I am almost interested in purchasing a Pegasos MB.

Sigh.. Almost is not good enough...

Huh ? Remeber that it was a long time ago when you ordered your board,


Yes it was, but remember I *chose* not to get mine until the new firmware was completed. The same price will be honored when I get it real soon(for real this time).

and that you won't get an OS with it (Linux doesn't count).


Huh? Well as for the end user version, no. But that will not cost alot and I will get a discount:-D BTW Thendic has not promised free MOS to betatesters, only beta versions. Not much different IMO.

and the latest prices from are Eyetech are also 500$/Euro for the SE


Don't be surprised if this goes down some. Also all I see is this:

Fact: Eyetech sold bare A1 motherboards to 'betatesters/developers' for $450 with no end user OS.

Fact: Thendic are now claiming to sell bare Pegasos boards to betatesters/developers for $500 with no end user OS.

Fact:Eyetech is extremely late delivering remaining developer/end user boards.

Fact:Thendic are also late.

Fact:Pegasos boards are made at the DCE manufacturing plant.

Fact:A1 boards are made in the far east.

Fact: -edit-  ;-)

Wasn't it the assembly line that used to belong to P5?
Thought DCE _bought_ it along with the rights to diffrent P5 hardware designs?

Now it's suddenly owned by ex- P5 people again... I'm confused  


I always speculated that transaction was just to shelter the equipment from creditors.

About 50 external testers have a pegasos right now.


I thought Thendic claimed it was over 120?
