    1. The Pegasos, which runs on either a G3 or G4 CPU. Check out www.pegasosppc.com to find the vendor closest to you.

    2. MorphOS comes with the Pegasos.

    3. Most AmigaOS (up to 3.9) applications run on it. There are also several projects working on MorphOS-native applications.

    3. There is the Superbundle and a number of MOS native programs are listed here.

    I will be accused of narcisism, self-advertising, megalomania, etc.. However it seems that, up to now, the ultimate truth about MorphOS and its compatibility with Amiga software can be found in my review, here:

    Hi DoctorMorbius_FP,

    1. All kinds of peripherals can be used with the Pegasos. Although I have to say that even then you have to watch out. Not every brand works! As example: my 40GB IBM Realstar harddrive did work with my previous Peg 1, but not with my current Peg 2. But, look on this site and you'll see what works and not :-). The proceesor part is already answered.
    2. If you buy a Pegasos you'll get MorphOS for free. Also you'll get access to the superbundle site and so on. There you can download updates. At the moment we are discussing here whether to pay for future updates or what else.
    3. There are already games specifically made for MorphOS, Knights and Merchants per example. More software are already being made.

    Bye,

    Spidey
