New G3-Based Platform Runs Mac OS X

Posted by timothy on from the doomed-dumb-or-doable dept.

Worried writes "Pegasos is a new platform based on G3/G4 CPUs and it runs MorphOS and various Linux distros so far. This very interesting review of the platform over at OSNews points out that Darwin can play a significant role attracting new buyers. Another --possibly significant-- point in the article is that Pegasos can run Mac OS X via the Mac-On-Linux runtime kit. This is the *first* non-Mac platform that can run OSX without even the need for an Apple BIOS!"

    I believe that running MacOS on anything but Apple-approved HW would be in violation of the MacOS Users License.

    I'm still waiting for a way to run OS X on an Athlon XP (or other x86) based system. We all know it can be done. I would like to try OSX but the cost of the hardware in addition to the software has been prohibitive. So until there is an x86 version I will have to wait for a cheap sys on EBay.
