"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 75 of 137 | ANN.lu |
Posted by samface on 23-Oct-2002 07:25 GMT | In reply to Comment 74 (Seehund): Sigh... not you again.
1. The licensing scheme is NOT restricting the AmigaOS4 to only run one certain peice of hardware, it will run on ANY hardware verified and certified to run AmigaOS4. What's wrong with wanting to ensure your customers that your product functions correctly with third party product X or Y and providing them with support for your product functioning along with those other products?
2. The anti-piracy measurements may not be fool-proof but, would you deny the fact that it will make piracy more difficult and therefore reduce the amount of illegal copies? We've all seen what piracy can do to the industry before, haven't we?
3. Why do you so desperately wish for competition on the Amiga market? The Amiga market has virtually no profitability as it is already and splitting those few bread crumbs that are left is not going to make your stomach any more full. You think the Macinstosh would be able to compete better against the PC market if you split the Macinstosh market into seperate competing companies? There's a reason for why the WWII Allies was allies, you know. |
