I agree MorphOS should be made for the AmigaOne.
Not as a free product of course but as a software solution. Price the CDROM at about a hundred bucks or so.


I also think Genesi missed the boat by not licensing AmigaOS for the Pegasos boards. Hyperion does not really care who they make the OS for. They just want to sell copies of the OS.
They have stated repeatedly a willingness to develope for the Pegasos board.
Bill Buck just needs to trank dart Frank. :)  And talk to Hyperion. Hyperion would just need some infomation on the Specifics of the Pegasos BootROM and any hardware or Timing differences from the AmigaOnes hardware.
If there is concern about helping Eyetech they could write the HAL for Hyperion. But seeing how the Pegasos II board uses diferent hardware that should not be a great concern to Genesi.

I know a bunch of people who would have gladly purchased a Pegasos board if it had the ability to run AmigaOS or at least the prospect of being able to purchase AmigaOS for it some time in the future.

Well it is not Hyperion!!!!

It might be Amiga Inc but I doubt it anybody who waved money at AMiga Inc is welcomed considering how strapped for cash they are.

But seeing how certain Employees at Genesi have resisted and hindered the Porting of AmigaOS for the classic line.

I believe, and this is pure speculation that it is internal problem within Genesi.

I agree with Warface.

But Hyperion would need at least some help from Genesi to Make this possible.
The boot ROM using one of Jens boards or a USB Dongle would be an exceptable solution

Well Warface then Genesi just needs to Rename certain models of the PegII to AmigaTwo.

That should make everybody happy. AII for people who want Amigas and PegII for people who want MorphOS
 
Yeh I know I keep editing this post and the UniOne for people who want both
