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.

AmigaOS 4.0 on Pegasos : Comment 16 of 510 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ponyonymous on 15-Apr-2002 12:27 GMT | In reply to Comment 9 (DaveW): No, Dave, you are not alone. Some of us just like to sit back and let others make the sensible statements.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees the difference between OS4 _running_ on Pegasos (in the test lab) and OS4 _shipping_ with Pegasos.
Those who do not understand this, let's try again:
- Unless bPlan pays Amiga Inc. their license fees and Amiga Inc. approves bPlan as a fit and reliable licensee (a bad licensee makes the licensor look bad - I used to work for the company that licenses Snoopy and let me tell you, you had to jump through some flaming hoops and pay out some serious moolah to get a Snoopy/Peanuts license, and even then you might not get it)
then OS4 will NOT be available for the Pegasos board, EVEN IF THE BOARD IS CAPABLE OF RUNNING THE OS.
- YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BUY OS4/ROMs ON THEIR OWN!!!
- IF YOU WANT TO RUN OS4, YOU MUST BUY APPROVED MOTHERBOARD!!! IF YOU BUY UNAPPROVED MOTHERBOARD, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE OS4!!!
- DO NOT EXPECT TO SEE MORPH-OS SHIP ANYTIME SOON, IF AT ALL (As soon as they try it, they will be hit with a cease & desist, followed by a lawsuit, so even if you get your hands on a release copy, you won't see it get developed very far - MorphOS is now effectively a hobby OS which Ralph cannot make a dime from, unless he thinks he has the resources to win in a lengthy court battle)
It's really that simple.
I'm sure, if they receive a Pegasos developer board from bPlan, Hyperion will try to get OS4 running on it. If they get it to work without too many hassles, then the ball is in bPlan's court to pay Amiga Inc. and get its approval. Either that or Vesalia will have to pay the license, get the approval.
Bill and Petro don't own Amiga or Hyperion, and they aren't calling any shots. Amiga Inc. is calling the shots, and they say "you gotta pay to play". |
