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.

| Pegasos to go on sale on Monday - Pegasos II to be available in September 2003 : Comment 88 of 318 | ANN.lu |
| Posted by Ben Hermans/Hyperion on 22-Feb-2003 11:07 GMT | In reply to Comment 83 (Max):
Bringing in a new Northbridge will mean a very substantial redesign of the motherboard, this is nothing trivial at all.
It will also mean a very substantial revision of the firmware.
Given the fact that the A-Box cannot support SMP ever BY DESIGN (as confirmed here by Emmanuel Leseuer, senior MorphOS developer), I fail to see why it is relevant to release a dual G4 module.
I also fail to see why no single G4 module can be made available to existing customers interested in upgrading.
And claiming that the same CPU suddenly runs slower on virtually identical hardware is ofcourse completely ridiculous.
We have a very wide range of different CPU's here: MPC 7410, PPC 750 Cxe, PPC 750 FX (two revisions), MPC 7441, MPC 7451.
It's clear that the 7451 with 2 MB L3 cache running at 800 Mhz is the performance leader even if one disregards the Altivec.
The 750 FX is a worthy runner-up but claiming that the 750 Cxe@600 Mhz will outperform either the 750 FX or the MPC 7451 at 800 Mhz just because they run on the Pegasos, well, what I can say: MorphOS reality distortion field activated. |
