Title: OS 4.1 for Pegasos
Post by: zylesea on January 31, 2009, 06:30:14 PM: Hyperion release OS 4.1 for the Pegasos.
Surprising move. But I am not too temped to pace an order, I don't see any benefit in running OS 4.1 on my Pegasos. But others my do, so they have the option to do so.
Kid of funny anyway, if you consider all tat FUD of the history.

Post by: Andeda on January 31, 2009, 08:04:59 PM: interesting news, i wonder how many Pegasos systems there are out there?
Title: Re: OS 4.1 for Pegasos
Post by: Edpon on January 31, 2009, 08:12:42 PM: Man, this is seriously disturbing me. Why do these guys keep insisting on releasing the OS for hard to find/get hardware or out dated hardware? Why not release it for say - ANY G4 enabled MAC?!?!. User base would skyrocket. There are plenty of G4 Macs.

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

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

:-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.

Title: Re: OS 4.1 for Pegasos
Post by: Matt_H on January 31, 2009, 10:48:48 PM: 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...

Well at least a release on the amiga world without rumours and hype.

Post by: Ruud on January 31, 2009, 11:59:55 PM: 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 ;-)).

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.

I hope they reconsider the mac port (mini and laptop, at least) now...

Great news, anyway... congratulations to Hyperion.

Title: Re: OS 4.1 for Pegasos
Post by: Jeff on February 01, 2009, 01:19:19 PM: I must be missing something. Why release OS4.x for yet another motherboard that can't even be purchased used any more? I just don't get it unless it is part of a bigger plan of some sort. Rogue has already said more than once that the documentation needed to finish the OS4 port to PPC Macs isn't available. That says to me that OS4 won't ever happen for PPC Macs.

So again our only option for hardware to run OS4 is a low end $600.00+ Sam board? Please enlighten me.

Thanks,
-Jeff

Post by: takemehomegrandma on February 01, 2009, 05:48:37 PM: Surprising indeed.

Is there a free demo you could download somewhere, like you can with MorphOS? I probably won't be buying this (I see no point) but it would be interesting to at least try it out and see how it compares to MorphOS...

Your way of trolling, is slowly derailing in some sort of "art".

You would deserve a prize

Post by: takemehomegrandma on February 01, 2009, 07:02:34 PM: WTF?! Where was the trolling? Was it that I was requesting a demo, or that I stated that I probably won't be buying OS4 but would like to test it?

I think he clearly said that this: ":crazy:" way.

:idea: Or perhaps he meant that MOS is too hasty while booting. ;-)

@all

Surely flamewars can be left behind?

I'm happy with recents developments. Planning to switch my MacMini to Peg2 & hoping to get 2.5" HDD for my SAM verysoonnow (tm). And my boing ball was a little bit blue allready.

You mean by dozen? Doubt many will spend money on OS4 who have already invested to rather expensive MOS2.

Strange, I just tried it on my A1-XE, and it worked fine. Have you downloaded and installed warposemu (http://os4depot.net/share/library/misc/warposemu.lha)? Make sure that you follow the instructions regarding WipeOut2097.
