Its hard to be an optimist when the project has gone completely off track and was hyped like mad a while back and there has been no movement. I actually was excited for X1000 when first announced but now seems rather lame and looks as if the porting is going rough..

the terons weren't nearly as interesting given that they were evaluation boards using commodity parts that had been breathed on for the amiga community. the pegasos was more or less the same story, although slightly more interesting because it was designed from the get-go as the basis for a desktop system.

Umm comparing the Teron with the Pegasos is not even in the same ballpark. Those terons were crap eval boards that motorola themselves (the cpu supplier) couldnt even utilize. The pegasos is a custom designed multi layer board of substantially higher quality and is and end user product. Terons were NEVER intended to be sold to public, its quite lame that Hyperion and Eyetech did that,especially for those prices! But looks like a repeat job with X1000... the morph guys learned to use good commerical commodity hw (apple hw) OS4 should have went this route (project moana proves it why the *#(@&* would they abandon that project? licensing?)
