Pegasos and Morphos on German TV 3Sat : Comment 1 of 272 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Christophe Decanini on 15-May-2002 18:40 GMT | I had to remove the unmoderated post as the title was misleading (speaking about an AmigaOne show).
I also hope that the thread here will be cleaner than the previous one.
And please if you are not interested in MorphOS go back to the main page and enjoy other news. |

Posted by bhickman on 15-May-2002 18:53 GMT | Quoted from the site:
> in which we will be gladly respond to any of your questions.
I'll be at the IRC shoot with bells on! I can't wait to ask them if they plan on supporting OS4 so I know whether to spend my money on the Pegasos or elsewhere.
This is not in jest, this is not to pose flame, this is a very serious concern of mine. If it can't run OS4 I'm not interested. It can run/emulate all the applications in the world but I wouldn't care if I can't run OS4 on it. Heck, I'd even wait for a Pegasos rebranded from Merlancia if I could get direct OS4 support. The point is, I'm willing to wait for it if OS4 support is definate. |

I don't know if it is on IRC or on the neues-Homepage. The neues chat on their
homepage uses a Java applet. So hard to chat with an Amiga browser then. |

Posted by Christian Kemp on 15-May-2002 18:58 GMT | In reply to Comment 1 (Christophe Decanini): Agreed on all points.
People, I understand that many of you are not native English speakers, but please make an effort when commenting... The deleted thread had some pretty bad English in it, not because of it being such a difficult language, but because a lot of people just seem to want to get their point across in a hurry without ever considering or re-reading what they write. Nothing weakens an argument more effectively than using the wrong words (and style) to bring it across.
(Obvious disclaimer: My English is not perfect either. Neither are all of my arguments. I'm not targeting anyone in particular. But you get the idea. :) |

Posted by Nichelle on 15-May-2002 19:06 GMT | In reply to Comment 2 (bhickman): Yeppers, My problem is alike.
I want OS4 for whoevers sake, but as I want firewire, I have some concern about the AmigaOne.5
Aside that I was always a little hobbyist that upgrades personally.
And when Eyetech doesn't offer soldering a socket in afterwards for the CPU as soon as the next
generation (G4) get's available.... Murrrr... :(
Anyone knowing if there are cards supported by OS4 that have firewire onboard? |

Posted by the man in the shadows on 15-May-2002 19:07 GMT | I wonder if the live chat will accomidate for english speakers? I'd really like to be there. I mean, I can understand Chinese to a point, a good bit of French (though I mutalate the language), and even some Latin... but I've never been able to grasp German no matter how hard I try. |

Posted by the man in the shadows on 15-May-2002 19:11 GMT | In reply to Comment 5 (Nichelle): With regard to cards with onboard FireWire... take a look at the ATI Radeon all-in-wonder card. While it has FireWire, the drivers don't exist yet that we know of so it may mean creating the drivers. Although, the ATI Radeon all-in-wonder may be your best bet it's not your only hope. The SBLive Platinum edition with the LiveDrive! has their version of IEEE1394. I'm almost (not quite but almost) certain that someone will rewrite the SBLive drivers to accomidate SBAudigy cards since they are very similar drivers on x86 platforms to start with. I'm not sure how difficult it would be to do this, but nonetheless it's another avenue to look at.
Desperately wanting FireWire support for my ImageFX needs. 8^) |

Posted by Shotgun on 16-May-2002 05:49 GMT | About who supports what...
I think Ainc. are shooting themselves to their foot if AmigaOS 4 doesn't work with pegasos...and all this accidentaly! But they'll survive...I hope :P
BUT bplan is shooting themselves to the HEAD by not letting AmigaOS4 developed to pegasos...simple suicide...almost lose - lose situation...I'm bit tired of this :(
Linux market is quite full of hardware enterprises...mostly x86 I'm afraid!
There has to be two competing HW that's best for AmigaOS users! |

Sure, it would be nice for "the platform". But I think that the first OSes to hit Pegasos will be Morphos and Linux PPC. |

Pegasos and Morphos on German TV 3Sat : Comment 20 of 272 | ANN.lu |
Posted by gz on 16-May-2002 06:21 GMT | I would prefer running OS4 on a pegasos rather than MOS, but as it seems there won't be any cooperation between AI and Bplan... I guess I'll have to settle for MOS untill there will perhaps be AmigaOS for the pegasos sometime in the distant future.
It will be interesting to see the driver situation evolving on both OS's. OS4 only supports drivers from hyperion and MOS supports it's own range of agp cards so there might be some other cards to choose from.
After the race of who gets the OS out first is over, a race for wider selection of drivers will begin.
This proves that competition can be a good thing (only when it's healthy though, which it sometimes isn't on the amiga :( ) |

Posted by Sotiris Papageorgiou on 16-May-2002 06:23 GMT | Yes,linux market is big but there is always a room for somethink new and don`t forget that linux market isn`t a "market" at all for somethink commercial,take a look at the developers that made games and apps for linux,where are they know;They have closed or they have changed to win or mac development.I think that there is an oportunity to offer both ami-se as an non-upgratable amiga ppc as a 1200 and pegaso as high end with support for agp4x,multiprocessor and even re-enginered for a laptop and all running os 4,this idea could give a big range of amiga`s for everyone to choose. |

Posted by Mahen on 16-May-2002 07:19 GMT | As many other do, I SUMMON BPLAN&AMIGA inc's reason
Please stop this insane war !
Please cooperate !
You all have so much time to catch up,
we need all of our developers, current community
and much more to survive.
BPLAN is DEAD if they don't let Hyperion port Amiga OS 4.
Amiga Inc. will lose a huge part of the community if
they keep on waging war to all the other initiatives.
Amiga Inc., do you want to be considered as another microsoft ??
We don't believe you help the community.
Prove us the contrary. Stop all those stupid anti competitive
processes. Make compatible APIs, share drivers, etc. !
Np piece of software "exclusively for AOS, or MorphOS",
both are CHILDREN of the Amiga Community. We don't care who
owns a brand.
God, it will take A LONG TIME to offer a viable platform,
so much has to be developed. We need everyone...
Man, I know all my blabbering is useless anyways...
They're all just stubborn and stupid :-/ |

Posted by Ben Hermans/Hyperion on 16-May-2002 09:16 GMT | In reply to Comment 5 (Nichelle): There is no cause for alarm.
It's not because the AmigaOne doesn't (yet?) have Firewire onboard that we don't intend to support Firewire.
In fact, as soon as the USB stack for OS 4 is done (it's currently being beta-tested) we can examine the best way to bring Firewire to OS 4.
I'm sure you will agree that Firewire on a PCI card is a viable option for those who really want Firewire support.
Considering the fact that there are now soundcards and graphics boards wilt Firewire support, this could even be handled without losing a PCI slot. |

Could you reveal some info about testing...is betatesting process almost over or just begun or...?
How about kernel...does ExecSG already boot nicely on different HW?
How about documentation...I know about hdtoolbox replacement...but how about other parts of OS?
Are you already planned about packaging? DVD Case, plain CD case or Big Box? :P
Is there a nice boot picture from early seconds of OS Boot? I Think there could be gfx or debug mode in boot?
Does Amidock has clock integrated? :)
Phew...Just curious to know some...Thanks in advance! :) |

Posted by priest on 16-May-2002 10:20 GMT | In reply to Comment 20 (gz): "and MOS supports it's own range of agp cards so there might be some other cards to choose from. "
Could someone post a comprehensive list of supported GFX cards on MOS?
How about the 3D acceleration then?
This is what I know already about MOS (http://www.morphos.de/support.php3):
-Voodoo3 2000, 3000, 3500 (also 3D, but how well?)
-Voodoo4 4500, 5500 (2D only?)
-CyberVisionPPC, BlizzardVisionPPC (also 3D ?)
-CyberVision64/3D (also 3D ;))
-SiS 6326
-Most all CGX V4 (the list linked here contains the same cards as above + some very old ones)
This is what I know about OS4:
-Permedia 2 (also 3D)
-Permedia 3 (also 3D)
-Voodoo 3 (also 3D)
-Matrox G450/G550 (someday also G1000) (also 3D)
-ATI Radeon (series, not every card, though) (also 3D, someday also firewire)
-Most/all of older P96 supported cards. (CVPPC,BVPPC,CV64,CV64-3D,...)
What I would also like to know is how is multimonitor configurations handled in MOS and in OS4? |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but BVision and CVision were IIRC not supported by
older versions of P96. |

And as far as I know multimonitor settings work somehow on both, but not in a very configurable/controlled way (screen not spread to two monitors, no virtualdesktop managers).
Again, information is desperately needed. ;) |

Obviously P96 now does need to support the Permedia 2.
Support for Permedia 2 based PCI cards will also be included.
If anybody was crazy enough to get one of those. |

So right now, the "A" in ANN has about as much meaning as the "N"... that is, none at all. "ANN" in 2002 is just a name, not an abbreviation. |

Pegasos has AGP2x. Articia P will come with AGP4x, but that's in a rather distant future. |

Posted by Samface on 16-May-2002 12:18 GMT | In reply to Comment 45 (Miky060): LOL! Wouldn't they need a rise of the Amiga platform in order to make money? I'm sorry but try to make money out of the Amiga community as it is today is impossible. On the contrary, it's probably one big loss in even trying as the sales wouldn't cover the development expenses. So, you're argument that Amiga Inc is only in it for stealing money from the Amiga community doesn't make any sense what so ever. |

Posted by Kronos on 16-May-2002 12:27 GMT | In reply to Comment 49 (Samface): AInc has to over what development-costs ??
There has been nothing developed by AInc (atleast
not for the Amiga-market), just relabeling and
outsourcing.
They didn't invest in the A1-HW, that was done by
Eyetech/Escena/MAI, but they will get a licence-
fee for every A1 sold.
If COS4 would be ported for the Pegasos without
bPlan having a AInc-licence they wouldn't get
any money from that HW-sale.
The only money they would get is the COS-licence-
fee which is probraly much less than then the A1-
licence. |
