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 7 of 69 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Darrin on 18-Nov-2001 14:54 GMT | In reply to Comment 6 (David Scheibler): A commendable attitude from Hyperion... now let's get behind them on this.
It amazed me earlier in the year how the rift between Hyperion and Elbox made people think that WarpOS would never appear on the Mediator. However, a few months later a truce was signed and now the Hyperion team are regulars on the Mediator mailing list assisting users with WarpOS questions.
It's professional business practices such as this that seem to slip by without comment. Hyperion have shown that they can be willing to bury the hatchet in order to move on yet people still try and throw muck in their direction.
There's a lession to be learned here for all the remaining companies in the Amiga market... but for some I feel "further education" is a lost cause. |
