    I tried quiet some software from the AmigaOS 1.x days myself and was surprised that a fair ammount does actually work, though often with some glitches.
    But for theisvery old stuff UAE (Amiga emulator) is probably better suited than MorphOS itself. An UAE version for MorphOS is available, too.
    For AMOS I guess UAE is also the better target, I guess it rides the Amiga custom chips directly which - apparently - are not present in a Mac mini.

    Best resource for old software is still the Aminet (for new software it is of course also a great source).

    Getting floppies to a non floppy system - there are a few ways, if the disks are not filled with individually created or modified data, google may help you to find the content of the disk copied to an .adf file already. If you really need the actual data from a particular floppy I guess you need either someone with an old Amiga doing the copy job for you (given he/she has some "modern gear" like a CDR or DVD-R drive or network card or an usb card or at leat a pcmcia/sd card adaptor). There's also some software for pcs to read Amiga floppies. http://www.amigaforever.com/kb/13-118 may help in this regard.

    Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
