    I remember when I moved to a town in the South Wales valleys as a kid. There was a mentally impaired guy that always wore a Liverpool FC shirt, scarf and bobble hat. Some of the local kids had worked out that if they shouted Man United once, he'd go on a long rant about how shit Man United were.

    I kinda like the comparison of OS4 to Liverpool FC :)

    Yeah, you got me there. Honestly it's AmigaOS 4 with MorphOS skin I'm testing for over a year now :P




    Say, you didn't have to make outside-warranty alterations to the board or anything did you?

    Huh?


    You just noticed that one?
    Weird huh?
    Considering Wiktor has a system running it, I'm baffled.

    And as of last night, we can all buy one.

    So what would prevent it is completely beyond me.




    True, but at least it won't be beyond you forever.

    Caveat emptor, as they say.

    4th in the premier league may be up-playing OS4 a little but if that's how you see it, which operating systems do you feel equate to Man City, Tottenham and Arsenal?

    I find myself wondering how you managed to tell him apart from all the other Welshmen.

    Just say a little bird told me.


    Hmm... If there is truth to that statement then the MorphOS Team should issue a statement quickly, so people like Jim aren't suckered into buying an X5000 or Cyrus board early which will not see a MorphOS release.



    I don't think the responsibility rests with the MorphOS team to stop people buying hardware that, for one reason or another, won't support an official MorphOS release. It's up to people like Jim to wait until there is an official MorphOS release on it before buying one.

    $1500 is a lot of money to waste on a leap of faith, and "It won't run the OS I wanted" isn't a valid warranty claim, especially as the seller make absolutely no claims as to running it.

    So, people have figured out that there is no practical reason why MorphOS wouldn't run on X5000, it clearly does. There isn't a legal leg to stand on not running MorphOS on X5000, as even in 2016 you can still run anything you want on a computer. Or, wait, can you? I have a theory. Let's see how it pans out.

    Reason for editing: A 120+ word comment filled with personal insults towards another forum member is completely unacceptable. The F-word, which was later edited by the author himself, was nowhere near being as offending as any of the other content. (ASiegel)

    The "f-word" was never used.
    If Andre wants to pretend that it was, that's his concern (since the only time I have ever used that word in relation to this forum was in a direct PM to Andre himself).

    But as far as the other content, I stand by it.

    Clearly the poster has under the impression that he has secret information no one else has, and that would appear to be delusional.

    So, why doesn't he put up or shut up?

    Yes and no. Technically yes, but if things went sour and a hardware partner is either acting in bad faith or for some other reason will block support, it would behoove them to let their userbase know. The MOS team has been pretty open that the X5000/Cyrus is a target platform. If this has changed, don't drive sales to the competition.

    Please note that MorphOS was publicly demonstrated running on an A-Eon X5000 at the Amiga 30 event in Neuss, Germany. Where do you think the developers got the required development hardware from more than a year before retail deliveries finally started?

    I was there at Neuss, I can confirm that there was indeed a working beta of MorphOS running on a X5000 there. The developers there confirmed it as well.

    I took a picture of it and uploaded it to Wikimedia.

    Is this proof enough?

    Nobody is denying that MorphOS *runs* on the X5000. Whether or not it runs optimally or requires invalidation of warranty, is another matter. And if it does not, there will be no official release of MorphOS.

    The only thing I did to the motherboard was exchanging cpu fan as I have the oldest revision with quite crap and noisy fan, other than that - nothing. And please notice that this fan exchange wasn't required to get MorphOS running on my Cyrus+

    As for running optimally, I trust the development and optimization abilities of the MorphOS team. Regarding "invalidation of warranty", what do you mean here?

    > And if it does not, there will be no official release of MorphOS.

    Yes, quality standards of the MorphOS team are high, so optimal running will be pretty much prerequisite for release. But I don't see how there won't be an official MorphOS release if it doesn't require "invalidation of warranty" (whatever that should mean).

    How could you possibly have to void the warranty by in order to run MorphOS on the X5000?

    It's easy: Probably MorphOS will get released for the X5000 as it is announced, tested and demoed. But MorpOS team _always_ said: Don't buy dedicated hardware before MorphOS got really released for it. It's just to be on the safe side. Or if you buy now and a release gets delayd, canceled or will not work as expected: Don't complain then, you've been warned.
    I personally expect a working release in the not too distant future though. But warnings should always be considered.

    Didn't you have a ppc accelerator? Reflashing its firmware with an unsupported one would have invalidated its warranty.

    People keep accusing me of raking up the past but it's really the repeating cycles that rake up me.

    One side refusing to address showstopping minor changes or bugs, and the other side accusing them of doing it on purpose. Or, one side really doing it on purpose.

    Regarding MorphOS on X5000, I see nobody refusing to do anything and nobody accusing anybody of anything (except you, that is). Can you be more specific?
