Pegasos to go on sale Monday / Pegasos II to ship September 2003

[KennyR]

And who will laugh last?

Judging by the progress of A1, OS4, MOS and Pegasos, I think Bill Gates.

I hope we will be able to laugh together in the last end ;-)

I hope all well for "AmigaOne+Amiga4.x" and "Pegasos+MorphOS" ... I want the Amiga, but still it would nice to see the future of "Pegasos+MorphOS" :-D

"All Betatester boards will be exchanged with the first priority.
Note: Please contact Genesi directly to get your replacement board with April chipset (if you haven't done so far)."

This would come out of that 300, so if there are any left over then the userbase can expand with new users.

Most of the boards have already been exchanged.  
So no real problem. The 300 boards might however
be sold out very quickly though. However waiting
for the Pegasos II with the better specs is worth
waiting.

More waiting and waiting, is that all you Amiga companies do is make potential customers wait like crazy?

Strike while the iron is hot.

[Skyraker]

Ho ho ho.....  :-P

I reckon we'll see OS4 before any more pegs ship, can anyone be trusted in this market?

[takemehomegrandma]

Wow, this was an interesting twist!  :-)

I am glad to have a Pegasos secured in my home! :-D
Looks like there might be a shortage for a while ...

@Indoro

If you read it ... Will Merlancia still use Pegasus boards for their comming computers??? Will you wait, or will you switch to the MAI/Eyetech solution? Or maybe another solution :-?

Yeah, you'd think they were trying to get rid of all their users. Maybe it's a plot to sell all these Amigans PCs.

@ hnl_dk

We the AmigaOS 4.x fanatics (them who has the money) might get dual G4 in some weeks ...

Well, let's hope so! But we do not know much about the reasons to this twist. Is it MAI/Articia-related? In that case the A1 could suffer too (but let's hope not). Or is this upgraded HW only a way of getting further ahead of the competition?

The MorphOS fanatics might be lucky to get single G4 in some month

And tripple gigabit ethernet, and DDR (and who knows what else? AGP4x? AGP8x?).

hnl_dk, I really hope that you will have your dual G4's and that you can use OS4 on that as soon as possible! You guys have really waited a long time now! In the meantime I will sit here and enjoy MorphOS as it evolves!

This was a real surprize, and I have quite mixed feelings about it. I guess I haven't had the time to think about it yet. But at least I know what I have. And I like it. No waiting for me! And when the time comes, I will decide if I will upgrade or not ...

Good;

Peg-II will come this year.
Peg-I trade in.  

Bad;

No G4 for Peg-I...
No more then +/- 600 (Is this the correct figure ?)Pegasos users before Augus or /September 2003.

Either way, just as bad or good as the Amiga-One/OS4 situation as far as I'm concerned.

[JoannaK]

Trying to get some sanity in this .... there must have appeared a new Northbridge to build pegasos2.

Well.. That's one advance Genesi has, they can move to another supplier if one can't deliver. It's no secret they have been looking for alternativies some time. I assume they have found one, cause that does not sound like any chip Mai has on their production lineup.

Well... time will tell.

Predicting the future is allways difficult. So we'll see what will happen. And in what order products do appear into market  :-D

[Desler]

Not to fry anyone, but wont 300 pegasos saturate the morphos marked for a couple of months? Its my understanding that eventhough the morphos fans are somehow diehard they are few in numbers (Like the rest of the community)

@JoannaK
Here's some discussion about it.

( .... ooops...snip ... there might still be NDA on that ...)

[MarkTime]

How can anyone put a positive spin on this?!?

I can't.

To all my new friends in the morphOS community....I won't be joining you for a while....don't feel like taking a chance....its just too costly and too speculative.

But I still wish you well, and if you ever get that Mac version running, I'm there with ya....

[ksk]

btw. Is the G3 peg1 as overclocable as A1SE?
733Mhz via dip switches... or better?


( A  little bit relevant, and this should be interesting to read for both peg and A1 fans: Powerlogix's PDF, information about DDR and SDR & L3 cache)
