Okay, so now everyone has got his/her very own opinion about all the mess occuring in the Amiga community nowadays (AmigaOS4 vs MorphOS1, AmigaInc/Eyetech/Hyperion vs Thendic/bplan, Bernie vs Harald/H&P, hackers/users/developers/dealers vs Elbox... urgh... who'll be the next??). Every fscking single day there's a new reason that tend to split us all, in a sort of all-against-all war ("I'm on a mission/I made my decision/To lead a path of self destruction" just like the Green Day sung... why can't everyone sit down, relax, bury the hatchet and try to be more constructive, d'oh).
But what if I don't wanna join the rat race? Yeh, I'm very happy with my good ol' hw (Blizz/Cyber+PPC/Vision) and I only wanna update my sw. So, when/where will I be able to buy the new AmigaOS and/or MorphOS and how much will they cost?
When will an official list of features be made available and definitive so that I can choose which one fits my needs the most?

Does/will MorphOS not have *any* IPC implementation?

Only one expansion bus of the Teron CX (and the Teron PX ("AmigaOne XE") as well?) is 66MHz, and that bus is shared by that one PCI slot and the AGP slot.
AFAIK, unless you use a 66MHz PCI card (some expensive SCSI/RAID controllers, gigabit ethernet adapters and other Very High Speed Stuff), then the AGP slot will be unusable, as a common 33MHz PCI card would clock down the bus so that it no longer follows AGP specs. This is according to the specs on Mai's site.
The AC/MC97 is in the southbridge, but without an AMR card they don't do much good.
Something I wonder about the Pegasos board is what's supposed to go into that riser slot in-line with PCI slot 1? |
