@Xeron:

Vote of confidence for AROS noted, I am sure Matt would be pleased to see someone say it too :¬)

Aye :-)

I too hope that we can have all three to play with. My dream would be for each one to implement features which cause the other ones to improve, thus creating a massive improvemnt cycle!!!!

Nothing drives improvments faster than competition... except maybe money, but there's not a lot of that floating around the Amiga Comunity.

I also think there's so much bad blood between the two "factions" now so MorphOS for A1 would be like a sign of defeat for them now.

Defeat or Wake Up Call?

I agree MorphOS should be made for the AmigaOne.
Not as a free product of course but as a software solution. Price the CDROM at about a hundred bucks or so.


I also think Genesi missed the boat by not licensing AmigaOS for the Pegasos boards. Hyperion does not really care who they make the OS for. They just want to sell copies of the OS.
They have stated repeatedly a willingness to develope for the Pegasos board.
Bill Buck just needs to trank dart Frank.  And talk to Hyperion. Hyperion would just need some infomation on the Specifics of the Pegasos BootROM and any hardware or Timing differences from the AmigaOnes hardware.
If there is concern about helping Eyetech they could write the HAL for Hyperion. But seeing how the Pegasos II board uses diferent hardware that should not be a great concern to Genesi.

I know a bunch of people who would have gladly purchased a Pegasos board if it had the ability to run AmigaOS or at least the prospect of being able to purchase AmigaOS for it some time in the future.

Do you seriously think that it is the Genesi who are holding up the porting of AOS4 to the Peg?!?!

Genesi have tried very hard to have as many OS's on their platform as possible (including providing generous support). Hyperion are the ones who call the shots with AOS4 and they decide the licencing deals...  :-o

The downside from the Genesi perspective is of course that there might
be some people buying an A1 (despite the price) because they believe
"it is the only system that will run both OS:es". I'm not sure how big
this group is. I don't know how many people bought an A1 yet. Ben
didn't want to tell at the "on tour" show, although he said it was
more than those buying a Pegasos (whether this included future A1
sales, or what number he was comparing to, I don't know). Well, not
too convincing if he can't even give a number out. Personally I think
about half as many A1 sales as Pegasos sales seems like a fairly good
guess, without having any hard figures.

No need to panic there... eventually all machines will run AROS, so it doesn't matter what you bought...

Have fun people!!!!  :-D
