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 31 of 57 | ANN.lu |
Posted by bbuilder on 27-Nov-2000 23:00 GMT | I think Ralph & Co should try to work with H&P, Eyetech and Amiga Inc (and why not even Elbox), so that there would not be so much incompatible products.
How are MorphOS people going to make sure that OS3.9 works with MorphOS?
How about OS4.0 (or is it even a competing product with MorphOS)?
How about porting MorphOS to VP?
(some time ago I was hoping that MorphOS is the solution what Amiga inteds to use for the Classic compatibility, apparently that is not the case...) :(
The main reason why I perhaps might buy MorphOS is because I like to support good efforts.
In perfect world I would be able to use MorphOS, though.
(I will not buy CSPPC+DCEbusboard, not sure about bplan device)
Hey people, do you think that CAIPIRINHA might make a comeback inside the bplan's box? ;)
(it might be a plan B now, when G800 is delayed...????)
