Hardwaremeeting

PowerDev #8 24.09.2010 - 26.09.2010 Location: Geit@Home

Here is a collection of images taken at the PowerDev #8 in september 2010 in our convention center.

PowerBook and PowerMac systems running MorphOS were shown. Even the old PowerMac with 400 Mhz and Rage128 graphics card makes a good impression of the usability. MorphOS simply is fast on any hardware. PowerMac support will be released with MorphOS 2.6. Exit

Of course we had a wide bandwith of hardware running. Pegasos1, Pegasos2, Efika, yA1, AmigaOne, A2000 and several MacMinis were used during the meeting.

Beside hardware there also was the software. A sneak preview of the new Ambient panel system was shown which has some quite unique features. These new panels will replace the old once in later Ambient versions.

Also a sneak preview of MagicAction was shown. Its a MorphOS adapted version of the well known Automator.

The new MorphOS scanner application and driver system Scandal was demoed to the audience by using an Epson scanner. Its a quite nice peace of software and even the transparency unit worked.

We had alot of fun and interesting topics to discuss during the entire meeting. And it was nice to see several new software products getting ready for being released.

A small museum with old hardware was shown at the entrance. There was even a Busch 2090 4 Bit computer (CPU: TMS 1600) with 768 byte of system memory, which worked the whole 72 hours without a crash. Not bad for a 27 year old computer system!

Another highlight was MorphOS playing 3D movies on the Pegasos2 system using a 3D display and proper glasses. Exit
