AMUSE = AMiga Users Society Eastside

----- Edit -----

Nothing about the name on their old site

Does anyone know if they have a new one?

[Xand]

It would be really nice if they would do a demo in Western NY too (like in Rochester). Driving down to NYC & back is a bit of a pain. I'd rather drive to Boston.

Good job Russ
 Lou and I will try to make it for your demo. Will you let the users try out OS4? Is most of the system still 68k emulated or has Hyperion ported more PPC modules?  i'm looking forward to seeing it in person...

@Darth
 I demoed a Pegasos MOS 1.3 at this meeting back in April  :-D

[Lando]

@Magnetic:

Is there any chance you could take your video camera to this OS4 demonstrations and take some movies like you did for the Pegasos demo?

I'm  interested in seeing OS4 in action -  running some applications, playing MP3's while running FXPaint, and so on. Just something so we can see how snappy it is, how well it copes with multi-tasking, compatibility and so on.

Thanks!

The entire system is run using the PPC in 68k emulation.
While Almost all of the modules while having been ported to C for PPC recompilation. They have currently been compiled in 68K for rigarous testing of the 68k emulator. AOS4 features both interpretive and JIT emulation. I installed it over a 3.9 system. IDE thru emulation takes a heck of a performance hit but the rest of the system seems to perform okay Using a 200 mhz 604 and a PicassoIV graphics card. Would like to see how it performs using PPC libraries instead of emulated 68K. Sigh Maybe next month after they finish testing the emulator.

Hope to see you there Tom.

While I would like to demo a Pegasos system in the future. They currently are not available to purchase and beside I talked to Bill Buck at Amiwest. He said that Tom Morris is the Official Pegasos dealer and I can't become one here.

Before people attack me That statement is by no means a Put down of Tom or Genesi.
All I am saying is that I don't own a Pegasos and can't currently buy one now, and Seeing as how I can't become a dealer. I have no knowledge on delivery or specs of the next gen Pegasos or Retail pricing. So if you want a demo of a Pegasos system in new york you have to contact Tom.

AOS4 features both interpretive and JIT emulation.

Do you mean that they've got the JIT going?  That would be great news :-)

@KurtGrach
    I have been demoing Pegasos and Morphos since APRIL. I also have written a complete review of Pegasos that was finished 2 months ago. Our website has the full review and downloadable MPEG videos of Pegasos running Morphos 1.3, Debian Linux, and Mac On Linux.  Please go to our site:
www.magneticsystems.com for more info!
   I did a demonstration of the PEG in late April early May at the very same place you are doing your demo! (NYU)  I have been doing demos privately and publically for MONTHS. You had NO interest in seeing the Pegasos in action, but now that I see you do I will put you on my mailing list and inform you of the next showing.
  NYCPUG (New York City Pegasos User Group) and Magnetic s will be announcing a public demonstration of the New MorphOS 1.4 Operating System, The Superbundle Software Package of NATIVE MorphOS apps such as Pro Station Audio and FX PAINT, as well as classic Amiga programs running Flawlessly on the Pegasos and Morphos... such as Image Fx, Amiga Amp, Photogenics, Pagestream, MOS MAME and more! That would be a good time for you to see how much power the PEG and MOS have!  Kurt:I'm glad you see the light
of the Pegasos in flight!
:-D

  I would love to see the Beta of OS4 you have, as I've only seen pics online of it. I am surprised its still in the 68k state. I thought it was going to be done by October..... what has improved since Euro Road Show? What Amigas apps run on it?You say there is a JIT 68k emu but Hyperion themselves said it is not running yet.  Why on earth are you running a Cyberstorm with the IDE controller? Doesn't OS4 support the UWSCSI of the CYPPC? Its a great controller and no one in their right mind would want to run off the old and slow IDE on the 4000....
   I wish you luck with your demo and I hope to be there to see it for myself. However, I'm in Cape Cod and may not be back to NYC in time. Lou Vidal of QAUG mayb e there to tape it..
   Kurt, If you or anyone elese in the area, or country for that matter, want a Pegasos Board or System or Systems we can provide it. We will be stocking Pegasos2 boards and turn key setups!!  How many would you like?
** Pegasos 1 boards are available NOW if you want one but ACT FAST!
