Pegasos I

[ZXoney]

Hi everyone,

 I just got a Pegasos I off ebay and can't seem to get it to boot up MorphOS, I have cleared the setting to default, using a sony CD/RW and a IBM travelstar 5120mb notebook hd with 512mb of ECC memory, G3@600Mhz. The Graphics cards I have tried are not on the list but work in text mode atlest. Here is what it does.

Once the system comes up I get:
----------
Welcome to SmartFirmware(tm) for bplan Pegasos version 0.1b114 (20030317114750)
SmartFirmware(tm) Copyright 1996-2001 by CodeGen, Inc.

Pegasos BIOS Extensions Copyright 2001-2002 by bplan GmbH.

ok
----------

at this point I type:

---------

ok boot /pci/ide/cd bootpeg1.img

---------

It then list what apears to be the boot sector of the cd and under that it says:

ISO-9660 filesystem: System-ID: "MORPHOS" Volume-ID: "MorphOSBoot"
Root dir:" " flags=0x2 extent=0x1C size=0xF02
Quark/OpenFirmware

after a little cd activity it just sits there with the cursur flashing? Is this because of the Graphics cards or could it be something else? Any help?

ps
 I have a 3Dfx VooDoo3 3500 on its way..

Thanks, I was starting to get a little worried;)

I got it for $149.00 with 512mb ram! Not a bad deal if i get it up and running!!

Thanks again!

I found the 3Dfx 3500 on ebay aswell, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=013&item=230005458653&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1
only $10 bucks plus $5 shipping so I got a good Video card with tv tunner for $15 bucks!
 I also got my links and passwords from MorphOs support today, so now I can get updates! I would really like to see Nvidia support for the Pegasos I and II! I've never liked ATI at all! I have always had problems with those cards!! I've had a PCI tv tunner, All in wonder, and a 9800pro, and my last ATI card was the X800, I had problems with all of them! I now have a Nvidia PNY Verto 6800GT w/256 meg AGP x16, this card is awesome, Before that I had a Gforce 5950Ultra 256meg AGP card from Nvidia also very nice! Next will be two 7800 SLI PCI-Express. But even a 5500 would be awesome on a Pegasos!

Maybe I should dust off my old Hacking Skills and code some Nvidia drivers myself!
