OK, I did a bit of reading and found a few posts that talk about the processor being able to read big-endian data but other parts of the system will be little endian.

These are usually promptly followed by "but this doesn't matter to MorphOS".

If you're moving to a different system you're going to need new drivers for all the hardware anyway so this makes no difference.


Being a Mac user I did the true big-endian to true little-endian switch some years ago. It went without a hitch, to the end user the switch was completely invisible and I can still run PPC software to this day.
