a) FUD : On this point Hyperion and AInc are allready in deep sh*** (with Eyetech trailing behind),
and Genesi still has alot to do to come ven close ....

b)"half the speed of a 060" : Well that IS 100% BS, even the non-JIT emu is much faster than
a 060, and the PPC-native adds alot of extra speed to most daily apps. The JIT is talked to
reach about 50-70% of thehost CPU.

It may fit in with the performance of a non-JITed UAE, but that is something all computers
with a PPC-CPU in the 600-1000 mhz-class will have to face (until Bernie releases his
PPC_2_68k-JIT).

The only real difference between AmigaOS(4) and MorphOS is the name, and if names had
matter for me, I would never had bought an Amiga in the 1st place (think abaout Apple or even
AtariSt), but the technology is was allways counted for me, and thats is why I bought the A500
back than and the Peg last year.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

How about getting a basic clue before you start posting such crap ?

I DID use Amithlon for over 1 year as my main Amiga, and it was much faster than the A4k (060),
even more stable. It did run GoldED, TurboPrint, IBrowse, AWeb, YAM, fxPaint, StormC,
AmigaWriter (oh well ....) ArtEffect and and ...

Same goes for the Pegasos since last october (yes much faster than 060).

Offcourse both won't run HW-dependant games, but Inoone (sane) bought them for that, and
those games won't run on the A1 either (outside UAE that is).

If you want old games, stay with your A500/1200 or use UAE.

OS4 won't be any help here (not on the A1 and very likely not even on CS-PPC).

Yes I know someone will come allong to babble about the virtual-addressing, and how it
could be used to intregrate a AA-emu into OS4, but that would need to written 1st (and I
don't see anybody lining up for that task), and will never be as good as the real thing
or even UAE.

And since the topic is AmigaOne vs. Pegasos it would be completly OT to go any
further on that route of discussion.
