What's this about a OS4 Pegasos kit?

Good point you have there.
Maybe it's because of the price when resellers are selling, a lot more than what I got it for example.

Too bad. It's called business.

Don't you know that the "good ones" only win in
Hollywood movies?

Like Dave said, I never said that it was a bad thing.  It's normal business practice (From MegaGlobalHyperCorps to market stalls).

Unlike many here I live in the real world.

Well it's a bit confusing because there was also that phoenix deal too.  

One of 2 things have happened. Either dealers haven't been able to sell them as quickly as it has been claimed (i.e. a while back it was more than 'a few" that were left) or there has been a couple of boards left over for whatever reason that  dealers just haven't been able to sell.

Whichever way you look at it, it hasn't sold out.  Some may claim that's due to it not being very popular.  Personally I think that it's probably because people are now waiting for the Peg2 and aren't sure about the (What was apperently impossible on the MAI chipset when it was just the A1 that was available with G4) Upgrade to G4.

Great if this materializes, likewise a MorphOS port to AmigaONE.  Can't wait for the comparisons.

@Uncharted

No more like people probably didn't know t here were any left. Genesi' own webshops and Phoenix all sold out of their allotment. I had no idea any dealers had stock left! That's up to the dealer to promote their stock. :-o ,

Also I bet now that the cats out of the bag, the remaining stock will be gone real quick :-D

Who cares?
AOS4 isn´t even finnished for AmigaOne yet!!
If the question is what amiga OS  you should run ( other than WB3.1) then the answer will always be AROS. I mean all amigaprograms is 68k, WarpOS, PowerUP so then MorphOS or AOS4 doesn´t matter, right?
And for future program they still gonna have to run on 68k or classic PPC if its gonna be easy to port to both MOS/AOS.
AROS on the other hand will run on every kind of hardware so porting isn´t a problemon aros.
What i don´t understand is why there isn´t MorphOS for AmigaOne that shouldn´t be so hard, maybe after the Peg II is launched??

[amigamad]

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).

I hope they do get it running and does morphos still run on the a1 boards i mean the latest version of morphos.

edited by me post made out i was having a go at redrumloa and matt off aros fame

sorry to you both .

 i want both systems to exist side by side. :-D

[Hooligan_DCS]

@Amigamad
Anyone saying MOS will be better than OS4 must be out of his mind. How can anyone say so if there is nothing to compare with.

Quite the reverse, OS4 should be a lot more BETTER than MOS it being based on previous versions and has not got so much rewritten code from scratch, all though of course there is such in OS4 aswell.
My guess is that OS4 will be more complete system, if it's released soon. MorphOS is developing faster and faster each month, getting more and more polished each day. By the end of the year we will have two pretty much similar OS's, both working quite nicely.

Of course I can be wrong. NOTHING is certain in this world we are living in

But why do you now want os4 when previosly morphos users were saying os4 will never be released and it wont be as good as morphos. I just dont understand all  the rubbish in previous threads when your now all sayin you want os4  you could not have posted something this daft one minute morph os is the best os in the world and os4 will never get released and now your all saying you want it. wake me up when you schitzofrenics have taken your tablets or worked out if you want it or not :-?  :-?  :-?  :-?  :-o  :-x

You imply that I'm some kind of MOS guy!!!! Not true, I'm an AROS guy.

But I would like to see both MOS and AOS4 do well.

@amigamad

generalisations, insinuations and insults are not productive.

I have a bet for you. I'll pay  you $100 if you find a post from the past that I said any of the things you mention.

-edit-
ANN has a complete archive. Go back to 2002 on ANN, I was very talkative back then and see what kind of MOS/OS4 stance I had.

Hi!  We will be here for a while doing a few things for tomorrow.  It will not be PegPong, but we will take a few questions and make some observations about what we can read on this thread...

Hi Unchartered...:-)  We did sell out. Perhaps, Gunne overestimated the opportunity in his market.  OK, no problem.  Now, we are going to help him out.  What is the big deal?  Do you understand?

You need to look at this from a larger perspective!

:-D

R&B :-)

@redrumloa


dollars are no good to me in england £100 pound
would be ok. it was not meant as an insult to anybody.I never meant you had said any of those things but other people have made it clear in other threads that os4 is a joke .sorry not acusing you of anything . the way i see it i would like to run morphos on an a1 when it is out .i know it worked a while ago as i submited the link to the website which said it .in an ideal world we should be able to run both operating systems on both systems to get the best of both and of coarse aros would be great as well .i might still get a pegasos later on when morphos is a bit more advanced i know it is getting better and better with each release besides pegasos 2 will be ot later so for know ill wait til then .and at the moment ill wait till i get my amigaone and os4 by then ill have more money for a new system . :-)

please note my previous post has been edited by me . :-)

Hey guys, when you coming over to England? I know you want to meet up and discuss an investment opertunity in a small startup production company  :-D

Well it cant be that much seeing as eyetech could afford it.

Look at the price of the AmigaOne

If all things being equal then yes i would agree with you but they are not.

Yes, they are not equal. Pegasos is a superior board, and Pegasos-2 will be even more superior. I repeat my question - with OS4 on Pegasos, who would buy an expensive, inferior A1?

I guess mostly the name-followers. But no-one wants them anyway, since their collective IQ is in single figures, none of them can code (far less spell), and they all use pirated software anyhow.

That's a bit harsh!!! I want an Amiga 500 again, I don't want it because it has any advantage over modern hardware, I just want one.
For the same reason some people will want an AmigaONE, and regardless of which is the better board, they should be allowed to choose the AmigaONE if they so want.

Indeed so, but I get the feeling some people would buy painted turds if they had the name.

Edit: And the best of luck to people who are buying A1s for logical or personal reasons. But to buy them just because they have the name... it borders on madness. And notice how I changed "only" to "mostly" - it was a wee bit unfair. ;-)
