By Thendic-France on MorphOS-News.de :
"In complete cooperation with Mai Logic, we have loaded the bplan OpenFirmware on both the Teron CX and PX. MorphOS runs well on both boards. The Pegasos was developed as a open hardware platform right from the beginning; it uses a BIOS to simplify a port of any operating system to the platform. This OpenFirmware is a well known standard (IEEE1275) and is used worldwide by companies like SUN Microsystems, Apple, Cisco, IBM, Motorola and others. We will support any OS vendor willing to port their software to our platform and will allow them to use our retail channels to sell their products..."

MorphOS, the Pegasos, and other PPC Operating Systems and Platforms : Comment 124 of 137 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ole-Egil on 24-Oct-2002 11:33 GMT | In reply to Comment 123 (Jedi): Uhm, so there's not gonna be a Pegasos 2, but it will be possible to use the Articia Sa nevertheless? Sorry, that's complete BS. Call it what you want, but it's gonna be a completely new product if it's gonna have a different Northbridge. Oh, and using a 900MHz FSB CPU on a 133MHz FSB northbridge means it's gonna be severly crippled. Also, if you try to solve the speed difference by making an "accelerator" card like the Classic Amiga has, you'll end up with "chip" ram and "fast" ram (DMA from the motherboard only into the 133MHz memory on the motherboard. Only the CPU will be able to write directly to local 900MHz memory. Not a very exciting idea.)
I would much rather see a new motherboard than a kludge like that. |
