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 70 of 78ANN.lu
Posted by Tronman on 28-Jul-2004 03:37 GMT
In reply to Comment 23 (Kolbjørn Barmen):
Why all this about USB on the Peg (and by extension, any USB 1.1
interface) being so slow?? I get most of a megabyte per second on
transfers, its been way more than adequate for scanning, downloading
from my digicam etc. I mean yeah, I have a SCSI scanner and it
probably dumps data down the wires faster, but since its an ancient
three pass scanner, that becomes a moot point eh?

USB is suitable for much more than just HID stuff. I'm using a USB
mouse on my peg, and it has NEVER stumbled once even when hitting the
USB bus hard even on the same root hub as the mouse.

Frankly, I can't understand why anyone would complain about USB these
days, especially since Amiga-like systems have one of the best USB
stacks on any platform, bar none! Poseidon Rulezz!

Maybe it would would only cut the price of the mobo fifty cents or a
buck to remove that group of PeeCee legacy garbage connectors from the
back of the Peg, but that cost would add up quick in productions of
thousands of boards.

Finally, I had an A3000T with a CSPPC and Cybervision card on it for
several years. Loved that system. Miss it dearly. Don't miss how
hot it ran if I didn't have three fans on it, or having to reconnect
that KEL ('from Hell' to quote Dave Haynie) connector every six
months. The Pegasos is just much cleaner, thats all. So is an Amiga
One, for that matter. Its just a matter of the newer systems using
much newer, faster interfaces. And, maintaining and improving the HAL
for the CSPPC would still be work-I'm getting the impression MOS needs
things the old stuff just can't provide anymore, at least not
reliably. Just think of having to have your HAL deal with not just
the original CSPPC and Amiga beneath it, but that bevy of PCI slot
addons which you can get for it.. And what about all those Zorro
cards..

Its just better to keep the old box running the old OS and enjoy it
for what it is-instead of trying to hot rod it into something its not.
I love my 1978 Cadillac, but I know it'll NEVER be a 2004 Hammett CTS
no matter how hard I try :-) Although the trunk in the old Caddy is
bigger..
