Also, we might as well let the thread know that MorphOS runs on the A1 too. We have one of "their" boards and it works! That should settle the issue of "write once, publish anywhere"... Plus, we are happy to sell a Pegasos to Mr. Hermans and his team or anyone else. Ben, you can have one from the next production and you do not even have to be a Betatester...;)

Morphos runs on AmigaOne too. : Comment 62 of 160 | ANN.lu |
Posted by cOrpse on 04-Sep-2002 16:59 GMT | In reply to Comment 59 (Nicolas Sallin): "Well, the dongle affair is just a way to be annoying IMHO.
Nobody could seriously think an OS4 version written for A1 could work
on a Pegasos and even less on an Amiga. Same for MorphOS."
Thing is no one except those with their hands on morphOS ( post classic amiga betas ) or AmigaOS 4 knows
"The HAL modules are totally differents. Some important drivers are
targeted for a specific hardware only. And it's very easy to not
documented vital part of the HAL API. Even more if you want to move to
a clean and modern OS in the near futur. Again, look MacOSX. No
MacOS7/8/9 driver works on it."
MacOSX and classic are really completly different OS , so its not hard to find the reason classic drivers won't work.
But how close is the Pegasos and AmigaOne hardware ? IIRC correctly they both use the MAI chipset , so how different could the two be ?
Also wouldn't it be shooting yourself in the foot from both sides if they made their hardware *custom* as it would lead to problems improving the hardware later ... Also if the amigaOne did have major differences to other PPC hardware what would the point of the dongle be ? If os4 won't run on anything but the amigaOne and the amigaOne won't run anything else Amiga Inc could just get away with forcing you to buy os4 with your amigaone? which IIRC is what their doing. |
