I am new to MorphOS and wish to become a valuable MorphOS developer and supporter in the not too distant future (hint to the manager of developer relations for genesi). I purchased the EFIKA because it was available, and though I knew it's limitations regarding USB1.1 and no available PCI slots, I had hoped to be able to learn about MorphOS and begin programming for it. That is still my goal, but now I wonder if I will be able to accomplish much with the limited RAM I have.
Why not? 128MB is not much these days but GCC does not need megabytes of RAM.
It is perfectly possible to develop software with 128MB system. I have developed software using Peg1 with 128MB of RAM and with Amiga 1200 running MorphOS with 96MB of RAM. On those days MorphOS used less ram than MorphOS 2 now does and you have to watch out memory usage but still it is usable if you are not intending to port Firefox.
1 + 1 = 3 with very large values of 1
