Pegasos to go on sale Monday / Pegasos II to ship September 2003

[downix]

To Whom it May Concern:
The Pegasos will go on sale Monday.
There are 300 to sell and 100 that will go to MorphOS Developers and Employees.
If interested to purchase a Pegasos mainboard or fully configured machine:

1. Contact your Distributor

2. Contact Phoenix

3. Contact Genesi

When these are sold there will not be another release until August/September 2003. The next release, the Pegasos II, will have double data rates, three 1 Gb/s ethernet channels, and Dual G4s. Genesi will not release a new version until then.

We want everyone to understand this before they purchase the Pegasos available now. All Betatester boards will be exchanged with the first priority.
An upgrade credit will be offered to Pegasos I buyers. The Pegasos I will not have a G4 upgrade.
Thank you and best regards,

Genesi

Note: Please contact Genesi directly to get your replacement board with April chipset (if you haven't done so far). Thank you.

IIRC, there are someone that has payed for a pegasos G4 upgrade,and that cannot be very Amazing...

@Ami603

Yep, but thats the dealer fault, Genesi never acceoted ANY
pre-payments !!

Ok ... it wasn't that good news for Genesi as I thought fist time I read it ... so there will only be totally 400boards + those already by the Betatesters, until August/September :-? Sorry but I don't see that as a good sign for Genesi :-( But I might be wrong ;-)

Good luck :pint:

@bbrv

When do you give the people info about Pegasos II?

[ksk]

Ami603:  I agree.  re: " 600 MHz PowerPC G3 750 CXe upto Dual PowerPC G4 MPC 7450  " on pegasosppc.com, on vesalia, on KDH ...  May I now say "false marketing"?

A lot of talk down the toilet, anyway.

(But for the fanatics that most likely will be pure good news anyway...)

((when they finally clear the disinformation from their web site, I hope this is also removed: "OS : once the computer starts it can run Linux or the Amiga OS on top of the kernel. "))

Besides the specs that are known already from this
PR, more info will be given on Monday.

Not that I'd call myself a fanatic, but although I'm having rather mixed feelings about this, I think we do anyway have to give Genesi credit to be fair enough to tell this everyone in advance - instead of continueing to produce and sell Pegasos-Ones until the Pegasos-II is on sale.

How can anyone put a positive spin on this?!? :-?

Pegasos boards won't be available to any customers until September and this is supposed to be a good thing?

Genesi just cut its own throat.

 300 Boards will be sold starting on Monday.

300 Boards will be sold starting on Monday.

So you can sit at about 600 users for the next seven months?

You had an advantage over OS4. You just squandered it. And for what?

Btw...so much for the CPU slot.

[hnl_dk]

ok, I didn't read the "last" line

The Pegasos I will not have a G4 upgrade.

I almost feel sorry for those poor bastards ;-)

Now who is going to laugh at whom?

We the AmigaOS 4.x fanatics (them who has the money) might get dual G4 in some weeks ... The MorphOS fanatics might be lucky to get single G4 in some month :lol:

Sorry that I laughed, and mentioned AmigaOS in your thread ... but I had to ;-)

But still I look forward to see what Genesi wants to make out of their comming Pegasos II :-)

[ksk]

Trying to get some sanity in this .... there must have appeared a new Northbridge to build pegasos2.

Or Genesi is developing their own (and the MAI relationship has ended).

...

Amiga fanatic could say that when the AOS4 release and especially the A1G4XE release is approaching, this pegasos2 announcement is meant to hold the buyers for Genesi.

And MOS fanatics counter comment would be "isn't that what Amiga and Eyetech did" and they are right (too).


Well... time will tell.

>Now who is going to laugh at whom?

And who will laugh last?

[KennyR]

And who will laugh last?

Judging by the progress of A1, OS4, MOS and Pegasos, I think Bill Gates.
