How does it compare to the PPC/Bvision type combo's that used to be the top of the chain?


It is a totally different world. Everything is faster, smoother and works better. You can try MorphOS on your BPPC/BVision system but it is a lot slower than on Pegasos of course. I use my Pegasos now since over 2 years and it replaces my old A4k-PowerUP System completly.

Do the orignal games work on the system ok? I guess they should if the orignal OS works with them... Am I right?


What you mean with original games? You have to know that MorphOS is not an UAE and all software that requieres AGA or any special amiga hardware wont work of course.

Here a small list what runs on Pegasos:
Shogo, Wipeout2097, Heretic1+2, Quake1+2+3, Payback, Earth2140, FeebleFiles, Freespace, Knights&Merchants,...

I saw a few bargins for graphics cards on Ebay ( ATI's 9500 pro for example) for £30 which isnt too bad.. I was curious as to whether or not it could be used in the Pegasos system that was all.. I figured for gaming it would be a lot better than the 9250 model..


The Radeon 9250 is the highest card that will run with MorphOS for now. You can choose between Voodoo3, Voodoo4, Voodoo5 or Radeon 7x00 till 9250. There are also some old SiS and Permedia2 cards supported.

So basically its 'useless' for like The Settlers, Skidmarks, Banshee etc then?

That is ok... I'm just finding out all this now rather than going out and buying it and asking why its not all working!! ;)


Well, you can run UAE on MorphOS for the old games of course. ;-)

Will later model graphics cards be working at some point?


Depends if they are compatible with the AGP 2.0 Port in Pegasos.

These are good points... But I dont think I could ever give up my Amiga 1200.... Its got true sentimental value for that :D


Yes, I understand that. I also still have my A1200 beside my Pegasos here.
