Stop spreading uneducated bullshit...
MorphOS' A/Box is FULLY PPC native and
has *MANY* new features. It has everything
you might want except full Memory Protection,
which is NOT possible with the AmigaOS API,
except if you run old progs in a sandbox and the
rest of the os and new apps seperately, EXACTLY
what MorphOS will do with the Q/Box and what
Hyperion plans to do in the future.
The difference is that MorphOS is already ready
for that change, while OS4 is not just yet.""
 

Cool! can you give me an URL to the compleat non beta Pegasos/MOS system please.
 
Anything beta means not ready to me & i will never pay for beta knowingly.

""Well, my concern is this: when OS4 was announced, shortly afterwords Elbox was touting their SharkPPC card saying that it would run OS4. Much later the Pegasos board was announced as well which is a nicer (in my opinion) board than the A1.

Now it seems, mainly due to this 'dongle' issue that SharkPPC's and PegasOs boards (which are hardware compliant) wont be running OS4. I just don't care for this approach, seeing as the end user will probably have to pay more money for a 'dongled' board due to licensing costs"


Where have you been over the last 6 months.
 
The licensing costs nothing & flashing the Bios dont cost much either
And seeing both the pegasos & the Aone have to reflash the Bios anyway as none of then use the bio info that came as standard. The cost of adding the Aos4 key at the same time in the bios=O
 
Aos4 will work on PPC cards there is no reason why it wont work on the shark & issue of the shark atm is not the dongle its the fact that Elbox will not send hyperion a board or a spec sheet.

"2) The only thing running on the A1 is ExecSG which is useless on its own. I think people are far too optimistic regarding how long it will take for the complete OS to be ported. Even when it is there is little telling what percentage of the OS will be native. MacOS was LESS dependent on specialized chips than AmigaOS and it took many years for a fully PowerPC version to surface."
 
i would not complare the porting of MacOS to PPC with the porting of AmigaOs to ppc.
 
as they are nothing alike & the sizes of the oses are nothing alike.

"I hope they wise up and give the community and computer world as large a chance to see AOS on at least generic PPC"

what generic PPC are you on about ?

there aint any.

All there IS, is the AmigaOne,Pegasos,the amigappc cards out atm & Aos4 will run on all but the pegasos &
Mos will run on All but the Aone as things stand ATM. so there is no differnce ATM anyway.

& this talk about ruunig an a Mac was brought up by ppl wanting Aos4 first now MOS are saying the same thing.
 
untill it happends it means sh** to me as i have seen sooo many times about what will come out for this & that to the point that i dont care untill its here.
 
i will buy on what its got to offer now more than what it may have in a future.


if whats its got now is not good enough then dont even bother with it now, just wait untill its got what you want before buying it.

Even some of my old SW has said addon packs will be avaliable but did.

But did i really care, NO as i did not buy the damn game for the 8 more fighters to follow in the addon pack that never came out.
 
I bought the game for what did have.
