Some news gathered from several sources attending the show.
A complete Pegasos-based computer system that will be on sale next year will cost approximately 1000 euro (~$900). The motherboards will also be available separately.
Hyperion and Haage & Partner are developing AmigaOS 4 with several other developers. New features include:
- PPC native Picasso96
- New Warp3D with "Matrox-, Permedia3- and Radeon1/2-support"
- Generic PCI-drivers
- USB-support
- BlizzardPPC-support evaluated
- Integrated 68k-emulation
- PPC datatypes
- Price: approximately the same as OS3.9
- Initial release planned for February
Hyperion also told that they've been talking with both Elbox and BPlan and that they want to have versions of AmigaOS 4 for the SharkPPC and Pegasos.

| Amiga 2001 news update (updated) : Comment 22 of 69 | ANN.lu |

Yeah, I know it is pricey and yeah, that would make it not worthwhile. :(
Surely there is no current apps that could use it but I think something like Realsoft3D would benefit from such a beast and perhaps some non-linear video editing tools, in future.
Imagine how cool it would be to arrange some rendering demos in some conventions with such beasts...
Have anyone heard about those PPC accelerators that were supposed to be made by Microcode Solutions?
Last I've heard is:
June 9th, 2001 - Today, Microcode Solutions received our first working prototype PowerPC board. This concludes nearly 4 months worth of design and negotiations.
The board plugs into your PC, Amiga, or any other PCI based machine, and uses a high speed PowerPC processor with two RAM sockets, allowing up to 1GB of RAM to be placed on the board!
