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 51 of 510 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Johan Forsberg on 15-Apr-2002 15:08 GMT | Could someone explain to me again why MorphOS would be illegal?
MOS is, in effect, an Amiga emulator that runs on certain PPC platforms (including a real Amiga with CSPPC/BPPC). To use it you also need AOS 3.x. AOS 3.x is sold seperately without any restrictions on what hardware you may use it on (unlike OS4.0 according to this latest nes).
Yes, MOS contains some reverse-engineered parts, but reverse-engineering isn't illegal. If it was, IBM could sue every PC manifacturer in existance.
BTW, before I get flamed to a husk, I personally disaprove of MOS (divides the market, yadda yadda), but I see no reason why it would be illegal and it ought to get its chance on the market, even if it will hurt the Amiga. |
