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.

In reply to Comment 23 (Roj):
Thanks for making my point.
Alot of what you state is true.
Nowdays computers are so fast that the best architecture is NOT
needed to "go damn fast". This elbox controversey is a moot
point. PCI video cards are dead. If you want the fastest
cards they are AGP now. soon they won't make video cards for
the pci. my 200mhz has pci only. year ago i decided to upgrade
the video card. only like 10-20% of cards were pci. i don't
think that elbox, picasso, amiga are going to drive development
of pci video cards. there are alot of sub 50$ sound cards through.
I want to "RIDE THE WAVE" and have something good.
Whats the point if there's somethine great if it costs
1.5-3x as much and few business people support it.
PeeCee's may indeed suck, but one doesn't need to agrue about
video-bus drivers for an antiquated stanard video card.
The power of many LOW profit magrin sales beings much
R&D investment.
I wish good luck to the morphOS team, because they may
have a change of heart and port to x86. I would buy that.
