Hey, does OS4 have PPC TCP/IP stack now? ;)
If it does it is probably in beta stage :)

Anyway, Pegasos I is sold out and I recall they are not making those anymore. They have some units left for special cases tho. So if you want Pegasos you have to wait for Pegasos II now.

OTOH A1 is available but without OS4. So if you want OS4 you have to wait. Quite interesting situation.

Maybe because there was no market? AFAIK they sold quite many PPC boards for some years but then sales went down. Because there are no new Amigans you cant sell HW forever...

They went bankrupt on the Mac side of their business. Two accelerators for the Mac took a long time to be cleared by Apple.
Considerable time and money went into those products and when no money was made, it was over.


Not really true. PPC boards for Amiga werent selling well enough anymore.

This is nitpicking but... no new Amigans?
Then what do you call me? You can more or less see the time i've been in to Amiga(s) by the time I joined Amiga.org.


Well, right, there are always new Amigans :) But for last years Amiga has been like dying village in Lappland. More villagers moving out than moving in. When there arent enough villagers supermarket closes its doors and even more vilalgers are moving out... Sad but true :-(

But this years looks much better :-D
