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.

I don't think the emulator itself is ilegal, but the use of the emulator in combination with AOS might be, it does't mean that because no-one is pressing charges that you aren't doing something ilegal :)
In order to use UAE legally, you need to use it with a version of AOS that permits this in it's EULA, that's how it is, legally.
If i were running UAE and use my original copy of AOS3.0, and Ainc were to decide to sue me, i'd probably lose the case (especially because there is a legal solution to using UAE, namely amiga forever)

I know, but it's a question that's out of my reach to awnser, if there are any real lawyers here, please awnser this one :) Ben?

True, however, MOS is/was dependant on AOS parts, and that's where the problems start, imho, however, i'm willing to listen to other people's opinions :)
