Say who ? I thought it was already said: We do want to support the Pegasos board. It's firmly planned. Unfortunately, we haven't received a developer board yet, but if we ever get one, OS4 will run on the Pegasos.

The emulator comes with a *VALID* licence, IOW, Cloanto obtained a legal licence to include the OS
