I have a weak remembering that once there existed an demo version of MorphOS for PPC-equipped classic Amigas.

IIRC the speed was reduced to the speed of an A500 after two hours - not very funny nowadays!

It had been said once, that there would be a newer version of it once the final Pegasos version would be out.

How likely is a new version for PPC-equipped classic Amigas, now that the situation regarding the Pegasos version appears to be rather uncertain?

I would really love to give it a test on my classic PPC!

Thanks for the link.

But a few questions arose:
1) Is MorphOS 0.4 that version, that slows down to A500 speed after 2 hours usage?

2) I heard someone say it would not be possible to run the latest MorphOS-applications
on that old MorphOS version (v0.4?) for CyberstormPPC. Is that correct? If so, how do I know if a certain MorphOS-app runs on CSPPC/MorphOS v0.4 or if it requires an Pegasos with the latest version of MorphOS?

3) What's the difference between v0.4 developer and v0.4 user?

Sorry for my stupid newbie questions...

Yes, thats the very old and outdated MorphOS Demo.

Thats right. Simplest way is to check the readme of the program if there is a note about version or try to run the program.

Quote:

Developer as the name says contains developer sutff inside.

1) Yes, if you dont have a key.

2) Probably nothing works on 0.4 anymore. It can run old AmigaOS/PowerUp/WarpUp software and early PPC ports (i.e. MUIPPC, see filelinks).

3) They are functionally same.

It's still available for download, but it is a very old and quite unusable version AFAIK, so there is little point in bothering.

It's not like newer versions for classic Amigas doesn't exist, because they do. Some developers are running current versions on their Blizzards and csppc's. MorphOS has been running on classic Amigas since day one AFAIK. It has not been released to the public though.

Quote:

I think there are much bigger chances that there will be new public versions for the Pegasos than public versions for classic Amigas. It's not the Pegasos version that is uncertain, it's the general MorphOS situation as a whole. The Pegasos is a solid ground for MorphOS, it couldn't have a better home.

Quite understandable.

MorphOS is truly a great OS!

Edit: Welcome to this site, BTW!

yes, I got that 0.4 to run on my classic A4000
CSPPC & Cybervision 3D but the moment I executed
dosbox for MOS I got a long list of numbers
etc etc etc telling me it was a NO go sorry...

maybe I shall have better luck compiling under
OS4 in April

:D

@Dandy

Welcome to Morphzone!

I'd like to have MOS for my CS-PPC...

even if the hardware support is limited,etc... it would be nice to have a version even with 0 support. After all, we could give ourshelves support in Morphzone without disturbing developers. I guess a FAQ about installation and compatibility would appear etc...

Most of alive classic amigas in use have PPC... It would mean at least 1000 more MOS users, being pessimistic. And expanding the userbase would be very good for MOS...

I would say zero.

Leo and others: it is working. In a party, in a developer machine (A1200 PPC, BVision) i see the full MorphOS 1.4 working. IT IS REALITY. Believe me and stay tuned :). I never mention the developers name, dont ask.

Maybe it is this (old) news??


A #amigazeux member has made a video of MorphOS 1.5 running on a CyberstormPPC (and showing some yet unpublished #amigazeux software). He writes:


"I've recorded a small video of MOS1.5 in action on my CSPPC.


Please keep in mind I was using a digicam and holding it with my hand before you start flooding me with complaints "


Download: http://amigazeux.net/wearelost/MOS1.5_CSPPC.avi (18 MB, 320x240, AVI)

i did not check this out but i remembered and did a quick search...

@Donar

I'm 90% sure that this video was a fake.

SoundSquare : No, MorphOS 1.5 works on 1200 PPC. It's a reality. But, not for the simple being.

>Leo and others: it is working.

I never said it wasn't working.
The "zero chances" was for a public release of it.

(who cares except "gods" it's working or not if it's not released ?)

Leo.

all right then

if there's no chance that it could be released someday why bother talking about it ?
f***ing elitist stuff

if this video was just a tease (just like the OS4 on classic one) then why the hell do they do that ? just not my type of pr0n..


[ Edited by SoundSquare on 2005/3/15 0:54 ]

@SoundSquare: seems like they're ready to show information about stuff being developed when it comes to be an answer to OS4-team showing something (the MOS on BPPC/CPPC was put online right after someone from OS4 showed OS4 on Classic Amiga)...

And answering to OS4-team's progress appears to be more important than dealing with their own community.

Why ? I don't see any clever reasons for that...
And it seems it has always worked this way.
(If you find one please enlighten me :))

Leo.

[ Edited by Leo on 2005/3/16 2:01 ]

I hope that when OS4 is released for Classic they release MOS too...

@leo
The video you are refering to was put online by some external group of people.
Because of your blind hate for MorphOS programmers, you always slap the wrong guys... :-(

@Henes: prove me I'm wrong: answer to the user asking the question...

Leo.

PS: btw, I don't hate you (unlike you if I believe what I have been told) nor any MorphOS developer. What I hate is the global MorphOS developer's attitude towards "normal" users and developers.

I fully agree with that,...

[ironic]
It's so true !

innit

seems to me people arguing between user and
developer isn't a great general idea...

relax...

I have a classic PPC machine and I cdn't care
less if an OS4 version appears for it or not...

hell, I own 30 Amiga systems all up and I'm
not even rich by any stretch of the imagination

I'll get an A1 next month and then I'll be
running a version of OS4...

I'm just glad there is an option to use a
NG Amiga...

unlike most I never went any other platform
since going Amiga in 1986 (first cpu too)

so I've always used an Amiga and nothing ever
else... here with my A4000 desktop, along side
it the PPC A4000T and right next to that the
A1200...

cool to be elitest, purist and Amiga as a
lifestyle I say... of course for some of
you I'll add dellusional also... heh...

but seriously, just enjoy having something
different eh... good people!

:)
