As Genesi announces on MorphOS-News.de, the next Pegasos-I-boards will go on sale on Monday:
To Whom it May Concern:
The Pegasos will go on sale Monday.
There are 300 to sell and 100 that will go to MorphOS Developers and Employees.
If interested to purchase a Pegasos mainboard or fully configured machine:
1. Contact your Distributor
2. Contact Phoenix
3. Contact Genesi
When these are sold there will not be another release until August/September 2003. The next release, the Pegasos II, will have double data rates, three 1 Gb/s ethernet channels, and Dual G4s. Genesi will not release a new version until then.
We want everyone to understand this before they purchase the Pegasos available now. All Betatester boards will be exchanged with the first priority.
An upgrade credit will be offered to Pegasos I buyers. The Pegasos I will not have a G4 upgrade.
Thank you and best regards,
Genesi
Note: Please contact Genesi directly to get your replacement board with April chipset (if you haven't done so far). Thank you.

| Posted by Kjetil on 22-Feb-2003 20:39 GMT | OS3.x:
Internal sub routine's with in the kernel (old exec) will be run by the same task (CPU),
there are no medaling with regs, the old exec is prefect for SMP. It is the memory protection that is
the problem, exec message system, exec ports well used with in OS3.x friendly apps using arexx like the
OS3.5 and OS4.9 workbench system. This is way they provide an new API as an bonus to old reg based one fore
comparability resons. 68k task are translated on execution so it will be like any
otter PPC program parsing PPC regs.
memory protection is the week point, it will only feature protecting areas that are not reserved by any program,
allowing otter task to overwrite one otter. crashes will be less frequent, there is room for crashes,
do not know if OS4.0 tasks are memory protected when they are in sleep state, hope so!!,
I allsow hope they are implementing some sort of AREXX past true library,
API layer to care of the MP problem on new OS4.0 programs, this will add latency to programs using Exec Ports,
(how ever there are more ways to skin a kat, Shared memory, Pipes, TCP/IP, UDP and IPX)
A/Box:
A/Box run on top of Quark as one task, 68k tasks are handled by the A/BOX,
memory for A/Box programs are reserved of the Q/Box when the JIT emulation starts allowing it to be less
latency hungry, butt uses extreme amount of memory of the not developed Q/BOX, if they do not do this
they head to call 3/4 extra instructions to just emulate the Amiga3.x api when ever an multi traded dynamic
memory reserving program like an database or well programed task where to execute.
the A/Box provides an safe environment by it self,
allowing memory protected Q/Box task to be handled by not yet developed Q/Box,
or quark kernel API that do support SMP. MP should be implemented perfectly on Q/Box.
Memory protection is not implemented with in the A/BOX, SMP not working on the A/BOX,
(this can only be done if the Q/BOX where implemented, and one 68k task where to run inside one Q/BOX task,
(JIT on per task basis). this is one of tow week point of MorphOS)
Common:
On bout cases dabble amount of memory most be reserved in addition,
to hold 68k program space and ppc program space.
Note:
THIS COMMENT IS BASED ON THE FEATURE LISTS OF MORPHOS AND OS4.0
and feature some information provided by asking MORPHOS camp nicely,
my own ides on who thins work if you really like to know ask the developers of the camps,
some of the engineers and developers and lowers offend ignore and acts with arrogance, if asked. |
