Hi Sdyates,

Like the others said, if you want to run a nextgen Amiga OS 'now' just get yourself a Pegasos II board, the hardware is bugfree and available. Besides MorphOS you have a great choice of different Linux distro's and you can even run MacOSX if you want. You won't regret it, MorphOS is very Amiga like and it's very compatible.

Look on the following sites for more info:

MorphZone
Pegasos-Forum (German)
Pegasos.org
Ambient Open Source Team
MorphOS News

Theres really not that much in it, if you're talking 68k apps. OS4 isn't as "incompatible" as certain people seem keen to point out.


I visit AWN regular because I'm also interested in the development of OS4, it's a nice OS. Sometimes I read about classic Amiga software not working on OS4 out of the box. Strangly the same software just works on MorphOS. And in future it's gone be worse with the planned memory protection for OS4 more classic software will fail to run on OS4.

had more programs,


OS4Depot has over 1000 files, and grows daily. OS4 has its fair share of developers.

There is also much source code listed on OS4Depot and much of the software are just recompiled linux/sdl games and utils. MOS has that too, but there's also lot's of MOS native software available.

more users,


There is absolutely no proof of that. How many people bought a Peg for MOS compared to A1 sales? Who can really say with certainty?

For one thing, MorphOS is also available for classic Amiga users who are fortunate enough to have hardware which is supported. And don't forget, hardware to run MorphOS is available now, the MOS community is slowly growing. That can't be said about the OS4 community, there's no hardware available.

and more fun that OS4 Atm.


Purely subjective. OS4 provides me with a fantastic Amiga experience, and I use it every day.[/quote]

And that's just great, enjoy your choice! I enjoy my choice because it gives me that Amiga experience I want.
