Hehe I started reading the question I wrote and thinking "This looks familiar!" :lol:
@meerschaum
you act as though pegasos is 'done' ... as a board... sure the Peg1 is done...but Peg2 is comming out this year ...and will definitly be superior to the A1 in its current iteration... it would be wise to get OS4 onto superior hardware.
I personally dont care about OS4 now... and wouldnt want the name Amiga on my board/os/etc when I buy my Pegasos...
Firstly there are only are 600 (+plus internal Genesi) boards in existance, and there is no-way of knowing 100% for certain whether the Peg2 will ever be produced in quantity until it is physically available.
Secondly you are answering your own question about why there would be a limited market on Peg - Many users would not be interested on PAYING for OS4. MOS has been forming it's own identity (as far as it can in it's present state), and many users would never have anything to do with Amiga again (like yourself)
Finally the whole issue isn't totally transparent as people make out (I still maintain that the question is unfair).
From what has been said so far, it seems that Licenesing goes through Amiga inc, rather than Hyperion licencing each port themselves, so it is out of thier hands, and up to Amiga Inc. (Never gonna happen).
