Title: Just got a Developer Pre-release copy of OS4
Post by: Spidey on June 11, 2004, 06:55:09 AM
Hi everybody,

To my surprise I got a Developer Pre-release copy of OS4.
Did all people who paid for the €50,- coupon receive this copy?

The lay-out sure does look nice :-)

Bye,

Spidey

First of all, Lucky you i'm still waiting in the UK and secondly-
Are you saying you haven't bought an A1?

Spipdey,

You are registered in our system as an A1 owner, that's why you got the CD. Maybe there was a mixup I don't know.

Does it install on your Pegasos? :-)

Cheers,
Ron

Hi cap,

Well, no :-)

I'm one of the people who got tired of waiting and switched over to the Pegasos. (already more than a year ago, time flies!)
Before that I was one of the people who paid for the €50,- coupon and all.

Bye,

Spidey

Hi Ron :-)

I didn't try it yet :-)

But I don't mind having this copy, because I want to support the great work of Hyperion to accomplish this.

Bye,

Spidey

@ Spidey

:-o :lol:

Well, if you haven't got any use for it, you could always do "the good
deed of the day" and send it to Olegil or someone else who is still
waiting! :-) Or perhaps just keep it as a souvernir? :-)

Perhaps the CD is intended for ironing on a T-Shirt =).

Or do the "the nasty deed of the day" and send Olegil the empty case.

Make sure you put one of these unbrakeable shrink-foils around it  :-D  :-P

Yeah! I guess everybody in Sweden have received the CD. Haven't heard of anybody still waiting out there. Now to install!

Regards the A1
The question now is - has the new owner been registered
i.e will they get a copy of the prelease? and like you i've probably paid as much.   ;)

Well guys,

I turned this case inside out, but couldn't find any t-shirts :-)

Oh well, perhaps you have to have an A1 to "unlock" this feature, so I'll send this copy back to Palpatine so he can send it to an A1 owner :-)

Bye,

Spidey

ps: the AHI-prefs is the only prog that works directly in MorphOS. :-)

I'd like to see OS4 in action, but I doubt anyone near Massachusetts has a copy to demo.  :inquisitive:

If you can hook up the serial port to another systems serial port that is running a term prog., you will be able to see the output from U-boot and see where it is stopping.  That is the most useful way of finding what is making it stop.
