So, MorphOS wins! Looks like OS 5 (or whatever) may have some catching up to do :)

I've yet to try either, heh. But just out of interest, is there a huge difference in performance between OS4 on Pegasos and OS4 on Sam? Has anyone tried both?

Of course! A *huge* difference! At least it should be! Have you even looked at the specs?

A Pegasos2 with a G4 (with both Altivec and L2 cache) @ 1000MHz *runs circles* around any embedded "G2" processor like the AMCC440/MPC5200b. Even the Peg2 G3 might win. The lack of L2 cache will be especially obvious when running older amiga applications. :-)


Heh, you caught me ;)  I have to admit I knew very little about the Peg2 specs, but for some reason I had it in my mind that they were a similar speed to the Sam :o Dunno where I got that from.  

So anyway, yes, that answers my question! It's been quite a long time since I've done anything Amiga-y, so I'm kind of catching up on what's been going on.
