One more time it's me to blame: it happens that I mistyped something being busy with the Xoops stuff. I referred to the image as jpg, but it's a png. Hope it works now, and sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the very informative posts redromlua.  

Just one quick question to readers of this thread.  If (i.e. it's hypothetical) OS4 was a competent effort and made available on Pegasos / Pegasos II at a fair price, would you buy it? Personally, I think OS4 on the Pegasos would be a win-win situation for everyone involved.  And if (again, that 'if' is important) Pegasos users are willing to buy OS4, maybe Hyperion can be coaxed in writing a version for it.  

Hyperion would sell more copies, developers would have a larger base, Pegasos owners would have more choice, clashes in the community would be mitigated and Genesis could concentrate more on hardware.

Finally, a more technical question.  Would the Peg run happily in a MicroATX case with a 150W PSU.  I have an old PC with a Voodoo3 3000 Card, 128Mb Samsung DIMM and 12Gb IBM Hard Disk.  It seems ideal to be turned in a Pegasos computer (currently uses an ALI Aladdin board with a Cyrix 550MHz CPU).

Thanks ppl

I for one would definitely buy OS4 sooner or later. It's not just about the OS (which I can compare to MOS then, and use the better) but about having new Hyperion game titles for my Pegasos as well as I have almost all of their older titles.

Hope a dual boot will be possibble (in case OS4 will be available for Pegasos one day of course)

EDIT

Have I mentioned that the farthest texture of the desktop background below started it's carrier as an OS4 backdrop? :-) Well, it was a few months back though, I didn't have my pegasos back then.

Multiple boot options for OS4, MacOnLinux and maybe MorphOS would definitly the best option.  Is a program similar to Partition Magic available for the Peg?

I would certainly buy it to run alongside
MOS (hypothetically).
