Shot down? The Elbox Dragon was real and demonstrated in public in 2006 reaching 68030 level performance with OS3.

Possible maybe, but idiotic. Hyperion offer OS4.1 for PPC and OS3.1.4 for m68k. What would be the target group and point of OS3.1.4 additionally compiled for ColdFire?

What does "our best hardware" mean? 68060? 68080?

The MorphOS team might object to this wording ;-)

Slightly? For most hardware, MorphOS is 2.7 times as expensive as OS4.

Actually, it performs better than the X5000 in all areas except integer performance.
