Okay I am attempting to put this as plain and non spamming as I can. I know several of you have been looking to get a Pegasos. Now you can for the best price to date. $299 for a G3 and $499 for a G4. Go take a look here: https://www.pegasosppc.com/store.php?category=1

Damn...that's a good value. It's really not worth passing up.
Wait...I'm broke and unemployed.....
Yeah it is..... :-( :-(

No, just when you sell in volume you get a better price is all. Unlike another PPC board that runs an OS that looks like one we all love this one sells and works as it should. :-D

There was no reason to post a sarcastic responce. I was just inquiring as to the "While Supplies Last" mentioned on the page. It kind of implies limited quantities possibly due to being fased out, ie, ending production.
In reference to the 600 Mhz version that is.
Lets not play these games, it's boring now.

Much better deals; here (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/70602/wo/OO3oJ4i2oE593pVOeb01u4ZSD3G/1.0.11.1.0.6.29.1.0.21.3.1.1.0?23,9) and here (http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/cto_dp_dimen2400_2?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs)
The deals mentioned are for plug and play boxes, not just a motherboard/cpu combo. Both come with free shipping.
As many, many others have mentioned, -- even though it's been clarified elsewhere -- the "limited quantities" reeks of "fire sale" and with the newer smaller motherboard supposedly on the table, it wouldn't surprise me if "fire sale" were more accurate than you'd like to pretend. I would indeed be surprised if you can still reasonably get cpu's at this point with Apple ditching them.

Sure, there isn´t gonna be anymore G3s, thats no big secret.
I wonder about the G4 is there gonna be a 7447A or 7448-card?
Or a new board(pegasos 2,5)?

Apple has ditched 68k, you can´t get 68k-variant-cpus anymore? :-)
Freescale had already shifted focus to the embedded market. G5s might get hard to get but the G4s ain´t a problem.
Though I wonder about the point of a 7448-based peg2,5, why not just make a cpu-card for the existing design and skip forward to the 8641D?
MPC8641D will be its most powerful chip yet, with dual e600 cores each delivering "greater than 1.5GHz performance." The chip will also integrate two 1MB L2 caches, dual AltiVec vector processing engines, a high-bandwidth integrated MPX bus (inter-core bus) capable of clock speeds up to 667MHz, a dual memory controller supporting DDR and DDR2, a RapidIO serial fabric interface (useful in Linux/AdvancedTCA systems), and four 10/100/1000 Ethernet MACs with protocol accelerators of various kinds.
This processor integrates two e600 PowerPC cores, two memory controllers, Ethernet controllers, a RapidIO™ fabric interface, a PCI Express I/O interface, and a high performance MPX bus that scales to 667 MHz. It's one powerful processor, but it doesn't break the power budget starting at 15 Watts.
Easier to make a small high performance board with that I think. :-)
But 2x1,5+Ghz isn´t 3Ghz and Steve promised 3Ghz.
Too bad Steve cant get 3ghz lowpower laptops from Intel..... :-P

If you're talking about the PPC board that I imagine you are (that runs an OS that is one many of us love), it all works fine. Unless you're referring to the OS not being able to use a few features of the board (e.g. composite video out) but MOS cannot use the Firewire ports AFAIK...
Hey - I genuinely hope that at least one of the "Amigoid" OSes has some success, so no hard feelings (it is indeed very good value). Apologies if this unintentionally comes out as a trolling post (if so, can the mods please edit it) but I think that sly comments like that keep the pervasive divides in this community open and demean us all :-(

it all works fine
Wow, this is news. It should be posted as separate newsitem!

Looks like some people are so desperate for trolling these days.
Yes as a owner I can second that it all works fine. It runs the OS for which I bought it and also
I get real updates of it not only little patches.
Piru, I'd guess you better add TCP/IP, Disk Drive and FireWire support
for your favourite OS and then go nitpicking about the "competition"¹.
¹ I don't see MorphOS as a competitor of AmigaOS, not anymore.
-
i guess you can sa it is a fire sale for the G3 version. Genesi no longer makes the G3 cards so when they are sold out thats it for those.

If thats not going to start a flame war I don't know what is.

@drHirudo
I'm happy for you, you have hardware and software you're happy about. That is good.
I still don't consider the articia based (without april) hardware working though, but that's just my opinion.
The comment was meant to be sarcastic, and it was about the hardware, not software.
If you have any real questions about MorphOS progress, feel free to privmsg me.

Piru
Even WITH April articia is still suspect imo...
magnetic
ps.. how is MOS "1.5" coming along? :-P
