@CodeSmith Why wouldnt it? Oh and as it happens I have a CSPPC A4000 and a BPPC A1200. I happened to test MOS on my A1200, which I betatest OS4 on most of the time

Ah, I didn't know that - I assumed that you had OS4 on an A1, and that's why I said it wasn't a fair comparison, G3/G4 vs 401/403 is kindof one-sided

@Trezzer
how much ram do you have?

No. It's to check how MorphOS arrived over here. Seems all the "MOS is teh evil!" guys are gone now? Huh

@Opi:
What I don't understand is: there was already support for PicassoIV, CV64 and such cards.
This means the drivers, the chip specific code is already there and implemented and working in CGX.
It shouldn't be that difficult to re-compile it ppc-native for MorphOS.
Look at AmigaOS4: there PicassoIV is working out of the box even with the 68k-driver.

In earlier versions, 68k CGX drivers worked. Much has changed since then, they need to be updated to work.

Cool that it's out now. Unfortunately I've written off updating the classic hardware to PPC. A mac mini port would be cool though, there's going to be a bit of orphaned PPC Macs available in the future.

What are you talking about? Since I started to visit this site about 2 years ago I
have maybe seen one or two persons that REALLY dislike MOS. Most have actually
been indifferent or disliked BBRV. Most of us actually wish MOS all the best but
we're not interrested in it. It's OS4 for us, that's why we are here and not in ANN.lu
or MorphZone all the time.

I have seen many MOS users talking #### about OS4 or Eyetech/A1 on ANN, amiga.org
or even somewhat on MorphZone but here on amigaworld.net there is not much
of that which is nice. But most of those people don't like when they are told that they
can't talk skit anymore so they go to ANN.lu and talk about how bad amigaworld.net
is.

If a users logs in he gets another few months before thrown out
Some logs on just to answer polls and such.

I don't see your point the user base is cleaned of inactive accounts, so if you login your account is marked as last logged in and the clean function will ignore you. just because you don't post doesn't mean your not active.

You misread, the member activity was based on account logins and not user postings.

Back when I actually ran a classic, I even used OS3.x workbench rather than either Dopey Mag or Scalos due to speed and stability over 'enhanced' feature set. (I still have my Aliendesign Scalos key somewhere.....that's how long I used Scalos for and it never was stable enough to use in preference to the alternatives.)

Agreed one of the great things about the Amiga community is that we have quite a few choices. Scalos is activily being worked on and DOpus Magellan for OS4 as well.

However at this stage there are even MOS users who prefer to emulate Workbench 3.x on top of MorphOS instead of using its native Ambient solution.

Workbench is good choise for low end systems (i.e. PowerUP Amigas) and many of us have used Workbench how long? Over 10, 15, 20 years?

On the other hand there are many AmigaOS users who replaced their Workbench by Scalos or Magellan II. Nobody cant please everybody

I don't think that's the case, there have been lots of MorphOS reviews and mostly these neglected or de-emphasized some the the system's key shortcomings, IMO resulting in possible unrealistic consumer expectations. IMO shoving such facts underneath the carpet is the worst thing the community could do.

The only really objective review I can think of is Eugenia's review for OSNews. She told me that due to the lack of a natice TCP/IP stack, stability issues and other issues the OS cannot in any regard be considered a viable OS for ordinary consumers.

Also MorphOS 1.4 since its release more than 2 years ago, the system has seen little progress and development tools are lagging behind considerably. This doesn't provide people with much confidence.

Don't get me wrong I *want* MorphOS to develop into a more serious solution. I was involved in getting Eugenia a Pegasos and I pushed Eugenia to have a look at the updates.

Oh? OK, sorry.

Are you maybe todi? And are multiple people using the "victim" account? Whom of the #AmigaZeux team are you?
