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.

Ok, a new exec.. PowerOS had a new exec, MorhpOS have a new "exec",
does not say much, its pretty obvious.
JIT for older programs, MorhpOS got that too, it is what one would expect.
Native version of Picasso 96.. Am I wrong or do MorphOS have a native
version of Cybergraphics ? .. this is good ofcource.
---- correct me here -----
MorhpOS runs on PPC only (for now)
AOS4 runs on old Amiga-PPC hardware, AmigaOne, ..more ??
MorhOS have MUI (I like MUI)
What will AOS4 have as GUI ?
Probably MUI could be released for AOS4 I guess...
AHI - is available for both AOS4 and MorphOS if Im not mistaken..
thats good.
