My MorphOS and PegasosII experience

[Damion]

Seems like not many people have awfully lot bad words about Pegasos/MorphOS .. at least I haven't met many people saying so.

Personally I see it as the epitome of what the "amigascene" has been for
the last 10 years or so...definately not at all practical, and there are many
things lacking as opposed to mainstream platforms, but you can't beat the fun-factor.

Yes, Miami, MiamiDx & AmiTCP/Genesis all work, even the 68k version of Roadshow has been reported to work. A PPC native stack based on AmiTCP is expected to be included in MorphOS 1.5.

For the life of me I cant understand why they wont release the Roadshow stack for us 68k users. They authorspent so much time on it. You would think he would want to sell it to 68k users.

The Peg II at 600MHZ is worth it? Would the 1GHZ be a waste? I am thinking of getting the fater one, but need to save up. Whats the best video card to use?

Maybe it's not in a condition to be released for the public, yet.

Well it looks like I have a buyer for my A3000 and I'll have $800 to get the PEg II G4, a ATX case, Video card (which should I get?), keyboard, and mouse. I have a USB keyboard and mouse, can I use them on the Peg II?

If i were you id go for a Radeon! 7500 to 9200! or you could find a Voodoo3/5 card! the USB mouse and key should work just fine! im using a optical microsoft USB mouse myself .

I have a AGP 9200 here!! Will that work well? I have the MS optical too just sitting. Awsome. All I need is a case then.

Yes. Both 9200 and 9200SE will work with MorphOS.

Well...I guess I read on a forum that Olaf is trying to find a distributor (for Roadshow) and if he can't get an agreement he likes that he might even do it himself.

Sounds reasonably ready to me....I should try to find the link but I really can;t be arsed!  :-D
