Default MorphOS 2.7 actually supports eMac G4 1.42 GHz
User Ruud provided evidence that MorphOS 2.7 actually runs on the Apple eMac G4 1.42 GHz. Until yet only the 1.25 GHz version was confirmed to run MorphOS. The 1.42 GHz version doesn't supprt 3D yet (ATI 9600). Once 3D drivers for the 9600 will be there it will be pretty nice: not only isn't the 9600 too shabby, but the eMac 1.42 comes with 64 MB VRAM.
All in all it is good to know, since eMacs often can get picked up for real pocket money.

That is awesome! I really would like to see the iBook G4 supported. It is a nice little laptop. Any plans from MorphOS Team to support any PPC Apple laptops?

We demoed MorphOS running on Apple PPC laptops many times already. We're not looking into iBooks though, but for now just the last two revisions of PowerBooks.

Well djnick, the update has been out for more than a decade. It is called MorphOS. It will solve your problems and do everything you asks for in that thread, and a lot more!

MorphOS is Amiga done right!

Nice confirmation of something a lot of us suspected.
The only negative is the desktop space taken up by these systems and the possibility of the CRT failing on these relatively old computers.

Its relatively easy to make a kind of macmini with the emac and use another monitor.

Has anyone confirmed support for the 'education only' USB2.0 1GHz model?
It's the same as the 1.25GHz and 1.42GHz machines, just with a slower CPU and different BTO options.

I just couldn't bring myself to get anything with a CRT in it these days. I*hate them so much. Big, heavy, finicky things. That said, I remember keeping my last CRT going for a whole nother year with periodic well-placed punches to the top of the case. That trick wouldn't work on an LCD.

Well, dismount the device and put a tft to the vga connector. Or if crafting and tinkering isn't yours get a PowerMac or Mac mini. Still CRTs are good for video. But personally I also prefer a *good* tft (one with IPS or PVA panel) over a CRT.

kedawa : unfortunatly, MorphOS doesn't work on the 1GHz/USB version of the eMac.
