    Modem and Bluetooth are not supported, and FireWire only by a 3rd party component. Everything else is supported.

    That's the case basically for all the MorphOS supported Apple hardware isn't it?

    Anyway, is there any chance in the near future that Bluetooth will be supported by MorphOS as this is basically modern technology that we need to be able to utilise on a day-to-day basis, don't we?

    We have USB but not isochronous access but is this in the works for release with MOS 3.10?

    A Bluetooth stack is definitely required, as I hate to have to only have Mac OSX installed mainly to be able to use my bluetooth keyboard which is really useful, but without Mac OSX I cannot 'pair' it into the hardware configuration, as there is no MorphOS Bluetooth stack, but once it's been 'paired' through Mac OSX the pairing remains operational each time I boot MorphOS from a warm or cold reboot. I would likely use my other Bluetooth enabled hardware more if MorphOS had a built-in Bluetooth stack.

    Helios - which I presume is what you mean by the firewire 3rd party component doesn't seem to have been worked on for ages, or is that something else that is currently in the 'pipeline'?

    I was referring to Helios indeed.

    Yes, it is.

    Google for bluetooth and licence and you´ll be surprised about the costs this support would cause.

    I'm fixing to meet up with a local Amiga user group called CTACS here in Austin Texas. Brought my G5 and my new to me G4 Powerbook. Installing MorphOS now. Looks like I'll need another reg key :-)
