    That is the answer I expected, but it would be a good counter move to do the minimum amount of work required to re-release the PowerUP version of MorphOS1.4 for free, or at a very low price of $10 to $20 with some screen shots and a FAQ about the differences between 1.4 and 2.7 included.

    It would give the people with PowerUP cards a chance to compare AmigaOS4.1 and MorphOS1.4 against each other, plus give them some info about MorphOS2.7 features. If it was free, or almost free, and the PowerUP users were getting their systems out and running again to have a look at AmigaOS4.1, they might well be inclined to have a look at MorphOS1.4 as well and then become interested in moving up to MorphOS2.7 on some better hardware.

    Just a thought that might bring us some new users without too much extra work for the Dev Team. Zero work (or very little) if they hand it off to others outside the Dev Team to prepare and setup for download here and/or at other MorphOS file depositories.

    If AmigaOS4.1 were cheaper, I would probably buy it for my A4000 PowerTower, but if it were free, or less than $20, it would be purchased and installed today, so the same would be true for MorphOS1.4 for many people and I think that could lead to at least another 40 to 80, or maybe many more new 2.7 registrations over the next year.

    Not a huge incentive, but if it could be done for little effort, I think it would be worth it.
