Wow, these guys are machines! What's that, 5 major releases in a year?

Great work!

@spectre

It seems so. Too much hassle.
Anyway I have a Powerbook for Mos 3.8

I was just curious how it performs on Sam460.

@danwood

Any chance you do a reasonably indepth youtube review of the latest MorphOS version?

Only 49 euros for the Sam460, thats a pleasant surprise.

What an impressive list of changes and improvements. Will update quite soon. And I am looking forward to reports from Sam460 owners. It's nice to have support for these boards now, too. and funnily even the coming X5000 support has its first marks in this release already (a few e5500 adjustments already there in this release). The registration fee for Sam460 is with EUR49 a real bargain (remember: updates are free of charge).

Well, MorphOS license has been cheaper for older / slower hardware for quite a while already (while iirc G5 and PowerBook are more expensive), so no real changes there.

Great news.

Congratulations to the MorphOS Team and to SAM owners.

EDIT: Downloaded - Powerbook updated in less than 5 minutes.
One thing I like about new MorphOS releases: it takes longer to read the list of changes than it does to actually perform the upgrade.

@SinanG

I thought for some reason that default video output could be selected in uBoot. It would be a shame if you had to remove the unsupported card to boot.

@Overflow

Yeah probably due a re-visit, especially as I run it on a G5 now. I've got a capture card now as well so can get a much higher quality video done.

hey dan! you wanna do another MorphOS review on youtube? :)
i really like your videos. You're doing a great job.

@OnTopic

MorphOS 3.8 now runs on my PowerBook G4 and G5. No problems at all! Thanks MorphOS Team. Now i'm waiting for Isochronous USB Mode =)

The airpot support for Mac Mini, is available?
And thanks for the update MorphOS team.

Although todd later the Sam460ex support for my Sam.

@Templario

Airport support for Mac-Mini has been included since MorphOS 3.6.

Sorry to hear about your Sam dying.
FWIW I lost my Efika recently. The moral of the unhappy story is that you should never mix a 12V AC Power adapter (as used for example on a Gale subwoofer) in with your 12V DC Power adapters (as used for example on everything that is not a Gale subwoofer).

When my brother was about 12 he got an Atari VCS, without a power supply, from a car boot sale. He decided to power it up using a headphone jack wired to a mains plug. Needless to say, there was a quite a big pop and upon opening the console for inspection, we found a few centimetres of thick copper track had lifted from the PCB.

@Rob

You've got to admire the attempt!

When I was 3 we were playing 'hide the penny' (simpler times) - I thought no-one would find it if I hid it between the plug and the mains socket.
A whitened finger-end marked the beginning of a steep learning curve, and gave me a deep respect for electricity.

Wonderfull! Would be possible to move my licence from the macmini to the Sam

Of course not, the license enables MorphOS on one particular machine.

But why would you want to do that anyway? The Mac Mini is much more powerful!

IIRC, you must prove your hardware is broken to get a valid keyfile.

Hey, your "advice" almost borders to encouraging piracy! Don't exploit their "warranty", Support our Developers!

Well...

The CPU (G4) is the only advantage the Mac Mini has!
The Radeon HD -cards that Sam460ex normally is equipped with, is far superior Mac Mini:s Radeon 9200.
The Northbrige in Sam460ex is also superior...

@Nicsoft

Mac Mini has built-in wlan what SAM does not =P

(Albeit I dont remember if built-in WLAN was in old 1.42 Minis?)

1.33GHz and 1.5GHz models have it by default, but on other models it was/is optional.
