PPC Boards

[Ranchu]

OK I'm a bit confused. Hopefully someone could kindly answer a few questions for me

OS4 will run on AmigaOne boards (which are essentially rebaged Teron boards with a special ROM).

TerraSoft will sell these same boards but without the ROM meaning that they will only support PPC Linux.

MorphOS is running on the Pegasos ($1000 board!!!).

So far so good. Now my question:

Will MorphOS run on the Teron CX board as well?

Will MorphOS run on the Teron CX board as well?

They claim to have had it running on TeronCX developer board.

MorphOS is running on the Pegasos ($1000 board!!!).

Where did you get such info? I thought it costed more or less the same as A1?

I think he is refering to the BetaTester systems that cost a 1000 Euros

[Ranchu]

Yes it looks like I was confusing the beta tester system.

What is the price of the retail Pegasos?

[JurassicCamper]

For G3 600Mhz Models

Pegasos

£300 ish + VAT + Free Delivery With Linux & MorphOS

If OS4 ever becomes available you'll have to buy it.

A1

£360 ish + VAT + £11 Delivery With Linux, UAE Licenced Classic Rom images + Free OS4 when ready + Bios that works with all PCI Cards.

1) The Pegasos is not $1000. Its £300+VAT

2) MorphOS already runs on the Teron CX/PX provided the original Open Firmware ROM is used. According to bPlan with "close cooperation" with MAI.

This combination has not been demonstrated in public, but then again nothing other than Linux/PPC has ever been demonstrated on the Teron CX/PX (AmigaOne SE/XE).

Morph OS will run on the Pegasos.

Morph OS will run on the TeronCx.

Hmmm...but MorphOS will not run on the
rebadged TeronCx A-1, because A-Inc
donglized the hardware, and OS4 has
been donglized to run only on the
donglized A-1. It seems obvious...

But what will happen to AmigaOne manufacturers if and when the infamous cracking groups that killed the original Amigas (ie Razor, FairLight - still happily cracking all PC software right now) crack the dongle protection for OS4 and mass release their version to the underground warez scene?

Will that spell the end of AmigaOne? Or OS4 as well? Or will that mean all PPC boards can then run OS4? Hopefully waking up Amiga Inc from their corporate stupor.

Well as I see it, it should not be some thing that amiga inc should deal with.
This should be something that the individual should choose...
You can always choose to buy what ever you want instead of using a cracked version.
Choose not to support Piracy, choose to support the developers whom supports you..

A bit off the topic of this thread, but, crackers didn't kill the Amiga.

In fact, many people I knew back then got an Amiga over a Megadrive or SNES specifically because they knew they could get games for free, so in some ways crackers "made" the Amiga the success it was.

It was the lack of development on the hardware side, lack of new "big-name" software, and the eventual domination of the PC that killed the Amiga.

These were the symptoms but not the disease.  I remember in the old days how Commodore senior management basically sucked the company dry, didn't effectively advertise, eventually stopped internal developement, etc.  Mismanagement was the end of the Amiga in it's early form.

Yes the free SW helped the sales of the HW but in the long run killed the "big-name" software development thus killing the sales of the HW
as ppl got bored with not having new "big-name" software.
 
 
You can eat your own body parts to stay alive in the short term but will die through lack of needed body organs if you continue to do so.

This last bit is wrong.   The dongle on the A1 is for OS4.0 (so it won't run on other nonlicensed hardware),  MorphOS, linux and any other OS can be ported to the A1 easily.
