thus you can't purchase AmigaOS with ROM to install on it. When/IF Peagasos gets approved you can then buy Amiga OS for it.
From November 2001 right up to last week Hyperion said all that
was needed for AOS4 to run on the Pegasos is a dev-board+doku.
Then you had to licence it by AInc. Ben Hermans said this could be
done by a dealer who purchases a bunch of boards and gets them
approved. He also said that this wouldn't cost extra money.
Today you need a special rom(socket). The Pegasos doesn't have
a rom-socket because no modern computer has these today.
To get a socket on the Pegasos you would have to ask BPlan
(no Dealer can do this). Given the tight layout of the board this
will cost a lot of time and money. Right now the Pegasos is
cheaper as the A1 and this HAS to change !
Eyetech/AInc/Hyperion know that the A1 can't stand the Pegasos
in terms of price and features in a fair competition. And they knew
from day 1 (Nov.2001) that it didn't have a rom-socket.

Thats funny. If i wanted to run a stolen copy of AOS4 on the linux-
version of the A1 i only have to find somebody who has a Epromer.
If you want a good copy-protection: Use USB-dongles !
Their cheap , hard to crack and work on every system with USB.
Conclusion:
a)"They" don't know what they are doing.
b)"They" are/were lying.
c)"They" change the rules on a daily basis
