Hey,

I have in fact not yet started to use and nor am I using MorphOS, yet I said - I might start with it, I just need to clear out one thing.

In a machine running MorphOS, all the inner hardware is built only for MorphOS which means that there is nothing that needs extra drivers in order to work? I.e a wireless card, if it's built in the machine with MorphOS running on it, it will work without any fuzz with adding/installing drivers and such?

Thanks!

As far as I know, the motherboards that runs MorphOS can also run Linux, not Windoze. There is not a build-in wireless card, unless you buy one PCI card for you and install to MorphOS. But you need software for that. So you must try Prism2 device here.

Just read carefully which PCI cards are working with MorphOS till now.

Another issue, you can have everything PATA HD you want, everything CD-ROM or DVD-ROM installed on your system works (as far as I know). For GFX cards go here.

For memory modules any DDR RAM module works, but avoid TwinMOS ones.

I think it's time to buy and see MorphOS for yourself.

Thank you very much Phantom.

I just got to get around starting to save up some money for a MorphOS system. But, where can a MorphOS computer be bought?

That Prism2 device looked interesting. Can you mention, or do you know some well known wireless cards that will work with Prism2?

This is just a silly rumour started by AmiDelf/AmiX, there is nothing wrong with TwinMOS memory modules, I myself and several others have used them for years without any issues...

Currently there are three official solutions to run MorphOS:

- Classic Amiga with PPC board
- Pegasos 1
- Pegasos 2

But none of them are built anymore, so you can only get them second-hand, look at Ebay.

MorphOS 1.5+ will support additionally at least the Efika, but noone knows when this MorphOS version will be released, and the Efika is a) not built anymore, too, but can still be purchased, and b) too limited to be a useful desktop computer.

The only solution for having a new MorphOS computer could be the announced Efika 2 which should be buyable in the not-so-far future and offers quite a lot of improvements over the first Efika so it could be considered to be a desktop computer, but it still lacks MorphOS support.

I had a serious problem with a TwinMOS memory module, so I think it's not as a silly rumour as it seems. I returned it back and bought a Kingston one and MorphOS is ok.
