An Amiga is an Amiga but an AmigaOne is a TeronCX, a board which is very similar to the Pegasos and shares the same number of similarities to the original Amiga - absolutely none.

So saying that Pegasos isn't an Amiga while TeronCX is just because Amiga Inc (who don't exist any more) say so, is rather ridiculous.

But I'd just have had this little comment moderated if I was on AWN. Can't disrupt the harmony of the collective with cold facts, can we?

The pegasos is mentioned many times in the thread with out any trolling but for the one post that you made.

BTW the main focus of Amigaworld.net is  next gen amiga branded hardware and OS.

And what do you guys think would be different if AW.net didn't delete pegasos postings (which I dont believe is true)? Do you think every aw.net user would go crazy and say "yeah w000t w000t pegasos morphos r0XX0rw w00t w00t" and go directly to the gensini site to buy a board which isn't even available at the moment? I think the problem is that some morphos users think that everyone who isn't interestet in pegasos/morphos hates it or is anti genesi or a red troll etc.. But the truth is there's a lot of people out there that simply don't care about pegasos or morphos.. and not because they are red trolls but because they just don't give a **** about some small company named genisi and its products..

Yeah AmigaWorld.net is more like morphzone. It's just too old to be called OS3/4 Zone . Meh, who really cares.

[iamaboringperson]

In other words, the 'reasons' are more emotional than anything else. Yes?

[jeffimix]

By the way, your choice sux, mine rox.


Happens everywhere, all the time, don't it.

The difference between Pegasos and Amigaone is that amigaone is licensed by Amiga inc, which owns the Amiga brand.. Since they own the brand, they can slap on the Amiga name on a x86 if they wanted too...
I agree that boards are quite similar, but whoever owns the brand name, is the one who decide which one is the real amiga..

Have missed something lately?? Has Amiga Inc gone out of business or something?

Strangely enough I don't care a **** about even smaller companies/ex-companies called Amiga Inc, Eyetech, or Hyperion. It doesn't mean I want to go to a site where any positive mention of them is removed using some lame excuse such as 'off topic' or 'trolling or flame baiting'. I think I'm better off not living in an anti-reality bubble created by obviously biased moderation, where I know so little about other options I can't even spell them properly.

So an x86 box would be a 'real Amiga' if a particular company put it's logo on it, and said 'there, it's an Amiga'.

That still doesn't explain why the Pegasos is not related.

Heh, were they ever in business?

These days they don't exist because, apparently, they've been 'bought over' by KMOS Inc, who now own the IPs, which are, by the way, still legally contested.

I don't see why I should realign by whole Amiga experience to what I see as poorer hardware and software just because a company who lie and cheat and con 'might' own the name.

No, the reason is: Why should I spend money to buy a microatx board named "pegasos" which runs an operating system called "morphos" whose greatest feature is that it can run a few programs that my A4000 also runs? It simply is not attractive to me.. what about the promised morphos qbox which should have made it far superior and unique and not just another amigaos clone? And even genesi are now trying to survive by focussing on linux/bsd..

Yes! If the owner of the amiga brand does that, then yes it is a real amiga, wether we like it or not..
I personally think that the classic hardware design"custom chipset" is what made amiga special though..

neither pegasos or amigaone seems very appealing to me now.. AmigaOS is great and all, but without the custom chipset it is just not very appealing in my eyes.

[redrumloa]

I'm not getting sucked into this thread, but..

which runs an operating system called "morphos" whose greatest feature is that it can run a few programs that my A4000 also runs?

I don't know about "a few", my Pegasos runs everything I have ever tried to run on it right out of the box. No need to recompile, it's binary compatible. Pretty impressive, really.

-edit-
Ok, ok.. i shouldn't have said everything, I did try to run some really odd old software even though I had a feeling it might try to bang the hardware, and it did. Everything that i expected to work did:-)
