Hyperion had MorphOS running on the Pegasos2 *a long time ago*, and so did others, but by using a different method. Anyway, it doesn't matter now.
I think that AmigaOS 4 should be written instead of MorphOS for this phrase to make any sense right?
The very sad thing after all is that I spent almost 850 euros to build a Samantha just to see that "mighty and superior" 4.1, only to discover two months later that the mentioned OS would run fine and would have official support on my favorite hardware which is Peg2. You know this was the first thing I thought: "they had it ready a long time ago but waited the right time to deliver", I doubt that they built 4.1 from the scratch just for Peg during the last months.
Hacked OS 4.0 versions back on the days of silence? Yes ok this could be real and would be great to know how, just for the record. But on the other hand I still can not follow how this remained so "silent". Back in that MacMini Os 4 hacked verison days, there was a massive storm of posts everywhere started from a single post that characterized as "rumor" / "hoax or what?" etc? Maybe this was a part of the plan as well... I do not know?
On the other hand hacked version of 4.0 in Peg2 would bring the sales lower when the official thing would be released, another reason for silence back then.
Sorry to point that but to my eyes is all about money, except MorphOS that still carries an original underground Amiga spirit.
