different x86 architectures
