Hi folks!

Today I've added a new section to my AmigaOne page: The AmigaOne MAQ (MOL Answered Questions). This section covers problems related to running MacOnLinux on the AmigaOne. It also contains the "AmigaOne MOL software campatibility" chart. The idea of this chart is to gather information on which software works and which doesn't, hopefully saving people some time, money and frustration. Currently, the list is fairly short, which is why I need contributions. If you have tested a piece of software under MOL on your AmigaOne, please, send me an email or a PM with the following information:
*The name of the software.
*The category (game, application, browser, etc.).
*Whether it works or not.
*(Optional) A comment.

Any other input to my page (additional questions, answers, useful software) would be most appreciated as well. Thanks in advance.

Nice page

Yep, excellent, already been of use to me today!

Thanks guys, just trying to make myself useful, and offload the experts a little bit. I've used a lot of their time getting this information.

hehehee nice, the old KAQ and the new MAQ!

I've added Starcraft: Brood War to the list, and added a comment on Starcraft. That's right, I got my stash from play.com today . Seems I was right when gambling that the Mac version would be included.

So far, the compatibility chart contains 13 entries, all tested by me, and all games. Certainly, someone here must have tested something which isn't on the list? Please send me an email or PM if you have. I can't test every piece of Mac software out there by myself, you know.

Another slight update: Added Syndicate and Conquest of the New World. I've also added a column to show what version of MacOS it was tested on, as I think OSX and MacOS Classic have slightly different compatbilities.

Another update:
Added two utilities to the compatibility chart, and information on getting the second mousebutton working under MacOS9 to the Q&A section.

Is there a reason you haven't tried OS X?

I have used it on several occasions on at my university. The reason I don't have it at home is mostly that it is very expensive, and not strictly necessary for my use. I mostly use MOL to run games, and pretty much all the games which run well on the AmigaOne under MOL are OS9 compatible.

Another slight update: Baldur's Gate II has been added to the compatibility chart, thanks to my first ever outside contribution . Hopefully it will not be the last. I will now stop reporting all the minor updates here, but do drop by my page sometimes, as I plan to keep working on it.

I appreciate the suggestion; I am considering it for future use.
