Amiga: Pegasus

[DoctorClu]

   Heard about a new Amiga clone referred to as the Pegasus.  Where can I find out more about this?

I think you mean the Pegasos.  But it is hardly new, it was released late last year, and has already had a major revision, switching to DDR-RAM over sDRAM, adding gigabit ethernet, etc.

I would have said that MophOS, the pegasos's flagship Operating System was the Amiga clone. The pegasos is more of a modern PPC archetecture.

There are 3 interesting project:
1-AmigaOne the official new Amiga capable to rune the newest AmigaOS (version 4.0, ppc antive), the only official solution.
2-Pegasos, an Amiga inspired computer taht runs MorphOS with highly 3.x amiga campatibility, fast and prosmising os.
3-There is also a ColdFire project, an accelerator card (ColdFusion) that add to the Classic Amiga (the old models) a Motorola ColdFire processor (the 68k evolution), and can accellerate the classic software a lot.

4- AROS, a multiplatform AmigaOS Clone. Currently quite advanced on the x86 (ie a normal PC). AROS is also being ported to the Pegasos.

hi guys,

thanks for that AROS link, i hadnt actually looked at AROS at all yet.

Looking at it, seems cool. Running AROS and UAE on a big Pentium PC, is that the equivalent of a PPC Amiga with a kickass graphics card?

is UAE on AROS faster than UAE on Windows? not sure whether its worth running AROS and UAE or Windows and UAE to create a compatible amiga clone. any advice guys? cheers

current set up aiming for:
1200 68040 (hoping for a PPC replacement)
Pegasos (wanted to run iFusion PPC but hear its not compatible with the Pegasos)
PC Amiga Emulated system

Not quite, since no version of UAE has PPC emulation. You might get PPC-like speeds, however. And native x86 AROS apps will fly on a modern PC.

is UAE on AROS faster than UAE on Windows?

Probably, since there are lower overheads involved in running AROS than, say XP.

If you don't need Windows for anything on that machine (i.e. you're dedicating it to Amiga emulation and AROS) I'd say use AROS. If you need to keep Windows on there for whatever reason, you might find it easier to use WinUAE 'cause it's easier to configure at the moment. Of course, that's not as aestheically pleasing, but it's up to you to weigh up the pros and cons of that.

Probably, since there are lower overheads involved in running AROS than, say XP.

We also hope to get UAE integrated into AROS, so that it is (as much as possible seamless).

I would note however that WinUAE is by far the most advanced Amiga Emualtion available at the moment (it's got more features thana big shaking stick!), and it also allows for Hardware graphics acceleration (which AROS is lacking due to lack of Drivers).

And an Alternative for iFusion is MOL which is running on Macintosh, Teron(AmigaOne) and Pegasos.
On MOL you can run Linux, Mac 9 and Mac X in parallel at the moment.

Are you JIT'd yet though Bloodline?

hmm good question! I'm not sure if anyone has applied the JIT patch, but it should work on AROS x86 without problems.

@bloodline

Great news if it's now working.

pegasus is a great game from 90/92 by gremlin.

check it out...

Yes right.

And

5-SharkPPC, it is a PPC G3/G4 card that plug in to any Mediator model /a pci busboard form Elbox) and it Shark+Mediator should be equivalent to an A1. So you can run OS4 with a powerfull processor on any amiga thta can mount a mediator (there is a lot of models on www.elbox.com). But there is no recent news on this project.

@wishmaster

hi dude, have u got any links for MOL? This means i can run Mac X on a Pegasos? Is this full OS emulation? cheers
