Whatever happened to the promised support for PowerUp? While people are discussing the meaning of "promise" and "support" I want to ask what the final outcome of MorphOS for PowerUP machines is. web archive (20030602171643) of www.morphos.net/support.php3. Was it ever promised? Not? Versions? Support? When? The mention of CSPPC and BlizzPPC was there for more than 3 years before it vanished when morphos.de/morphos.net became ..uhm.. genesized. :)

| Where is MorphOS for CSPPC? : Comment 14 of 78 | ANN.lu |

Uhh, the core reason is as the message above stated-they can either a)
support an ancient, dead end platform with a few users who are mostly
p1r4t3s anyway, or they can b) support their new, modern hardware.
As far as features go, AGP (at any speed), firewire, modern onboard
sound, real un-crippled PCI slots, USB onboard and (hopefully!) a
CatweaselMKIV for all you Amiga joystick diehards out there, beats the
pants off an ancient, h4xx0red to the maxx A1200 that runs hot and
hasn't got proper and fast DMA to its PCI slots everytime.
Yeah, I like to watch AGA demos too, but I can get a 4000 on eBay for
that, and buy a new Pegasos setup, probably for less money than I
could to buy the A4000, the CSPPC, the RAM (now somewhat hard to find
and expensive), the Cvision (hot and unreliable), the PCI expander
card and so on.
I for one would much rather see them put the $$$ towards a port of
Firefox or Galleon or something (you know, a browser that won't
explode when trying to hit www.homestarrunner.com..)
Cripes guys, let it go! Just go out, spend less money on a modern
hardware with a warranty, enjoy the speed and be happy :-)) |
