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 77 of 78 | ANN.lu |

I just find it odd that you complain about not doing bluetooth on the
peg (usually 11mbps, slower than USB) or audio, and if you're doing
audio enough to saturate a USB line, you should probably be using a
PCI card anyway. The mobo connector on a 3000 is topping out at MAYBE
25Mbytes/sec, whereas the full PCI implementation of a Pegasos is
what, 133MBytes/sec? Well, thats the theoretical max granted, so its
probably less but you get the idea. All I'm saying is that 1) I can
buy a Pegasos, case, HDD, graphics card and so on for less than I can
kit up an A3000 and CSPPC/CVPPC, and that 2)the USB on the Peg is
adequate for many tasks, if not the most exceptional interface ever.
3) I can stick in a USB 2.0 card if I need the speed, IIRC Poseidon
supports at least the one Elbox sells (please correct me if I'm wrong
about this..) What you do on Linux that can't be done on MOS has to
do with drivers anyway, not Poseidon (its surely up to the task of
having more stuff added in) or MOS in general.
And finally, my point about 'hot rodding' an old box wasn't moot. Go
ahead, try MOS on that old hardware - it will do OK, but its
would be running in a place it is no longer meant to be and it isn't a
fair test considering how limited the older system is compared to what
it SHOULD be running on.
MOS on PearPC would probably be faster than MOS on Cyberstorm
hardware. |
