Whatever happened to the promised support for PowerUp? While people are discussing the meaning of "promise" and "support" I want to ask what the final outcome of MorphOS for PowerUP machines is. web archive (20030602171643) of www.morphos.net/support.php3. Was it ever promised? Not? Versions? Support? When? The mention of CSPPC and BlizzPPC was there for more than 3 years before it vanished when morphos.de/morphos.net became ..uhm.. genesized. :)

According to their website, their intention was to do both, untill about a year ago.. perhaps, I really dont know, as everytime I ask noone is willing to say either way.

So what? I habe no needs to have my A1200's pants beaten off (it has been running linux for the last 7 years anyhow) and the CSPPC in my A3000 isnt exactly running warm, nor does it need fast DMA for the SCSI controller and the only PCI slot avaible is for the CVPPC.

Well, I already have a handfull of machines to watch those AGA demos on, that is not the issue here.

And I have plenty of machines to run Firefox (ew) or Galleon (uh-oh) on - if I for some reason would want that.

Right, so where can I get modern hardware to run MorphOS on? PearPC perhaps? :)
