What's wrong with MorphOS 3.1?

Nothing.
OS 3.1 is there so people will ask you why you said OS 3.0.
:-D

A guy n craigslist.org wants $130 for a powerbook with a melted cpu. He added that it had a cracked case but the crack did not effect the operation of the laptop at all.
Say what????!!!!!
Yeah, it still doesn't work.

Rumours have it MorphOS reqires a CPU, hence I would avoid a Powerbook with melted CPU.
Honestly, have a little patience and check out the usual suspects like CL oder ebay. I think it's better to spend a few more bucks and get a flawless one - remember MorphOS has a per machine license. If the device breaks down you will have some trouble (albeit the team seems to issue new licenses rather easily), hence it's better to get a device that is unlikely to break.

Its always risky buying it online, because people will lie about what they are selling.

"worked great 5 years ago, when I last turned it on.. oh yeah, no pictures proving that it works. but im sure it's been quite safe here in my shed"

Hi,

I am literally about to sell my PB G4 5,8 1.67 that I have bought from eBay about a month ago. There is absolutely nothing wrong as far as I know, been running it solid since I have bought it. it's just that I wanted to play with MorphOS to bring back my old Amiga days, but I am neither an Apple fanboy or have the patience to learn either of the OS.

When I bought the laptop, the battery was dead, so a new battery was bought and it has only 2 cycles (maybe 3 now) charge on. The PB is probably as good as it can get as I was very picky about getting a good one. I have also bought a Netgear WG511T as I have read that this is one of the supported wifi card.

It comes with other bits and bobs, plus the original PB box.

I only want what I have paid for, unfortunately, it wasn't cheap to get a nice one on eBay, so asking price is £250 + courier (I live in UK) - paid £231 for PB, £15 for new battery & £6 for Netgear card, so asking price is slightly less than what I have paid.

I have also posted this on http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=33226 with photos if interested. I'll porbably end up putting it back on eBay if not sold.
