@thread

please keep in mind site rules prohibit posting links to commercial software without permission of the copyright owner. i know this seems a little, er, strange since the companies in question no longer exist, but, still.... ;)

Is it still available? phoenixkonsole's latest postings on Amiga-News sound like he removed it.
correct. according to pascal's post on AWN (link), he is withdrawing them from sale due to lack of commercial rights. so that's that, then.

@trekiej

besides phase5? i know of some prototypes being produced, by one of the guys at metabox, but can't think of anyone who produced powerpc accelerator expansions other than phase 5 with their blizzard and cyberstorm lines. can anyone else?

So you mean that when you install AOS4 and there comes this "legal agreement" or what ever they call it there, there reads what you just quoted or they have said it elsewhere?
the license includes the following line:

Quote
This license allows you to install or operate the Amiga OS only on a computer system that had a version of AmigaOS installed on it at the time you acquired such computer system or which was especially prepared for running Amiga OS through the use of a dedicated flashrom or similar mechanism.

thats an interesting clause anyway. by this definition installing os4 on genuine amigaone computers must have likely been illegal as well, since as far as i have heard they were delivered with linux as os4 wasnt available at the release. am i wrong?
no. you are wrong. "This License allows you to install and use the Amiga OS on a single Amiga-branded or Amiga-licensed computer at a time."

@wawrzon

yes, you're wrong again. the amigaone was an amiga-licensed product and mark back in the mist of time. plus the firmware was altered to support AOS, so it's covered anyway.

@itix

dunno. the license text is probably different. but i would imagine that hyperion wouldn't have a license they solely write for a product they solely sell and produce that prevents its use. :lol:

Can you check it from your OS4 FE install CD? Could be interesting to know and certainly running Classic OS4 in WinUAE is not only option. Pegasos hardware can be emulated on Windows and Linux...
i'll see if i can pull it out of the "stack of stuff" in the basement tonight and double-check. i wasn't aware the pegasos could be emulated, though. you mean through QEMU or something else?
