| Next Pegasos production sold out : Comment 245 of 280 | ANN.lu |

>>Darrin, how on earth did you come to that conclusion from these posts?
By reading them.
>>Your view is certainly very biased.
I'd rather use the word "objective".
>>Thendic only made clear THEY sell hardware and their solution is directed towards another market. That is actually quite well in line with those Amiga Inc. fans that don't see MorphOS having a future within the Amiga community. The Pegasos people clearly have larger plans for the board, something people have been failing to grasp in the past.
I totally agree and that's EXACTLY the point I was trying to get across. Thendic simply sell the mobos... nothing else. They are the wrong people to whine at about OS4 not running on it. However, as they are in the business of SELLING the MAXIMUM number of mobos, this posting in an AMiga orientated site is simply a way of CONNING Amiga users (and ex-Amiga users) into buying what they will think is a next generation PPC Amiga-ish machine. Thendic sell mobos... once you've bought it then they're gone and any problems you'll have will be in the hands of bPlan and RS... god help you!!!
>>That is just plain smart considering negotiations with Amiga Inc. failed (negotiations have two parties, we can't really blame either for that in this case).
The main reason why negotiations work is because BOTH parties have something of valve to bring to the table and have the WILL to work together towards a COMMON GOAL. Unfortunately, MOS is a one-man-show and a closed door to discussions.
>>However, nowhere (please post a reference, not a biased way of reading between the lines) did they claim they wouldn't want AmigaOS to run on their hardware.
No, they neatly avoided the question. ANyway, it's NOT their problem. It's bPlans (like I pointed out).
>>Actually, it would be pretty understandable if they did (wanting to promote MorphOS instead) - its not like Eyetech have been rushing to get an AmigaOne to the MorphOS camp either, now have they
Perhaps bPlan should try ORDERING one.... just like Hyperion ordered a Pegasos.
>> - but they have only said (and that is Thendic, the current distributor, not bPlan) that at this time pursuing the Amiga community is left to other parties. I think this is being honest, but hey, feel free to look at it as another hostile act towards the "poor us".
I see it as a PR game. However, I give them credit for giving an honest answer to the state of the mobo and MOS. They have confirmed that MOS is unfinished, they have confirmed that the only Pegasos boards in existanmce were made in a garage, they have confirmed that the next production run is for development only and they have confirmed that dealers/users are going to have to wait for a board. Their main target is INDUSTRY... so all you home MOS users are NOT their priority.
I think all MOS fans should buy a Pegasos... you all deserve one. It will also be interesting to see just how much support you get down the road. I support the official board and I'll buy an AmigaOne (and a Shark+ for my A3000). What I want to see is all you MOS supporters who are so against Amiga Inc put your hands in your pockets and buy the Pegasos.
Regards
Whatever. |
