Re: Updated MorphOS for PowerUP Users
Does this mean that those of us without PCI expansion
boards can now use MorphOS with compatible video card?

Re: Updated MorphOS for PowerUP Users
even BVision and CVPPC were supported since the beginning (out the 3D native support).
Now even PIV, CV64/3D are supported (68K drivers)

Re: Updated MorphOS for PowerUP Users
Good news, although i'm not exactly thrilled with it.
MorphOS has been, for me, as fast as Workbench is, running on a humble 68040/25 and in some cases even slower (the menu system, just to name one).
Also, 68k apps tend to crash quite often.
So, AOS is still the number one choise for me. I run MorphOS mainly when i want to run something that doen't exist for AOS.

Re: Updated MorphOS for PowerUP Users
Havent tried MorphOS on a classic with PPC card but can only guess its a lot slower then on a Pegasos! but what did you really expect? those PPC cards aint that fast! if you want the REAL MorphOS experience get a Pegasos.

It is??
If i'm not mistaken you have a BVision like myself. I haven't install the latest version because according to the changelog there are no optimizations and the changes that has been made are not important to my system.
Edit: I think you are referring to the "missing fonts" bug that the first version had and made Ambient really slow. If it's true, then i have fixed it already.

Re: Updated MorphOS for PowerUP Users
ok i gave it a second go but still they need to optimize the morph os to run better on the pup acc boards. I know it aint as fast as the pegasos hehe but then again thats not the point. I have tested the amiga os4 beta on both classic and the a1 and i have to say the morph os feels far slower at all aspects when it comes to the classics. I know the morph os Pup version is free and thus not as optimized or reworked as the full version for pegasos. oh and btw my setup is bppc 240\060 with 128mb ram and the bvison and it dont fell that fast when i jump into morph os, but i think i will do a reg and donate or something since it is clear the os need to be optimized further.
cheers adonay

Re: Updated MorphOS for PowerUP Users
the problem is still . . . forget to see MOS-PuP "fly" on BlizzPPC, period. Not enough juice.
About the AOS4-MOS on PowerUP comparision, we have to wait for AOS 4 for Classic and try to yourself.
Don't beleive at anyone experience . . . they "often" lies
EDIT- and just for clarify my opinions about MOS for PowerUP:
I've NEVER said to trow in the bin AmigaOS and use MOS instead (go figure!).
I'm only saying (since the beginning), try it, just for the sake of. (NOT the first releasse due the well known issues)
Reduce all you can (TTF fonts, antialias, heavy skin, alpha blending) and you will get an useable PPC OS (not as responsive as AmigaOS but enjoable)
I'm still using everyday on my CSPPC200Mhz with CVPPC and i'm "quite" happy.
YAM-MOS fly and even IBrowse under Trance, is fast as before.
If you have a PowerUP card and a spare little partition, try it, tweeks a little bit and enjoy, until . . .AOS4 will be gold

Re: Updated MorphOS for PowerUP Users
A BlizzardPPC/BlizzardVision isn't exactly "fast" so try to use other skins (use a simple one like the OS4 default one) and change your MUI settings (avoid using gradients everywhere). Do not activate thumbnail view of images.
