    After which someone would start calling for a MorphOS port. ;)


    AFAIK it's kind of a "been there, tried that" situation. Well, not from a MorphOS perspective, but at least HW wise (at least from a Genesi perspective) the Efika 5200 was a means to an end, not an end by itself; the end would have been the Lime stuff that you will find several references of this at this site (and powerdeveloper.org) if you do some searching. And there was some kind of MorphOS proposal in this context. I should have a copy of the document somewhere. How sanctioned it was, I can not tell. It doesn't matter.

    But more importantly, this was a long time ago. The lime was low-end even back then, and is it even alive now?

    Why would anyone suggest a MorphOS port to this poor (and allegedly low quality) HW when there are several generations of both iBook G4 and PowerBook G4 available already?

    :-?

    Some got burned I think, and the others smell the smell even today?
