christophe Decanini noticed there's
an interview (in French
and (English)
with Ralph Schmidt of MorphOs fame on on AmigaImpact.
He also provided a summary (read more below).
- Limited (68k) support of mediator if no use of MMU tricks.
- Support of G-REX hardware (G-REX software is done by MorphOS team).
- Eyetech products support will be decided once available.
- Elbox did not contact Morphos team and MorphOS team do not think a lot of PPC owner will adopt mediator.
- MorphOS team members are part of Bplan, MorphOS will run on Bplan hardware. There will be an announcement early december.
- Morphos need to be working stable on CyberstormPPC and Blizzard PPC to be sell as a commercial product then MorphOS will be hardware independent to run on new bplan hardware. Perhaps it will also run on Macintosh. No X86 port expected.
- Recompiling a warpup application is the only way to run it on MorphOS.
- Name of developers for MorphOS application will be anounced in december.
- Not decided yet on how MorphOS will be sell. OEM, from Vapor online web or from other distributors.
- MorphOS team could adopt the type of developpers structure Vapor is using today.
- A third beta version of MorphOS should be out in next weeks with PPC version of MUI, YAM, CED, MagicMenu, AmiTCP, ADE. All PPC users should try it and give feedbacks to enhance MorphOS.
I did not verify every point of this summary, please visit the original in case of any doubts.

Ralph Schmidt interview : Comment 14 of 57 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 27-Nov-2000 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 12 (Ralph Schmidt): give me a good reason why I should give you money for MorphOS?
how will it benefit me and my ppc card?
You saying your emulation is better than the $300 I spent on my 060 cpu?
I tried morphos beta, it was slow with 68k apps, about 2x and it didnt work with picasso96, gfx was screwed....
ok give me a good reason to purchase your software...
But you would probably say "to take full advantage of MorphOS", you would have to purchase it, than purchase CyberGFX5 to take advantage of MorphOS, than purchase another add on, than purchase all the other redeveloped software for it, the list goes on.... I'll be paying 2x for everything again. When I paid for CyberstormPPC I got ppc.library which I assume was included in the price. Now I have to pay again and again and again... this is worse than servicing a vehicle at the mechanic, every 5,000miles thats another $100 thanks... its the same with your software, nothing but a circle of trapping people....
atleast warpOS is free |
