With this mail I want to thank everyone (bPlan, Genesi, MorphOS developer team and all the volunteers) involved into the PegasosII and MorphOS for keeping up the good old Amiga spirit and showing us the future for Amiga. Big thanks to all of you who you spent all the years onto the Amiga and finally found a new real path for the Amiga. For me as user PegasosII and MorphOS is everything that I want to see a modern Amiga should be. Quite modern and affordable Hardware, a nice clean and fast Operating System and all the developers and 3rd party people heavily supporting it. Without you the Amiga would still be a dead thing but with all you people we are happy to look forward into a nice future.
Thanks again.

Posted by Bill Hoggett on 20-Jun-2004 20:49 GMT | In reply to Comment 41 (Amon_Re): "But i tought MOS was the reïmplementation, didn't they claim they didn't have the source code?"
Both are re-implementations if we're honest. The only difference is how much access they had to the original source, not how much of that was actually ported.
From what I hear of the original source/design, it was a shambles in many ways, and not something anyone would want to "port". You could argue that a re-implementation with access to the original source is going to be more faithful than one without, but access to the original source also makes repeating original design gaffes more likely.
Neither software platform is mature or complete and both will need many years before they can reach ruch a state. Whether the hardware platforms they're tied to will survive long enough for the operating systems to mature is debatable. |
