The OS is what makes an Amiga and so Peg/MOS is no alternative to me since I want AmigaOS. I can't agree on the Professionalism with so much FUD originating from them.
Don't know if this is correct any longer but at AmiGBG03 I was told by one of the Peg demo crew that a PegG3/600 could only run 68K apps at about half the speed of a 060/50 with the JIT they had. Feels like a downgrade to me when knowing that I would run a bunch of old software on a new machine.
I can speak from experience here. The Peg1G3/600 runs 68k code faster than any 060 I've ever used, without JIT. Perhaps things have changed over the months.
It certainly is not a downgrade, since I can run 68k stuff, WarpOS stuff, PowerUp stuff, and the growing list of MOS native stuff.
Seems the Genisi team has delivered reality, a system that really works right now, and their customer support is second to none. :-D :-D
I showed off Peggy at a local Amiga User's group two weeks in a row, and the reaction was most impressive. :-) There was an A1/XE at the meeting also, but it could only run Linux. If a comparison is to be made right now, the Pegasos is the clear winner for price, and it's ability to run Amiga software. Maybe the odds will even up a bit when AOS is released for the A1 sometime next year. The club members got to see registered MUI 3.9, registered Poseiden (working), and all sorts of other stuff.
Looking forward to MOS1.4. :-D :-?
