Compare and contrast Mos 2 nd AOS 4?

@spihunter:

I've hit the "30" minute timeout about 4x in a row.  During those 29.x minute sessions I havent experienced whatever is going wrong.  Of course, I dont use Sputnik either.  I VNC into my linux box to use a browser and FTP the files to my EFIKA.  The bugs are being worked on.   Cant wait for the patch and also the sound support

Well, i've got a Peg and an AmigaOne. The peg ended up in the loft and the AmigaOne gets used every day, so i guess I found OS4 to be nicer :-)

Ideally, both should be readily available on reasonably priced hardware so people could make up their minds from having both in their hands. Life hasn't worked out that way, though, which really sucks.

Is your Peg a 1 or a 2?  If a 2, is it a G4 1gHz, or slower?  What CPU and speed is your AmigaOne?

I know that there were lots more problems with the Peg1's compared to the Peg2's and also wondered if your AmigaOne was comparable to your Peg with the same CPU and clock speed?

If not, then it isn't a fair comparison.  Do you think your Peg would be in the attic collecting dust if it had the same hardware spec as your AmigaOne?

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the AmigaOne and AmigaOS4.x.  I am glad that you have a good working AmigaOne and that it works well for you in your everyday use.  I am hoping that I will someday be able to say the same thing about using either an AOS4.x, or MOS2.x machine of my own.  I would much rather use one of those two Amiga-Like choices than my PC tower, or Mac laptop.

Maybe its time for me to start swapping out different keyboard/mouse/USB hubs on my Efika to see if I can get it more stable?

I'm also noticing that some of my crashes are not random. Ex: when I open up the prefs window in Showgirls it will bring the whole system down everytime if I hit the cancel button.

weird huh?

Its a Pegasos 1 April 2, 600Mhz G3, Radeon 9200. The AmigaOne is an XE-G4, 800Mhz G4, Radeon 7500.

MorphOS was not sluggish or buggy on the peg; in fact it runs really rather well. I just prefer OS4.

If not, then it isn't a fair comparison.  Do you think your Peg would be in the attic collecting dust if it had the same hardware spec as your AmigaOne?

Probably. I do intend to try out MOS2.0 at some point, though, but i'll have to get a new gfx card for the peg because i put the 9200 into a PC. I'm thinking of getting a 9250 for the AmigaOne, and if i do, the 7500 can go in the peg.

(btw, the only reason i put the 9200 straight into a PC rather than into the A1, was that the 7500 has DVI out while the 9200 card doesn't).

It's worth a try, especially if you have a bunch of keyboards lying around like I do...

That is weird. Have you reported the bug? Usually when I have a bug like that in something I've written it's a matter of me having done something boneheaded but easily fixed.  :crazy:
