If you’re like me, you probably have some spare Mac hardware like this floating around somewhere (in my case, I just decommissioned a Mac mini G4 that ran as a backup server for almost a decade). model PowerMac G4 may also work on older PowerMac G4 models, and might also support other desktop Macs (iMac, eMac), but refuse to install on portable Mac models. Apple PowerMac G5 (only a couple models are supported, and MorphOS will only use up to 1GB of RAM, no matter what).Apple PowerMac G4 (nVidia GeForce2 MX and nVidia GeForce4 MX/Titanium cards are not supported, audio supported only with certain models).

Apple PowerMac Cube (bundled USB audio hardware not supported).Apple PowerBook G4 (models with a Radeon graphics only).Apple eMac (1.25GHz and 1.42GHz models only).While some of the more popular Linux distros. In the past, I’d messed around with i686 systems. Dealing with low-end hardware shows us how experiences might be improved on modern systems, and, in any case, tinkering around has always been fun. Here’s a list of compatible machines, which I scraped from the official MorphOS Hardware Compatibility Page. I’ve long been interested in practical low-end computing. Fortunately, MorphOS runs on a nice variety of Apple-brand machines from the early 2000s.

Step 1: Check hardware compatibilityīefore any Amigalike magic begins, you need to make sure MorphOS 3.5 will work on your system. So here, without further ado, is how you can join the “Amigalike” renaissance-or just play around with a different OS for a few hours.
