I'm guessing that having access to full hardware documentation for the Pegasos II made a faster port.

Anyhow, here's hoping that they will make an OS for the Mac eventually.

 :-D


I hope so too. Actually, I hope that they go for a PowerBook model since I would like an Amiga laptop. The Openfirmware bootloader for the Pegasos II port would probably come in handy.

That would be great news if I had a pegasos, still good that OS4 is being ported to another system.

Well, it's about time!  Now if they'd just make an x86 port......

Was not expecting this! It's a tempting purchase - dual boot MorphOS/OS4 on my Peg and sell the A1...

This news doesn't do much to resolve the hardware shortage, but I imagine it will encourage more parallel development of programs for both OSes...

That's quite cool! I wonder if Genesi will start producing the board again. I really think that 2009 is going to make a great year. Here's to the Ox!

I for one am really pleased about this!  I just bought a Peg2 G4 only the week before last.  Looks like by some fluke my timeing couldn't have been better!

I wonder if my catweasel mk4 will work in the peg under os4.1?   :idea:

Very unlikely due to RoHS. It *could* be done, but it would be  very expensive. A new board around the 8610 is more likely (but also nothing I'd currently bet on).
I think after HYperion showed now that the license bull is just bull, nothing prevents them to do a Mac port. Minis and such are out there en mass. My Mini's waiting for a proper OS, too. Most likely that will be MorphOS, but if OS 4.1 comes for the Mini earlier than MorphOS comes, then I might get tempted.
So: go Hyperion, go MorphOS-Team - hurry up to finish your ports! The one who comes first has a warranted sale (the MorphOS-Team has a warranted sale anyway I guess ;-)).

Seriously, I'm delighted to see this news.  That blue boing ball looks really cool.

Sorry, just venting a bit. This is a good sign I suppose. At least they're working on the OS and trying to produce for more users, unlike the Amiga Inc spacemen. ( I say that, because they're OUT THERE !  :lol: )

Anyhow, here's hoping that they will make an OS for the Mac eventually.

 :-D

Maybe they are even working on it. Not would surprise me after seeing them release it for Pegasos. They seem to keep quiet about things happening behind the scenes.
