OK I'll try and answer what I can but I'm not party to everything thats going on and on some fronts final decisions have yet to be taken.
- Does the MorphOS (that is currently being shipped to pegasos buyers) contain all those features/items that are mentioned in the featurelist (exluding those that are said to be in development in the featurelist)?
(I think it should, if you guys sell it with pegasos and refer to the featurelist. Or you should update your website accordingly (IMHO).)
- People seem to have got BT2 package until now, when will the 1.0 (or the next version) ship?
(a little while ago it was said at pegasosppc.com that BETATESTER version is not good enough for end users)
As I said the features list is what we're working towards and what you'll get, but maybe not quite right now. MorphOS is at this point aimed at more advanced users who have a reasonable idea of what they're doing.
- How about CSPPC and BPPC owners. Will they be able to get MorphOS1.0 as a stand alone installation (not needing to buy things like smart card reader with it)?
- If so, will it happen during this year?
- And will CSPPC/BPPC+Mediator users be supported?
We do plan to ship MorphOS for CVPPC and BPPC but there are problems with some cards which may never be solved simply due to time and resources. This is a potential support nightmare and is the explanation why nothing beyond an old beta has ever been released for those cards.
Mediator - No plans at this minute, highly unlikely to change.
- Does the basic A1 mean the TeronCX or a AmigaOneSE with the special ROM?
- Do you plan to release stand alone MorphOS1.0 for A1 boards?
- If so, will it happen during this year?
- Do you plan to release stand alone MorphOS1.0 for TeronCX/PX boards?
- If so, will it happen during this year?
I don't think a final decision has been made on support for either the A1 or the Teron Boards but given the problems we've had with the Articia on our own board it's debatable if we could get MorphOS to work properly on other systems without the same hardware fixes. But as I said there's yet to be a final decision.
- Genesi seems to be planning to do a lot of things at the same time (PDA, CPU cards, Pegasos2, STB, server and traditional Thendic products). Most need a totally new HW and a lot of new SW. How are you going to manage to handle the huge R&D work amount?
(I wish you would not promise things that are unrealistic, see what AI did and pissed off the community.)
Ever wondered why we are hiring ;-)
There is a lot to do and it needs very careful management to keep on track. That's why we've brought in an experienced management team from Crossbee.
Don't expect everything to appear at once...
- Are you going to get your numerous web pages updated anytime soon? For example the pegasos information at your eclipsis pages are highly missleading, currently.
Yes, a whole new web structure is being developed.
Why do you think the Eclipsis pages are misleading?
Other questions:
Q-Box: Don't hold your breath.
SMP: Needs Q-Box.
CPUs: This is sometimes beyond our control e.g? A CPU we wanted to use for one project was recently delayed. Also some CPU suppliers tend to be vague at the best of times.
Features list:
Better Explanations - It's just a features list, not a book, do you want the team to be producing the features or just writing about them?
Some things may be implemented and used in the system but not available to developers and/or users, these are features but there's little point elaborating further.
To all other questions the answer is one of:
A) I'm not sure,
B) I don't know,
C) I do know and I'm not telling you ;-)
Hope this Helps.
