>does not even need to be visible, as the Peg has an
internal USB port.
And most cases have a frontside usb, which makes
it possible to also use this protection against
unauthorized use (children etc)
Its not a bug (in its true sense), its a feature :-D

>Yes, but somebody still has to pay for the
development of AOS4 on Pegasos, Macintosh,
and/or .
There are not many other platform which could be
inserted there and the Pegasos is (without doubt)
the most interesting one, since many experienced
Amigans already chose this platform as their new
base and theres a growing interest.
>neither Amiga Inc. nor Hyperion have that kind of
capital. Nor do either have the resources to support
Pegasos owners using a retail AOS4 package
Thanks to the HAL of AOS4 this is neither a time nor
much money consumpting task i guess and the
package remains very much the same. Since
Hyperion develops the OS to the AOne anyways, its
easy to do a Pegasos version which will bring in
additional money and especially developers who
already chose or have a keen interest in the Pegasos
and dont have the intention to buy another (even
more expensive) Platform just for supporting OS 4
too.
>So, what do you think the likely hood is that Amiga
Inc (and/or Eyetech/Hyperion) would allow Hyperion
(err... themselves) to bring AOS4 to the Pegasos?
Amiga Inc. (and Eyetech) have no chance to do
anything by themself in the so-called Classic
market.
The future of this platform depends on Hyperion
alone and i dont think that anyone thinks that the
remaining 3 employees of Amiga break with
Hyperion, when they would emerge the need
of a Pegasos version.
Hyperion big announced OS 4 for "any suitable
hardware" in April 2002 and just some days later (!)
Amiga introduced the license scheme which even
got updated twice. And suddently it was very good
and clever as it is now (with shifting arguments from
that date on).
As for the disclaimer: I respect this but have to say
that i´m not single sided too. I am a MorphOS
supporter thats for sure but first of all i´m an
Amigan, who wants every development in this tiny
market be it free or comercial, hardware or software,
´classic´ or future to suceed. There are just a lot of
things going on for more than a year now, which
could leed to a catasthropical result in the end,
which need to be avoided. And at least the "splitting
the market and hope for the best"-mentality can be
easily avoided just by realising the situation and
finally jump own imaginary fences to find an
agreement which is equally good for both and the
whole community.
It would be possible i´m sure..
