What's this about a OS4 Pegasos kit?
« on: June 05, 2003, 02:57:47 AM »
Did I miss something?

Is this just some Fleecy Fluff or is it really something Hyperion is considering? That would be interesting. I'd be curious to see how OS4 would hold up against MOS1.4:-)

Most likely some Bill Buck Fluff actually.

BBRV mentioned it on page 3  in the Amiga Trademark thread.

Now get back to work! We need a "real" Amiga OS for the Pegasos besides 3.X (which we have well over 1000 copies of already still in boxes)! We need that "OS4 Kit" for Pegasos II owners Fleecy has been talking about!!!

Hi Ben, have not seen you here for a while. Hope you are doing well!
[...]
We heard the other day you were thing about moving OS4 to an OpenFirmware standard. Also, had an email that mentioned Fleecy was now talking about an "OS4 Kit" for Pegasos II owners. Sounds like it could be a market for you! Good luck!
Sincerely,
Raquel and Bill

I'm all for Genesi, Amiga, Hyperion, Eyetech, and pheonix, and anybody else who may be involved in any of this community having their products, sharing, or fighting over their products, and contributing in any way they feel.

However, I was wondering if one of the moderators or Wayne or someone would just let me go ahead and invoke the Hitler rule now, so we don't have another 8000 posts arguing about something that does not yet even exist regardless of whether it will or not.

BTW for those of you who have never seen it among other discussion sites, the Hitler rule runs as follows; Arguments may continue on a given topic within a thread until one person compares another to Hitler, at that point, the debate is considered over, and the person who made the comparison is declared WRONG.

I would be more than happy to compare someone or something (everyone and everything?) to Hitler if it would just save me from seeing another thread with 300 people promulgating their opinion like its gospel.

 :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D


Of course, I'm perfectly willing to wait for it to happen, I realize I've posted more on this thread than anyone else so far, so maybe I just need to call myself Hitler and be done with it!  :-P

Only two? ..  :-P

Seriously... I see not much point on discuss product that has not been shown IRL and has no been evaluated by independent people. I know that some people (expecially their markettroid Ben Hermans) have a great belifs that it'll be something revolutionary, but quite frankly.. Not much of a realism there.  

There are hundrets  different OS (+ thousand homemade variations) there, and quite frankly I would be hardly supriced IF they had actually innovated something new and different during their first tumbling at the OS making.

Well.. recorded miracles have happened before. But I'd rather look this OS4 first before entering into too much discussion if it's worth havin or not.

yup, no point in arguing about a piece of software that doesn't exist yet, much less for a board that doesn't exist ( well, at least in known beta testing or commercially available). But, When has that stopped anyone.

Besides, we seem to have much more juciy things to talk about. (rumors, trademarks, auctions, OS 4 Tour, ...)

There is no technical reason why AOS4 can't run on the Pegasos, I'm sure if Genesi get there way it will run on it (They like lots of OS's on their little board).

The only thing stoping AOS4 on the Pegasos is Hyperion, and thier politics.

Mark my words,  a few weeks after AOS4 is released, some clever hacker (the Amiga community used to have lots of these) will get it running on his/her Pegasos...  :-o

I'm sure that if OS4 ran on Pegasos Eyetech would be in dire straits - after all, who'd then buy an A1 at that price?

No. The only thing stoping it is Genesi and their politics. They are free to license it *FROM AMIGA*, not Hyperion. Hyperion doesn't have anything to do with Amiga's licensing politics. So please don't mix up who is doing what.

Yeah, yeah, I've heard that line a few times before. It doesn't make it more legal, though, but who cares about such minor details.

you don't say. they run on practicly the same hardware, even same pci interconnect. i belive the PS1/2 was comparably harder to crack than the A1 will be.
