Amigaone and Pegasus

[Kronos]

Flamefest ahoi .....

Available ? What do you mean by available

O.k. I'll try:
The Pegasos(I) is sold out atm, but you might still find one left over at some dealers.
The Pegasos II (note the "o"  ;-) ) is due to be out next month.

The A1 is supossed to be available right now, but there is still quite a back-log in orders
(rumours say up to 6 months), due to rather low production-numbers.

The main differnce between the Peg1 and A1 is that the Peg allready ships with an OS
usable as Amiga right now (MorphOS1.4 that is), while the A1 is (and will be for some
time) shipped with Linux only.

Both do use the ArticiaS-Northbridge which only allows for SDRAM while the Peg2
will use up2date DDR-RAM.

There is also quite a pricegap between the Pegs and the A1s.

My advice for a "restarter" :
a) Wait a few months.
b) Get a Peg1 now

No sense in buying an A1 now when you allready have an x86 >1ghz to run Linux on.

Personally I went for a) in last October since I was sick and tired of all the waiting, a
descision I have never regretted eversince.

As I said, try to contact some dealers (depending on where you live).

@ikir
Trolling ? Pot black kettle or how was that ?

I did state that getting a Peg right now is hard but not impossible. Thats a fact !

I did state that the Ped is DUE for next month, wether they match that date is
beyond anybodies guess.

"OS4 is near" is something that I heard for the last 20 months, or even
longer if I count the the H&P-effort.

What we have seen sofar is a CS-PPC-version NOT ready for release, and no
release-date set sofar. So "and will be for some
time" for the A1-version
is just a mild way of stating the obvious..

I heard alot of contractigting info on that A1-lite. Once it is said to be just
a shrink down-version of the A1-SE/TeronCX (maybe with different VIA-SB),
which would mean that it would still be SDRAM only and therefore no match
for the Pegasos2. And than there is talk about it being ready for DDR-RAM
which means it would be based on the still unreleased ArticiaP.

That offcourse would mean that it would be atleast twice as much vapour as the
Peg2 (the Marvel-NB is tested and available right now), and a consumer-ready
mobo within the next 12 months would be highly unlikely.

Bout "Amiga".

1st you have to find out what "Amiga" means for you:
the trademark ? the technolgy ? the apps ? the games ? the community ?
and than buy would serves that best.
