Amiga OS ported to the Pegasus platform ?

Look at the bottom, under "The following Operating Systems are in the early stages of being ported to the Pegasos Platform"

When did they get the rights from Amiga Inc to do that ?


Dont get me wrong. I think its a great idea.

If you'd note, the logo is to AmigaDE, not AmigaOS.  Genesi has a contract for porting AmigaDE to their product lines.  There is a contract dispute and Amiga does not feel that they have to honor the contract.  So while the dispute finds  its way through the courts, both sides can and will claim that their viewpoint is correct.  A judge will decide soon on whos interpretation of the contract is valid.

I've wondered about this before. I guess they could mean the AmigaDE...

[mantisspider]

was anything made for AmigaDE? is the os actually used by anything? just wondering as i never seen anything done for it apart from right at the begining.

It would be a smart idea if OS 4 is made for the Pegasos, but this is DE (Dead End developement).  :-D

I do too.  But unfortunately all you are seeing there is yet another marketing trick.   The logo that is used there is the standard Amiga boing ball, and not the one used for AmigaDE/Anywhere stuff (it has larger checks and is silver and red).  AmigaDE/Anywhere is NOT an OS, and they only link back to Amiga.org and not the AmigaAnywhere site.  That in itself is misleading to anyone not in the know, because they assume they can run the latest AmigaOS and it's simply not true.... Not yet anyway...

You are proof that thier marketing scheme is working.

Okay, I'm ready for it.... :-P

Initially, it did link directly to the de pages, but Amiga made the decision to ban people coming from our site on their servers.  Rather than let people be met by some stupid comment page, we chose to link here and hope that this foolishness gets put behind us.

That's not exactly true.  Amiga, Inc. didn't "ban" anyone. It was simply made clear via a transient page that the marketing ploy (or at least the inference made by the link) was not authorized by Amiga.  The user was, at that point, quite able to continue on to/through the Amiga portal, after reading the facts of the matter.

Hmetal: As you for sure know,  this disagreement concernig  DE licencing deal  is at the moment waiting federal court decision.  And I'm sure you are well aware to facts that AmigaInc has shown nothing to back their 'creative intepretation' of that deal.

I hope it'll end real soon now.. this mockery has been on way too long.

And with Joanna's comment the curtain closes on another thread here at AO.  Thank you for visiting our HOT topic for the day.
