what is MorphOS?

[daddyjeff]

the famous producer of electronic music legowelt, uses his old AMIGA commodore 1200 computer with the octaMED sequencer, he knows how powerful  it is.

now with morphOS this program can work very well on a mac powerpc

Keep in mind most of the old apps have been around before standards like ahi and cybergraphx have been used. These apps will bang the Amiga chips and that will result in a crash. So there is a limitation and that's where e-uae comes into play.

Quick demo of Digibooster 3 and SoundFX. I actually met the guy who wrote SoundFX a few years back.
There was no real reason to show any midi functions since MorphOS is lacking a decent driver for it.
I hope in the near future that gets resolved and Morphos can take advantage of the Audigy Soundcard and maybe become
a nice Recording setup.

i dont think octamed will work on morphos
at least im pretty sure i saw a post saying that it doesnt
but that was absolutely the type of things i was thinking about when i created this thread/topic to inquire as to whether or not that was possible
to run Amiga MIDI Apps..

Anybody here that got MacOS9 and Morphos on one Harddisk working in Dualboot?

[IIO]

probably not, but feel free to try and report.

in theory it should work just as with OSX

but note the known bootmanager issue with OSX/OS9 dual boot minis and how to solve it, i guess it will be the same with morphos and the hacked OS9.

did not work with os9 and morphos. osx and morphos is not a problem

[teroyk]

There might be one reason to test MorphOS with dualbooting with Mac OS 9.
This assembler tool for PPC-programmers would be nice:

sadly file PPC68k20.lha missing from archive.org.

And it seems that MorphOS-programmers know something about boot with Powermac G5 that we don't know with Mac OS 9.

[drzeissler]

Made another approach to install morphos side by side on macos9.
It does not work at all. I can't generate a partition and beside that after using the partition-manager from morphos my os9 is unstable and freezes after a short time. I will have to make a free os9 install

[IIO]

replace the DVD drive with a second SSD?

[drzeissler]

possible, but I need the dvd-drive.

[drzeissler]

Is it possible to use two drives on the ide-port?
Perhaps I can take off the 3,5HDD and put two SSD's or CF-Cards via adapter in it?
If the IDE Port can not use two drives the other thing could be a fusion drive HDD with SSD and use them a two individual drives?

[IIO]

i dont think the controller supports two devices (but i like the idea), isnt the optical drive using the same bus already?

and a fusion drive is not two drives.

not sure about morphOS, but OS9 will boot from firewire.

[drzeissler]

OS9 from FW would be nice...I'll try

[chrisNova777]

did anyone from macos9lives test drive this OS
i was just reading about something called Maestix Reloaded?
https://aminet.net/package/driver/audio/MaestrixReloaded

New features in version 2 release of The Maestrix: Reloaded

* Reloaded on PowerPC with PowerPC native versions for AmigaOS4 and MorphOS.
* Includes OctaMEDIC. Coming to the rescue for MorphOS. It will heal OctaMED.
* Support for extended data mono audio streams.
* Fixed rare bug that left library in memory on fail.
* New multi platform installer.
* A new icon!

im not even sure what any of this stuff is only i read that it could be used to get octamed tracker running properly on morphOS?
(as well as run any other amiga software on macintosh cpu??)

did anyone from macos9lives test drive this OS

Hey Chris, this was high on the bucket list in 2018 and 2019, but fate had other plans, between my health issues at the time and closing down the retail repair store... yada yada yada... the G5s when to the scrapper without me getting a chance to load MorpgOS

It looks so cool that I did want to Power it up and mess with it, instead last year I got heavy into Linux Mint for a while and I must admit, I had way more fun with it than the old days of Redhat or Ubuntu (even though mint is kinda based on it).

Un-burried a QS and MMDs out of  garage last weekend, going to power them up and do 1 final testing round and try to image the 50+ CDs/DVDs that never made it here.  I have to see if Mactron has the time or energy to reverse engineer some of the last DAW stuff.

[chrisNova777]

might have to give it a go to test it out.. im total amiga noob, i have a few amiga500s i picked up, but im still just getting my feet wet
i dunno how it emulates the paula chip.. no clue about any of this so if anyone has any words to share on the subject im all ears

its hard to find amiga nerds to quizz about this stuff
