MorphOS: Support of other CPU-architecture planned
Three years ago the MorphOS-team for the first time thought about a change of the CPU-architecture. During the discussion about MorphOS on the X5000, the question was asked again on Morphzone.info, which answered Mark 'Bigfoot' Olsen :
"When MorphOS gets ported to AMD64, we will not be supporting Macs. AMD64 Macs have all the wrong hardware for that to make any sense. When such a time does come, expect us to support one desktop motherboard (with one family of CPUs and GPUs) and one laptop. We'll of course make sure it's hardware that's actually available one way or another."
Mark 'Bigfoot' Olsen also confirmed that on a long-term basis it is planned to support different processor architectures. The only reasonable options are ARM and AMD64. Which one then finally will be support still was not decided. Olsen pointed out to his statement from November 2014. There he explained all the problems occuring when changing the CPU.
