Pegasos II vs AmigaOne

[NicoPPC]

I know this has probably been brought up before, but which do you all perfer. Pegasos II or AmigaOne?

The Pegasos II is obviously beter and cheaper than the AOne.
Moreover AOne is known to have DMA problems.

Vesalia price:
- Peg II G3 600Mhz: 346 Euros
- AOne G3 800: 759 Euros

A lot of cheaper even if AOne has a faster G3

The Pegasos II seems to be the better system, and cheaper! However, I have a question reguarding MorphOS. Does MorphOS support Amiga games, and applications?

MorphOS supports every system-friendly application. Demo and old amiga game can be use with UAE.

From a hardware point of view the PegII is far better, it's obvious.
From a software point of view: it is too if you consider that OS4 is still in beta while MorphOS is release. Even if you consider latest OS4 beta I've saw and "old" MorphOS 1.4. MorphOS is still far in advance.

Of course, OS4 fan will prefer the AOne for the OS4...

In conclusion my choice is Peg II because it's cheaper, better, working, and MorphOS is usable and perfectly able to execute Amiga applications

Moreover, Linux and OpenBSD are working of  Peg which is nice for my school stuff

April does anything apart from slowing down everything? Why it slows down Articia to 100Mhz instead of 133?

April does not slow down everything. April DOES not slow down the bus, this is setup by the FirmWare (you can read the FirmWare startup serial output).
And even if the April WOULD slow down the computer it WOULD be worth because it DOES fix ArticiaS issue.

 Why Pegasos II still has compatibility issues with some DDR dimms if it has been set up with conservative settings?

There are indeed , some imconpatibles memory module, but nothing compare to the ArticiaS 's hell.

Why PegasosII still has lock-ups with the IDE? The southbridge is still initialized incorrectly (like in the pegasos1)? Problems with the interrupts? Wasn't it an ArticiaS issue?

It has never been said it was because of the ArticiaS, but a bug (maybe lack of doc) of the VIA8231.
This problem is not Pegasos specific. And it IS fix in software in Linux. And you can solve it in MorphOS 1.4, you have to disable the removable feautre of you CD/DVD/ZIP drive using UnitControl

If doing Articia drivers is not so problematic why the UDMA OS4 drivers are taking do long?

Well, maybe because ArticiaS DMA doesn't work
(I'm just ironic here, I dunno at all !!)

Why the Pegasos hasn't a Firewire or floppy driver yet?

Pegasos DOES have driver for floppy and FireWire using Linux or OpenBSD (only floppy I guess).
About MorphOS certainly because they don't want to support stone age device (for floppy), and because FireWire need a driver but also the whole stack ...

None of both solutions seems to be 100% safe yet. Both parties have to improve their drivers a lot. When the drivers are finished it will be the time to compare.

Pegasos IS safe.
