"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.

MorphOS, the Pegasos, and other PPC Operating Systems and Platforms : Comment 128 of 137 | ANN.lu |
Posted by anonymous on 24-Oct-2002 14:36 GMT | In reply to Comment 121 (Jacek Piszczek): Interesting... the developers appear to want MorphOS to be available for every platform under the sun, but when anyone brings up x86 architectures it falls on deaf ears. And we all know that the endian argument is manageable: it all boils down to pride masked as some anti-piracy argument. If the Amiga community thought with their wallets instead of their hearts the world would be a better place.
According to reports, there are 600 million active computer systems, most of which are Wintel platforms. Even if a microscopic percentage of legitimate users on x86 boxes bought MorphOS or OS4 it would be significantly larger than any of the current target platforms.
Let's face it: the Pegasos is a dongle for MorphOS and AmigaOne is a dongle for OS4. |
