My MorphOS and PegasosII experience

[JKD]

Non-cooperation of a Master drive on an IDE bus is typically the fault of the drive's firmware in my experience. (Speaking as someone who QA and integration tested an awful lot of different manufacturers drives.)

That said, there is/was a bug in the Peg firmware, very similar to the 'reset race condition' on the regular Amiga...symptom is that it will not boot from a hard reset (cold boot) but will from a soft boot. Did firmware 1.1 fix this bug.....have no idea, will find out once I receive my PegII!

Unless his friends machine has the exact same hardrive (or one from the same family) as he does then it's not comparable.

Given that you have a pre-april pegasos, I would stay with as few devices as possible...adding more would increase the probability of seeing a problem.

Backup your hard drive(s)..sell your machine and don't look back.

The emotional relief of detaching myself from that ancient hardware (well CSPPC/CVPPC and A4000) was almost physical!

Awaiting my Peg II with great anticipation.

I ran all my old Amiga apps, keyfiles and all on my Peg I...no problems  :-D

Well...I guess I read on a forum that Olaf is trying to find a distributor (for Roadshow) and if he can't get an agreement he likes that he might even do it himself.

Sounds reasonably ready to me....I should try to find the link but I really can;t be arsed!  :-D
