Maybe some of you guys know recently there was a fairly huge (in the Amiga world) Amiga event in Germany (aka the capital of Amigaism in the world).

There where some groundbreaking news there such as X1000 news, MorphOS news and other stuff of coolnes from the world of Amiga that refuses to die.

Lets have 10 more years, lets celebrate with these images and videos if you missed this event!

Photos and videos (a bit slow server, varning, maybe he is running it on 68k Amiga system?)

Here is a video of the dual core Amiga X1000 system

MorphOS going for Powermac G4 PCI towers

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

 

 

Wow, incredible news.

Straight from the dev team of MorphOS, the OS of the morph aka MorphOS is soon running on old Apple “quicksilver” G4 towers. These run up to 1.8 GHz (or up to 2 GHz with special turbos), meaning, it could potentially be the fastest Amiga system in the world soon.

Already MorphOS runs on the Mac Mini, but G4 towers are so much cheaper second hand thand Mac Mini. As a matter of fact, I found a G4 “quicksilver” in a dumpster last week, I thought “hmm I should take it home if Morph-team releases MorphOS for it” but decided not to, argh!

Who is not salivating over the prospect of running the slickest and nicest looking AmigaOS-likeable AmigaOS system on the nicest designed computers, do not lie to me, I know you want one too :)

MorphOS 3.0 booting on Apple Powerbook G4 notebook

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

MorphOS is a very nice Amiga-like operating system that once upon a time could have become what is today known as AmigaOS.

Having actually tried a previous version of MorphOS I can say that it is an insanely fast, very, very slick improved Workbench on stereoids, just as with AmigaOS4.1 it has a compatibility layer with system friendly classic 68k applications and many ported applications known from the Amiga world.

MorphOS is constantly under development and lately the Amiga world got shocked by the incredible news of MorphOS running on the G4 Mac mini, judging by this thread at amiga.org initiated by Piru, world famous for creating short (as in very short) posts consisting of the word “no”, Powerbook G4 seems like the next step for MorphOS – the closest to a proper Amiga notebook the Amiga world will have.

But as usual in Amiga world, there is no definitive anwser, and no official roadmap when, where, how. But at least there is a video showing it off, maybe next year?

MorphOS Mac Mini install with lots of pictures and review

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Check out this (Google translated to English) review of MorphOS for Mac Mini. Lots of pictures so if you are on dial up just say no.

MorphOS install on Apple Mac Mini

The OS feels to SUPER FAST. PC not included the emotional performance of this system. A reboot is very fast. It takes the longest hardware initialization of the Mac Mini, about 10 seconds. To begin with MorphOS boot … is the desktop in about 5 seconds. The boot screen with the MorphOS logo is a oogblink disappeared.

I hope that made sense to you, Google translate ownz :)
