@Piru

Very good points!

More AmigaONE hardware was built around new revision of the Articia chipset, which was again claimed to be "bug free". But it wasn't.

AFAIK, the last few Pegasos1's had the A660BNGE revision (the "fixed" revision) of the Articia S, and a handful of them was even sold in a G4 bundle, but indeed there were still issues.
MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)

Could be, but I bet that was only because those were the only chips available. To my knowledge it was very hard to get any chips from Mai Logic. In fact, on occasion external third party had to step in before the already paid chips were delivered.

Yep, and I think it was only about 24 chips or so in that last delivery that had that revision number. But it was enough for bplan to make the conclusion that the "fixed" revision was still bug ridden. Anyway, I completely agree with you that you can't really compare the A1 (*any* version) with a Pegasos 1 when it comes to stability and quality. Those boards played in completely different leagues even.

I've heard of only one somewhat working Pegasos1 with a G4 (I actually demoed it at assembly 2003):

I don't know why, but the number "5" pops up in my mind regarding this. Anyway, I know of at least one other Peg1 G4; Ironfist had one, and AFAIK the site "pegasos.org" was hosted on it for a while. But yeah, I guess you *can* dismiss the Pegasos 1 G4 as some experimental/evaluation thing...
