OS4 on the pegasos
« on: June 03, 2004, 05:22:00 PM »
Pegasos seems like a great piece of kit, will OS4 be on there and if not why not?!

If Genesi or Bplan were to pay for the license then maybe, but since they have their own OS MorphOS they are developing its not likly to happen any time soon if ever. At least not in a legal way.

I don't know much about Morph Os, can somebody tell me if it's any good and are there any new games or games planned for it?

Cheers

You know the negotiations in Theme park, with the biscuits running out, but no-one's sticking their hand out?

It's exactly like that.

MorphOS is everything people wanted from OS4 except the name, but implemented more cleanly, running on better hardware, and out two years earlier. It will run most Amiga PPC games and already has its own games like Knights and Merchants. And boy, is this post ever going to make me popular with OS4 loyalists.

What about Future games releases and compatibility with a PC? You see by nature I'm a Pc user but like a lot of other people I'm getting fed up with the sluggishness of the os even with a high power machine...

I'll give another straight answer: neither OS4 or MOS have any compatibility with the PC at all. To play old PC games you can use an emulator, but to play any PC games remotely modern you need a PC running Windows.

Hehe well I'm not so interested in pc games anymore, too slow sure they look cool but I'm fed up with upgrading this and that all the time, all I'd want a pc link for would be to transfer my mp3 collection.

A link to PC is fairly simple. You need a nullmodem cable or a proper LAN, but it's not hard to set up.

So will the amiga version of Quake 2 or Payback PPC work, for example?

What about a good office suite.  Does one exist for MOS.

OS4 seems to be taking forever so I am seriously considering a Pegasos.  Some questions.

I use BT Broadband.  Are their drivers available for those stupid little BT Voyager USB modems?

As for transfering MP3's.  Buy a CD/DVD Burner.  Much much simpler.

Yeah OS4 is taking forever but consider you need an Amiga One to run it, it seems to me like the pegasos is like half the price and the same sort of hardware spec, or is that just in England?

Hyperion Quake 2 will work on MorphOS. WipeOut 2097 will. Heretic II and Shogo will. Payback won't (it bangs the hardware). Playing 3D games using 3D hardware assumes you have a card with working MOS 3D drivers, currently only Voodoo 3 and 5 cards have them, Radeon cards will follow in the future.

MOS has been promised Papyrus Office as an office suite, it exists but nobody knows how far it is from release.
