Funny!

Deliberately quoting people out of context is always hilarious...

I think its strange that Wanye rarely moans about the Gensei cheerleaders coming out & doing exactly what he is complaining about to others on Amiga threads.

Being new to the recent Amiga scene all I can say is that although I am aware to some extent of the schism between Amiga Inc. and Morphos, I have no opinion as to which is better etc.I can see that the only way that an unbiased review could take place is with a 3rd party, a technology magazine perhaps.
A review with both machines running linux would really be the only way until both platforms have completed thier respective OS's.

All that aside, the Amiga community as a whole is too small for this kind of fierce competition, and it would be really nice to see it find a common ground and unite to add to its customer base from other platforms, rather than feeding on itself.

My previous post was more eloquent, but I hope I have gotten my thoughts across adequetely.

Thanks for the update.  Your pictures are very clear and nicely done.   :-D

Are you able to read and write 880K Amiga floppy disk format with this set up?

Nice to you that your breaking your own rules yet again with the name calling.


Come on now Alkemyst! I started this thread and it was going just fine until Amiga Inc's webmaster injected venom into it, and then others jumped on the bandwagon. Put yourself in Wayne's or even my shoes for a moment. There was no reason to poison this thread. There has been nothing anti Hyperion or Eyetech said from either of us. Wayne did not say "Alkemyst you are a cheerleader". But there certainly has been some cheerleading in this thread.
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

Im sure i was the first one to complain about waynes post, but its been removed but the replys to it are still intact.

I would not be in waynes shoes in the first place.
If i thought that i had made a mistake i would fix it fast & not let it run on & on.

cheerleading! i did not see anyone saying things like amiga.inc are great or hyperion rules or anything like that.

It was just ppl trying to put strate about expected ETA of Aos4.

anyway in going out to enjoy me self.

Reading Amiga formatted 880k disks is ok, but I have no classic Amiga here so I can't test writing of those disks on my own.

Nice to see your pictures, a shame that the Radeon 9000 can't be supplied anymore. I have one and my machine is complety silent. (9000 has a heatsink a fan)
If bbrv is on the list, could you supply owners of the Pegasos wo did not recieve that logo of the 'Pegasis horse' and the label Pegasos to us?
I would look nice on my coolermaster desktop!
I already asked Thiery


Bye,

You have to give credit to Bill Buck and Co, he said products would come out and they have.

Hopefully this will continue.

In my opinion. Genesi are providing a quality product, it is compatible with Amiga software, but it is not Amiga. Amiga Incorporated I hope will provide a quality product too.  both the operating systems are nice, and unique. Since they both work with the 'Amiga Classic' software they both belong here.  Even more so than AROS, since it does not yet have compatibility.  Although a fully working version of AROS would be nice, and provides a good starting point for 'Amiga Classic' compatible work. Lets hope these two groups get together. I think that most people who like the Pegasos are prone to liking OS4 too, if it ships. I say if, because until I see it, there is no foolproof guarantee. I believe that Hyperon can pull it off though.  Genesi, admittedly, already have. But lets give them both a fair chance.

How about you go back and change you post to read the same for the other camp as well. Get off your high horse, look in the mirror and take the blame. The reply from hmetal wasnt called for but you posted obvious flame bait. The lack of moderation either way has made this site a farce recently.

@red
Back on topic, yes id love to see a review of the peg, and if you can give a good comprehensive run down of mos features that would be great. Its all about the software these days.

Excuse me??  I didn't inject any venom at all and, I am not again going to express the reason I asked Wayne to quote the source of "months" being an ETA for AmigaOS4 as that is a dead horse.

But, I am not going to sit here while you accuse me of something that I didn't do.

The venom started when you guys overreacted to a simple correction that I made to Wayne's comments.  I responded thereafter to defend myself because you guys flocked to protect Wayne from some mythical "attack."

Besides, if my asking for a concrete source qualifies as "venom," then there isn't a single poster on this site (not to mention ann.lu, the bunny, Amiga's own forums and others) who isn't guilty of that, even in the most innocent of circumstances.  Everyone strives for factualism, don't you?

I invite you to look at the post of a TON of others here who, when the same is done by a member of the "red," the other side comes out in droves, and even whines to moderators to protect their interest and "correct the facts."  I know, I've seen the private mails and let me tell you, what a shake-up I could generate if I didn't have morals.

The difference between me and the other guys is , I'm not about to do it behind closed doors.  I'd rather be up front about it.  If that makes me a bad guy, I'll accept it, as it is my opinion that honesty beats the closed door, in-email, back-stabbing, private crap that goes on between and regarding members of this "community."

P.S. I'm not just the Amiga "webmaster" just in case you didn't know.  :-)

..and that's the last I'm going to say about this nonsense, unless you'd like to continue trashing a topic which IMO deserves more respect?

So, can we go back to benchmarking and comparison now?

Oh. By the way, I would love to see Wayne do an impartial comparison of both, once he has both.  Make no mistakes about that.

HMetal

can you tell us the status of  for AOS4?... if so can you 'hint'?...

and once again concerning AOS4... I think (this is my opinon) that we as a whole need to listen solely to what the 'makers' of the product have to say...as Hyperion hasnt as of yet told anything but the truth...and hasnt broken any promises... so far they've not shown themselves to be amatures or idiots....and I think if we all just step back and take the word from the horses mouth and stop listening to third parties this might make the whole MOS/AOS4 thing a bit less hostile...

I know it's easy for people like me  to slag AOS4/A1/etc when you look at them as bieng 'Amiga.inc' products(this is also all my opinon)... but  if you take away the Amiga.inc factor AOS4 dosent seem to be in such a bad situation... I mean sure it might take a little longer to come out...but I think Hyperion seems reasonable and it's not that far of a stretch to see AOS4 running on Pegasos (legally) someday or at least running on A1's with very similer price/specs...... who knows... AOS4 might come out and be a halfway decent product...


P.S I'm not slamming MorphOS nor AmigaOS nor Hyperion nor any people individually... I'm not even slamming A.inc just saying that I think AOS4/AmigaOne need to be approached without thinking of them purely as Amiga.inc products... I'm just stating a pure opinon on the subject...and how I think we need to approach it... stop thinking Amiga.inc when you think AmigaOne... think Eyetech and Hyperion...  and somehow (for me) the fuzz clears away a bit...
