Hey Wilse,

I always have about a hundred projects going. So the day my Pegasos showed up I took it to a local box-stuffer, spent a few minutes on the [heavy discount] sales floor picking components, and handed them the Pegasos and the MB diagram that came with it. The assembled machine was out the door 50 minutes after that - they even verified that it was booting to the Open Firmware. The assembly only cost me 30 Simolians above the component costs. And while they were stuffing I managed to get another errand done downtown (if you can really call the Montana stix "downtown").

They were also extremely interested in the machine and asked scads of questions - especially when I insisted that I didn't need any extra cooling junk for it! They admired the clean design, dug the fact that it had its own custom OS and could also run Linux, and soon a bunch of others. All in all, a very satisfactory experience!

So let your fingers do the walking :  }

...After that it was easy-peasy to format the drive and install MorphOS from the CD. Minutes after reading the doc on MorphOS-news.de I was in business and digging the main hard drive out of my beat and sinking, stuffed-to-the-gills-with-goodies Amiga 2000, and playing around with some of the software on it after changing a couple things in DOpus Magellan.
