The only flaw was the Apple logo on the cases, but really, nothing that would stop them. The MorphOS team looked around and came up with a clever idea – why produce their own expensive hardware when there was plenty of hardware to be had for very little money?Īpple had moved on to Intel architecture by this time, and prices for PowerPC Macs started to drop.
What to do? It’s Their Party, Not Ours, but We’re Invited But after the Pegasos II sales stopped in late 2006, no new hardware was in sight. MorphOS was initially designed to run on Amiga clone hardware, such as the PowerPC G3 and G4-based Pegasos I and II or the Efika. The last Amiga, the 68040-based A4000T, was introduced in 1994 and discontinued in 1997.) However, the Amiga platform never migrated to PowerPC or any other architecture. ( Amiga computers, first launched in 1985, used the same Motorola 680×0 CPUs found in pre-PowerPC Macs. Back in the late 90s, when things looked dire for the remaining Amiga community, a committed team attempted to create a modern yet “Amiga-ish” operating system for PowerPC computers.
