The Pegasos II seems to be the better system, and cheaper! However, I have a question reguarding MorphOS. Does MorphOS support Amiga games, and applications?

Thanks! :-D

Most should run.  It comes down to if the developer programmed by using the OS API or banging the hardware.  So highly-optimized games and demos that push the hardware probably won't work, but those are increasingly rare as with OS 3.0 and later there was no need to bang the hardware to get the performance out of the machine.

Can anything actually use them yet? If not, they're under the same classification as the A1's onboard sound; IE there but not very useful.


I use the Firewire on my Pegasos every so often.  (having a firewire-based camera does that ya know)  Works great for Debian.

"but nothing compare to the ArticiaS 's hell. "
I still wonder why A1 supports non registered memory in both banks and pegasos1 not. And that leads me to think that it's incorrectly initialized due to lack of documentation.

Hrm?  This is news, as I'm running 2 banks of unregistered RAM here.
