Pegasos II G4 1GHz benchmarks! : Comment 186 of 356 | ANN.lu |

Ouch! Do I really need to point out the flaw in this reasoning? Well, in case you don't see it; the fact that it is capable of running AmigaOS3.x applications and that it is the fastest system when running MorphOS native applications does NOT make it the fastest system for running Amiga applications. First of all, a PC with Amithlon, WinUAE or AmigaForever runs Amiga applications faster than MorphOS. Second of all, the ability to run AmigaOS3.x applications does not make it an Amiga compatible. In order to be Amiga compatible, it would have to be compatible with the original Amiga, as in capable of running Amiga branded software and/or beeing able to be executed on Amiga branded hardware. While MorphOS could be successfully argued to be compatible with software intended to interoperate with the original AmigaOS, it's still not compatible with Amiga hardware, nor is the Pegasos capable of running any Amiga branded software (ie AmigaOS) natively.
I know, MorphOS was released in it's early days for the classic Amiga hardware which could be an argument for MorphOS as an Amiga compatible product. However, that version required a third party hardware add-on, including an alien processor, in order to function. I could even go as far as saying that MorphOS was actually running on that third party hardware rather than the Amiga hardware, which would make that version of MorphOS Phase5 PowerUP accelerator board compatible rather than Amiga compatible. |
