Amiga 4000T w/PPC card, Amiga 3000 w/PPC card, Amiga 1200 w/PPC card are able to run both AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS 1.4.5. Which I think is really cool. No other PPC hardware can run both of these OSes.
This is because MorphOS supports the hardware listed above plus Efika & PegasosPPC. And AmigaOS supports only that listed above. AROS should also work too but only through Linux.

Having one of the systems above would allow someone to run natively AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS ( through Linux ), and Linux OS. And maybe even MacOS through emulation?
It is unfortunate, though understandable, that AmigaOS, MorphOS & MacOS are tied to specific hardware instead of working on generic PPC systems.
