Sorry Rose but your talking BS:

>Included with the motherboard will be a copy of Yellow Dog Linux.

Can't see the "only" here, and as this is a LinuxPPC-site it makes
absolute sense to not mention MorphOS.

On Thendics site you will find:

>Pegasos comes with Yellow Dog Linux and MorphOS.

@Coder
MorphOS will be available after they finished the remaining
parts that may have a fuzzy legal status.

So now the 2 systems are somewhat on equal grounds:

Initally shiped with Linux and the main OS in the waiting
line for unknown time.

But don't forget that Neko isn't an official bPlan/MorphOS PR-man,
His comments may not reflect bPlans plan, and that it's not
certain that he has full insight into the status of the problematic
parts of MorphOS.

@red
a) A developer board would have included the latest MOS-beta.
b) All existing dev-boards are sold and the final boards are
still in production/testing.
c)My info says 2nd week, and a Saturday doesn't make sense
especially when you remember that today is a holiday in
Germany.

Hyperion can't be ignored after the final release because
there won't be any new dev-boards. Ben can order a Pegasos
at Vesalia just like everybody else.

Damn Red was faster  :-x

But as I said Neko is not the PR-man of bPlan and probraly
only knows what he has to know, just like the folks working
on the add-ons for that other OS don't know every detail
about ExecSG.

This is more confusing than an Amiga Inc announcement


Now those are really hard to beat !
And now I add a certain rumour to it and I'm totally of track.

The moment OS4 is released, MorphOS will be no more worth to me than UAE or the A500 buried in my closet, as I'm interested in running new, modern Amiga software.


Currently there is more exclusive MorphOS-SW in the making then forOS4,
and no MorphOS is NOT an Amiga-emulator !!

It just includes a PPC-native reimplementation of the AOS-API and a 68k-Emu.
It has it's own kernel and it's own API (Q-BOX limited but exclusive).

@Argo
Right!! (atleast one here understands the difference)

A M/Box is absolutly possible but..... (that had to come didn't it  :-x )

It took 1-2 years to recreate the relativly simple AOS-API even with
some help of the AROS-crew, how long to you think would it take
to recreate a beast like MacOS (even without OSX) ?

The only way to do this is either by something like iFusion or by
a port of Darwin, but this would need an MacOS-CD and bring MOS
right to the point where the A/BOX stand in November.

You know what came afterwards....
