BeOS Ready Systems
Looking for a PowerPC-based system that is BeOS capable? Or wondering if your current system can run the BeOS? Look no further, the following list contains all current models (that we are aware of) that are BeOS Ready. This information is updated at regular intervals to include new models and any status change on existing models. The BeOS is, of course, supported by all BeBox dual processor computers. For more information on these systems, see the BeBox product pages. For information on PIOS compatibility and release timeframes, see the Pios web site. Note: This is absolutely the most current information available on BeOS for PowerMac compatibility. We keep this list completely up-to-date with the latest BeOS compatibility status on every PowerMac model. If a Power Macintosh or compatible clone is not mentioned on this list, we have not yet tested it for compatibility. As soon as we do know if a machine is compatible, we'll add it to the list. Really.

* PowerPC 601 PCI-based design support is to be determined. At this time, however, Be has not committed to supporting these models. Support for PowerPC 601 Nubus-based designs will not be available. Be intends to support future PowerComputing models as they become available.
Apple Computer
* PowerPC 601 PCI-based design support is to be determined. At this time, however, Be has not committed to supporting these models. Support for PowerPC 601 Nubus-based designs will not be available. For more detailed information on this, please see the PowerMac Q & A section. ** The Performa 6360 motherboard is very similar to the Performa 6400, so the BeOS will run on 6360 models. It will not run on any other Performa 6300 Series computers due to significant differences in the other motherboards in that series. For more detailed information on this, please see the Q & A section. *** PowerBook design support has yet to be determined Each Apple model is based on a different hardware design. Be intends to support future Apple models in general, but support for each specific model will need to be determined at time of introduction of the new hardware. Be will support CHRP/PPCP designs when they are available.
Motorola
* PowerStack II designs support Windows NT, but not the MacOS. Be will support CHRP/PPCP designs when they are available.
SuperMac/UMAX
* Support for the C500 to be determined.
DayStar
* Supported when this card is used within another Be Ready system listed on this page
APS Technologies
* We believe we'll be able to support APS machines. however, we have not yet seen these designs and so BeOS support is conditional to date.
PowerTools
* We believe we'll be able to support PowerTools machines. however, we have not yet seen these designs and so BeOS support is conditional to date.
