Pegasos replacement for my MicroA1
« on: June 04, 2006, 10:30:59 PM »
Since my MicroA1 died after just 3 days I've been searching for a replacement to be used for Amiga development and I'm now considering to buy a Pegasos G3 600MHz.

I want to start porting my 3D FPS game NoLife using TinyGL and wonder if this pegasos with a 7500 will work with 3D stuff?

The plan is to use GCC with TinyGL which should make the game easily portable to AmigaOS4 when/if I can get my hands on some new OS4 compatible hw.

When it comes to Hyperion I think they have done a great job with OS4. It feels more modern than ever and I enjoyed it the 3 days my MicroA1 worked. The only missing software needed is a descent web browser. The few available is just rubish.

If they didn't have a monopoly when it came to the OS we would have several versions of the AmigaOS and what good would that do us if 20% used that OS and 20% a different OS and so on.

When it comes to HW I don't care about the warranty. I just wish there was available HW for me to buy when it breaks down.

How is hardware availability on new pegasos systems btw?

Surely you can get your A1 replaced under the warranty terms?


"I bought it used on a web auction."

Thanks to the wonderful trio they (might) have lost an OS4 user/potential developer to the competition.



They haven't lost anything... If there ever will be new hardware available I will buy it...

I might buy a peg while waiting for amiga hw to be available, time will tell... :)

I wish they could just port AmigaOS to x86 and be done with it. We would never have HW problems again as long as the OS was in continueues development...

How the heck do you write continueueueueues :)

A Radeon7500 is the best card you can use in a Peg1.

That just changed with the MorphOS 3D update 2. Pegasos 1 can now use the same cards as Pegasos 2.
read all about it


Thanks for the info Piru :)
