    Please feel free to flame me if this has already been asked or is known...

    Does anyone know if the upcoming release of MorphOS for Mac Mini will also include support for other PowerPC G4 macs?

    There were those grey Tower Macs G4 (older ones) and also PowerBooks with G4 processors...

    Just curious. And yes, as I said you can flame me :)
    A4000/060/PPC-200MHz, A4000T/060/PPC-233MHz, CD32, MicroA1, Pegasos 2 G4, AMD Phenom Quad Core 2.5GHz, MacMini 1.5GHz/64MB VRam...mwwmwahhh :)

    On the morphos ML someone by the team repeated again: Currently there is only support for the Mac Mini on schedule.
    There may/will be another 2.x update b4 Mini support is due, but then it will support all G4 Minis.

    Powerbooks are experimental and non confirmed yet, but the one used for the demonstration in the video was a 1.67 GHz Pb.
    But as Frank Mariak somewhere else stated: Don't hold your breath for a release, you may asphyxiate (dunno if asphyxiate is the right ranslation in that conetxt for German: "ersticken").

    How much are all Aplle G4's actually differing from each other ? How much work would it take to port to something else as the Mini's once that port is stable ? some drivers, lots of drivers, .. ?
