About Us
The MorphOS development team is a group of individuals with a diverse mix of personal backgrounds spread all over Europe, Africa and Antarctica. Its members range from seasoned developers of complex, yet robust low-level system software to the technically creative minds behind award-winning scene demos.
The project´s original goal was to create a new operating system which allowed to transparently run legacy applications originally written for Commodore's Ax00 range of computers on modern hardware. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that team members had previously produced the leading retargettable graphics driver system, the de-facto standard PowerPC software integration, the premiere USB driver system and the highly popular MUI graphical user interface development system, which has been used to create many hundreds of applications for Commodore´s computer platform.
