Pegasos 2...

[phill25]

Does anyone use this hardware at all yet?

It does seem to be a good option for keeping up to date..  Just wondering what people thought about it...

Many thanks..

I wasnt sure..  To me its all new!!

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

I'm interested in purchasing one soon I think.. Might be a good way to get back into Amiga's I think...

Are there future plans for 'higher end graphics cards' etc?  The 9250 in the 'PC' world (I know please dont laugh) doesnt really cut it in any game today, but then I know this is the Amiga and not a PC trying to run Windows XP...

I used to own a top end Amiga 1200, but now I just use a 1200 with a 030 @ 50mhz and 16mbs of ram with a small internal 2.5" hard drive... Its fine for what I use it for, but as always, I want more!!  :crazy:

I read things of the Pegasos 3 coming out or something?

Thanks very much for the help and advice with regards to the Pegasos system..  I'm just in the middle of talking to the gent that builds them through amber-inc and the prices arent all that bad for what you get.

I'm just gonna have to find the cash and the time to get one built and sorted!!  

Although is anyone running a faster graphics card than the ATI 9250 on their system?

[phill25]

So there are other graphics cards that people use other than the ones that they sell with the Pegasos systems then?

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..

Is that an Ebay job again for me?

I'll have a look into it.. I havent bought it yet!!  The car gets sorted first before I get any more computer bits!!  :lol:

It does sound like it is the way forward for Amiga hardware/software..

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

What new games has the Amiga got coming out for it?  Where might I find that out?

[phill25]

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!!

Many thanks

Will later model graphics cards be working at some point?

[phill25]

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