The only thing Genesi has to do is sign some NDAs and contracts, respect them, fund the OS4 port to the PegasosII and pay the licenses. But instead of making so much noise they should be talking with Amiga Inc directly.

Come on Genesi! you have $$$, that's a good investment for your platform...

But only make noise when you have come to an agreement. No one should buy a Pegasos II expecting OS4, because given the current relationship between Genesi and Amiga Inc, there are many chances of Os4 not seeing the light in the Pegasos platform...

Come on BBRV! come here and state publicly that no one should buy a Pegasos II expecting OS4 to be released as nothing has been signed yet. It would be very kind of you and would help the community a lot.

I'm probably more informed than you may think ;-)

Send a mail to GGS Data. They have Pegasos 1 in stock. This also qualifies you for the €200 Pegasos2+G4 upgrade.


with only 600 users (many of them only want MorphOS and don't want OS4) I don't think it worths the effort and money. They are too busy supporting Cyberstorms and Ones to waste time in such a tiny platform. The Pegasos II is much more interesting because it will sell in large quantities.

@Madgun68
[floppy and firewire drivers]
I only wanted to show you that total support of  Pegasos1 isn't a priority even for Genesi.
If hypotetically OS4 was going to be released for the Genesi machines I would find more interesting to support the Pegasos2 because it's going to be produced in higher quantities and writing drivers fora new board needs quite a lot of time. Users of Pegasos I can upgrade to Pegasos2 if they want, so it makes more sense for me to support a machine that is going to be produced in thousands of units and has a future than a machine no longer produced with only 600 users that can upgrade to the new machine... of course this is blah blah because it's all hypotetic, but I only wanted to show you why I would support first Pegasos2 rather than Peggy1.
