Pegasos: Yes.
It is custom designed (like the real Amiga) by Amiga hardware experts (like the real Amiga), runs existing Amiga applications (both PPC and 68k) (like the real Amiga) .
Most people realise the Teron/AmigaOne is dead and it's only the real "name" fanatics who would still consider purchasing one, especially with all the problems people have been experiencing, and the far-superior (and far cheaper) Pegasos II due out very soon.
Could someone please explain how the Pegasos is anymore a "custom design" than any other micro-ATX motherboard? I mean seriously Lando, you sound just like a "real 'name' fanatic"... Just worshipping a name that beginss with a "G" or maybe "P" as opposed to one that begins with an "A".
Frankly, I'm
sick of
both! I spend most of my time lurking because of the hostile environment the "'Amiga'
Community" has become. Makes me wonder sometimes if this really is a
Community or just a bunch of gangs fighting over turf.
I am not slamming the Pegasos here or defending the AmigaOne. I'm just pointing out that this nonsense about the Pegasos being a more 'holy' design is utterly ridiculous. The Pegasos is a micro-ATX PPC motherboard, the AmigaOne is an ATX PPC motherboard. bPlan/Genesi could have designed the AmigaOne, MAI could have designed the Pegasos. They are both pretty generic ATX class designs.
Amiga hardware as we knew it (A1000/A500-A4000/A1200) is dead! We are not likey to see another 'custom' design like that of the 'Classic Amiga' ever. From here on out, 'Amiga' hardware (whether it be from Eyetech, Genesi, Abit, Apple, Asus, Epox, GigaByte, IBM etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum) is going to be 'PC' clones with maybe PPC processors.
So, the sooner
we all stop these pointless 'Which is more an 'Amiga', the AmigaOne or the Pegasos?' arguments the better.
