| Great work. Finally can dust of my Mac Mini and get it to work with MorphOS. Would have been nice if OS 4.1 would also run on it but this is good too.

| Well this is certainly good news that will push MorphOS ahead. But I do wonder, why didn't they chose a Mac laptop instead?
If it's running on the Mac why not produce the first Amiga clone OS that runs on a laptop?  The oppertunity still awaits. |

| This is great! AmigaOS 4.1 might as well get support for using Mac Minis, too. It's a logical step which will make the hardware issue of the Amiga much easier..

| With this step MorphOS became the first so called next gen amigaos, that runs on generally available cheap and powerful hardware and not only on boards that are rare, only a few thousand were produced and expensive. It would be a great opportunity, but sadly I feel it's too late. |

Because it's more complex to support a laptop, and it takes longer. (Few keywords as hint: power management, batterly level, screen brigthess, wifi, sleep mode...) I think the Mini was quite a logical first step.

| @Hypex, @Chain-Q:
And if we check Piru's website it says: "PowerBook G4 running PowerPC 7447B (G4) 1.67GHz. 2GB of DDR2 RAM, 250GB 2.5" HDD, Bluetooth, Airport Extreme, dual layer 8X DVD-RW drive. Running MorphOS cvs version"
I think the laptop version is not so far away and can be the next (logical) step. Last edited by neongod on 15-Oct-2009 at 08:51 AM.

I hope you meant the domain... (amiga.de, which is - btw - not registered anymore; it was a redirection to amiga.com once, but 'ya know - no money, no re-registrations...  )
