Hello DaveP,

...and doesn't have AGP and is sans a PCI slot...
Did I misread the stuff about this in the Announcement concerning the Genesi/Phoenix collaboration news item? :-?

(the 25th comment :-))
Ok, I'm not a very technical guy (except for making my webslingers :-D), so It is possible I misread something.

To dweebgeek,

I just bought a Pegasos and my personal advice to you is:
When you are willing to wait for OS4 (yes, the software), then wait for it because it will be worth the wait!
When you want to do something Amiga-ish as soon as possible, then look for a Pegasos with MorphOS.
As known to a lot of people, with this you can run Amiga software recent software, but the future direction will not be the same as OS4 (well, I didn't read anything solid in this direction)

Oh, ofcourse you can buy a peecee or Mac and go on emulating an Amiga?? :-)

Hello DaveP,

A lot is said on this subject since my post earlier today. But to answer your question:

I've got the Peg1 here (I'm writing this mail on it with IBrowse2.3reg :-))
This board is the same as the pictures circulating on the net, so it has PCI and a AGP slot.
My confusion was just about the Peg2 board. I read only the comments on Amiga.Org so I dropped my confusion here, that's it.

I'm not a guy who wants to speculate about stuff (though it's fun to read it :-D).
I could say that Genesi are making stuff behind curtains, but I don't know it for sure, I've just heard it. Or I could discuss the betatesting of OS4 at this moment. I just don't know how much is integrated in the Exec, so I stay away from saying something about that part too.

When it comes, people will evaluate it and then we can compare these two systems in speed and performance.
That is what I think about this whole stuff.

There is only one thing I feel I'm cheated with and that's the 50 Euro coupon deal.
The day I decided to pay for it, I heared and read that the A1 was about to be released and that day was 07 july 2002!! Until now I didn't get anything from Amiga Inc. the only guys I will support are Hyperion. I'll buy OS4 and that's it.

Thanks everyone, A1 it is!


I'm glad you were able to make a decission in this hectic thread! :-D
As I said before: the wait for OS4 will be worthwhile! :-)
(I have good faith in Hyperion for this!)

In weanwhile: why don't  you start collecting PPC software for your new system?! :-D
(Aminet, dealers, etc.)
