Why not? They use modified OpenFirmare, and G3/G4 processors, I think it'd be possible if one sudcceeded in writing chipset drivers. OS X should easily work natively on AmigaONE and Pegasos computers, just like the MorphOS (Pegasos native OS) works on MacMini G4.

It IS possible, but when you say amiga most think of older machines (think amiga 1000). However, considering I did not know amigas were EVER made with ppcs, I am willing to bet that that market is and was very small. So, it wouldnt be worth the time to make it work for the few willing to use an alternate OS illeagly on amiga(through violation of EULA).

In a time that was no hackintosh I seriously looked at the Pegasos machines since these looked to be the most open platform. For instance Linux PPC could also be installed on them. I have asked a company who sold them whether or not it could be done but they could not confirm that a native boot would be possible.

In responding to your question I did find this however. Using the search words pegasos osx http://www.pegasos.org/index.php?name=News...cle&sid=920

So this could be something although I wonder why one would like to use the Pegasos nowadays. The hardware is still available but it is a network computer (Efika) at $375.00 ? And why would you want to use a Freescale 400 mhz processor?
