Retro Activity: MorphOS 1.0

Posted by timothy on from the when-hobbies-get-stuck dept.

An anonymous reader submites: "You can read it from their development page if you like to get the word from the horses mouth. 'The current version is 1.0. Feedback welcome.' Hey, if you can't revive a dead horse, whip it some more, yeah?" All the better to run programs on their "old Commodore(TM) A1000, A500, A2000, A1200, A3000(T) and A4000(T) systems as efficiently as possible." Everyone has different uses for time.

    So all these ancient Commodore systems are growing in popularity but *BSD is dying, eh?

  2. Apple PPC's? by trans_err · · Score: 2, Insightful

    so what are the chances on using MorphOS on consumer Apple PPC's? Seems like a great alternative for old hardware and would certainly be a positive move for the MorphOS.

  3. The Amiga A1000 was the greatest PC of it's time by hillct · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The Amiga A1000 was perhaps the most advanced piece of personal computing hardware of it's time. It ushered in the age of computer generated effects for television in the '80s as well as provided extraordinary graphical capabilities unmatched by any personal computer until the early 1990s. It was a horrible failure of the marketplace that this hardware platform did not find a sufficiently large customer base and it's wonderful to see that some groups seek to prolong the usefulness of this platform, regardless of the financial benefit. Consider it a service to the memory of evolutionary hallmarks of the computer industry.

    commercial In its early stages it was notheing more than intuition ported to PPC native and intended to be used with Phase5 PPC accelerator cards. Its much more now, its its own OS pretty much, now pairing up with the b-plan boards which will be distrubuted by thendic under the pegasos name plate. Looks to be a nice lil single user workstation OS
