my missus would kill me if I spent that much on a theory.


One word would have done

Missus

Nicholas Blachford of Genesi and I set up a list on Phoenix - and there are a lot of OSes being ported to Pegasos. It's going to be a multi-boot monster!

MoL wont work, I did once hear a report that it was working but I think that was it, just a report.

I asked the MoL author about it and he said it doesn't emulate old hardware and BeOS PPC won't run on anything very new.

I guess it could be done but I don't know how much work would be involved.

Zeta could be ported and thats not out of the question but at the moment they have their hands full with the x86 version and then we'll need to convince them it's a good idea.

OpenBeOS on the other hand is on the way already and it doesn't look like much right now but they want to do the engine before painting the bodywork.

At BeGeistert the guys tried to get R5 booted via Boch and it got to the end of the boot sequence but couldn't open a screen :-(

If we can't get them to MorphOS for whatever reason (religion?) we can still get them to the Pegasos.

Lack of a driver, no doubt if they had gone into the boot options menu they could have selected a vesa mode to get a screen up.
