My Pegasos is shipping! Interest in a full review?

[JoannaK]

Please do. I  like to read what other people have found.

I have here some picures of assembling my pega.  I'll need to add couple more pictures cause I have since added Catweasel 3 . Note, there are not yet any screengrabs, cause I have had not adjusted it so that it woud look personal enough.  :-P

Nice setup, good to see the desktop case isn`t dead. (most people use towers)

Well.. it was more like accident, and I'm considering moving it to some more flashy  case later... Like when I upgrade to Pegasos 2.  :-D

Have you installed your catweasel yet? Does morphos have drivers for it?

Yep. It's on PCI slot and 3.5" drive is there too.  So far I have only found Pegasos drivers for Floppy controller, but I have heard rumours that Sidplayer would not be far away anymore.

CW3 Floppy controller works quite nicely,  I have only used it to read various Amiga and PC-HD disks. Only issue ( beta driver) I have found that sometimes it does not seem to recoglize diskchanges as automatically as it should. But it's not a biggie.

Please develop a full report too. OK?! :-D

Ok, but if I may I'll write it first to Finish user club e-magazine (Saku)..

I like Pegasos more each day I use it. It ain't perfect system (yet), but after years of using windowse it's really nice to have something different.

The G4 upgrade will be available on 1 July ....  We will also be offering an incredible software bundle, because we want to have the happiest computer users in the world before the Pegasos II arrives... ;-)

G4 upgrade at July and even more bundles...  What could I say?



As a quick technical update for those interested. Thanks to supportative people at #morphos I got DVI-output to work on my Radeon 9100 graphics card. Now I have digitally connected 1600*1024 (24bit) Ambient screen on my 20" LCD ... Looks really sharp   :-D

Done updating my Pegasos 1 page.. 3 pictures more  of CW and Pega. I also add some commets to those bigger images so it's easier to see what's in there, and of course some funny spelling mistakes..  :-D

Screenshots/captures come sometime later ...  Assuming I don't spend all the time playing games and surfing on net   ;-)

@redfox

Reading Amiga formatted 880k disks is ok, but I have no classic Amiga here so I can't test writing of those disks on my own.

@Ami603
You maths are about as bad as AmigaIncs.. They claim they have 3000 DE developers..  :-D

Another possible solution would be to assume you makig an implication that Friendens are so *lousy* coders that all A1 betatesters are better coder than them. But I surely hope you didn't meant it that way...  :-o
