Plus if they would enter into the license agreement, they would be required to cough up all hardware and firmware specifications in order for OS 4 to happen.


Do you mean the ZICO specs?

We will determine whether or not it is economically feasible to undertake support of a given platform and a manufacturer might or might not want to induce us by guaranteeing a minimum number of sold copies.


What is the "minimum number of sold copies" required for a platform to have OS4?

@anyone

Why, BTW, are so many people clamouring for OS4 to be released on a Pegasos? Surely, if MOS is so good, another "technically inferior" OS would not be needed? Or are the 'powers that be' who are central to the marketing the MOS/Pegasos efforts, worried that that it's their product that will be shown to be the technically inferior one?

Just a passing thought................

IMO It has little to do with the superiority/inferiority of MOS versus OS4. On the Pegasos you can use pretty many operating systems, not only MOS.

I never pondered over how superior/inferior MOS vs Linux vs MacOS vs anything. All have their weaknesses and strong sides as well.

I use MorphOS as it is nice and fast. Sometimes when I find some anim files with extreme weird codecs I go to linux, and use mplayer. Need applications as Lightwave, Photoshop, Dreamweaver? MacOS is the choice.

I'd like to have OS4 as part of the collection. Not as an exclusive/have it at all costs operating system, but like the many others. I'd gladly pay for it even a reasonable price.  And I bet many Pegasos users will agree with me.

It's not about OS4 is so fantastic, I will instantly drop MOS away for it's sake. I plan to use all for what they do best. Just as I bet many AmigaONE users, who got used to Linux will time to time boot into linux to do things in which Linux is better. Will it mean that Linux is superior to OS4 in all areas? I doubt that.

Mind you, a new conspiracy theory forms in my head.

Is it possible that those favoured the Imperial side in Star Wars went for the Pegasos, and those who favoured the Rebels for OS4? :-)

I must confess I was a fan of Darth Vader :-)
