I suspect you`ll find it a whole lot more difficult than you think making the Peg 2 rohs compliant. I don`t think Genesi would have bothered giving the specs away if they had any intention of doing so.
I suspect I've helped make a couple 100 more products RoHS compliant then you, so lets just put you down on the incorrect side of this argument. All of the primary parts are RoHS or have RoHS drop in replacements, it took about 20 minutes to run that here.
My bet is no more will ever be made.
That is probably true, because of the Peg 3. And unless I have totally missed the announcement, I believe Peg 3 is still going to be made.
Could MorphOS run on it anyway? Are the MorphOS team willing given their falling out with Genesi? Although Bill Buck insists MorphOS will run on Efika we are hearing different stories elsewhere.
MorphOS can run on one processor with a little work, using both processors will require rework, but Ralph is closer to doing that then the Wonder Twins are.
Yeah the Amy 05 isn`t exactly state of the art but
then neither is the Efika.
Efika is going to list at $100, for $100 its great for the price and what its aimed at. Amy 05 isnt a real product, the board in the picture will not run, and likely never will, lets not compare a hoax to a shipping product, as for the Panda board, its not RoHS compliant, and has much bigger issues with that then the Peg 2, though they probably are fixable.
The Peg 2 will outrun ACK`s 1.7ghz Powervixen?
I`ve got nothing against MorphOS but the shear
hatred of some of it`s advocates is disturbing,
If ACK ever ships we'll see if it outruns the fastest Peg 2, given some of the workarounds we've been told about, I wouldnt bet on it.
you seem to take great pleasure in predicting other peoples failures. If your sides so great then why not just enjoy it.
You seem to imply I'm a MorphOS fan, I'm really not, though Ralph has done some nice work with his OS. I just think sitting around talking about how great boards so poorly designed that an engineer with any experience can tell you won't work just by looking at a picture of it, is silly and allowing Troika to continue the hoax any longer just shows how naive whats left of the Amiga community has become. But don't take my word for it, or Joanna's or Bernd, send the pic to Dave and see what he thinks about it.
