Oh yes, use the cloak of exlusivity. Everyone knows there is nothing to show otherwise they would have shown it yet.

From an amiga community viewpoint i would have to agree with you but if yellow dog linux start selling the pegasos then it's future is brighther, sure you might say teh same thing about amiga one, but the guys who made it would not bother to go thru eyetech. They would sell it to the linux market themselves..

Hello,
"I tried to answer these questions myself and if the situation doesn't look very bright for AmigaOne it certainly looks much less brigther for Pegasos."
I don't think that you or anyone else have enough elements to predict that the AOne have a brighter future than the Pegasos or vice versa. Or maybe you have discovered a really working and scientific method to predict the future? Have you? :)

I find that laughable. He didn't buy the rights to the Amiga name and IP, did he? I can't find anything more appropriate than Ben's "parasitic competition"
>And that'sexactly why I want AmigaOS4 for the Pegasos ;-)
LOL. I don't want him to commit suicide, just to be a little less mean and open his eyes. Synergy is always better than competition in a restricted market. Right now he's aiming straight into a black hole that would suck all his money, while he could work at expanding the community. But to do that he would have to give up the little throne he has created for himself, and since he has a huge ego I don't think he's ever do that, I'm pretty sure he's rather declare bankruptcy, which is exactly where it might end.

Yeah and I think the Pegasos will interest the Linux market. On Saturday in Bordeaux there was a Linux guy who came to see the Pegasos, and he was really impressed for reasons that only interest linux guys (Highly configurable BIOS and possibility to add "disk on chip" devices directly on the motherboard were one of the things he was interested of...).
That show us that the Pegasos is an interesting platform for the Linux market mainly because of its high flexibility.

The amigaOne has already been in the uk IT press and its a well known name it has a better chance simply because of that . Also i think the UK was worst hit by shitty hardware and DCE stealing and alot of people ain't going to buy anything thats touched that even if it gets sorted right now.
Also hyperion being the major amiga games company and OS 4 authors it looks alot better for os 4 support for games , and games sell a platform.
Also when DE is running on amiga os it gives joe normal entry point to amiga.

Yes, it's called market analysis. Results are not always 100% accurate but they can get pretty close. You might even be surprised to know that all businesses use it to find out if their product will be successful or not (and that's why so many products don't see the light of day, even after years of R&D).

Oh so you made a professional market analysis??? I don't think so. And in fact I don't think that Eyetech or BPlan have done one except by approximate the numbers of Amiga fans cause they are "potential" customers.

You want to know the real reason its got no chance ? its because you lot continuly piss us off and don't know when to just f*ck off. Your all on some little 3L33t crap and love to think you've escaped from nasty amiga inc.
Your platform's doomed because its new and its already outdated , no ones going to take that seriously . The amiga name has underground appeal , Amiga kids were cool and on the edge with warez'ord copies of superfrog , your platform has none of that history.
The history your team has is going bankrupt and selling dodgy products however much the people were involved.You all love to shout for amigaos to run on open POP hardware but mos won't even tell you what chipset their using and you all swear blind its not the same as the nasty amigaOne but it turns out you were wrong.Leaves a tasty taste in the mouth when BPlan tell DCE not to support AmigaOS as well dunnit.
Basically your going to fail because your sprits all wrong , you've got the /. I'm against the norm pill on overdrive. Your just not hardc0re enough.

Rats ? maybe you should start cleaning your house mate.
And why would i want to escape ? Your the one trapped in a box mate , i have no less then 4 platforms on the go, Amiga being the only one i care about. Altho if i wanted to escape i could join a bandwagon lead by arseholes that think think they're somehow elite for copying someone else's os, there again i don't want to get caught up in Thendic's hidden agenda.
"I can only assume your posts will get better after Amino bites the dust as DEad fades into the void of .com aftermath."
Even DE has more going for it then Mos / Bplan , Another game has been annouced for it recently. I only hope you'll feel better when Phase5/DCE/viscorp sink.
I hope you notice that Thendic are aiming for the market that everyone likes to think exists but doesn't, you know the powerful digital .com device market. Its going to be a laugh when they annouce another plan to sell their digital scam.
"BTW, just how many $50 coupons did you buy? I figure your good for atleast three of those purchases..."
I've bought as many coupons as there are pegasos' being used by *real* people , ZERO ! My reason ? Social lives are expensive to maintain and i'm going to run os 4 on my phase 5 cock up for a while to make its £640 price tag not give me nightmares.

Like OS4 and like ALL Amiga software and OS solutions.
Get serious, everything in the Amiga market new or not, is OUTDATED.
And about "someone else's 68k software", there are titles under development
(and some released) running natively under MorphOS and you know it.
But... Like some other people, you seem to see and read only what *YOU* WANT.
Btw, yes the GUI is configurable like the OS4 gui is. I believe that the only
fight will be about some other features and... SOFTWARE. Both platforms seem
to have the same titles to start with. What will happen later is what will judge
the future. Not you and nobody else are really able to judge that.
So, do what I do... Wait.

Front men such as bill buck should act up to their role and not slander the other efforts as he does because its very easy to dig up the past and question people intentions.Also please if your not going to give reason or detail don't say it , yes mos may be great , but the average joe hasn't seen this development and its tantamount to flamebait.Its not like I go round saying ExecSG rocks , i haven't seen it.

What?
Lets see...
Vic-20 - The first mass-market colour home computer (well.. apart from the Atari 400/800;) in a time when most kids were playing their VCS or Intellivision
C64 - The best-selling computer model of all time.
Amiga - The computer we all know and love.
These were dodgy products? I have a C64 that's still working 20 years after it was made. Wanna make a bet on how many CSPPC's are still functioning in 2017? ;)

What was he on about The Matrix and stuff. Seems he's on something really strong :) Quite the contrary to his previous posts i've seen. Don't know if it will add a lot to the credibility of a company though?
And to Alkis:

I have never had any of my A1200's timing-fixed, and they all worked fine (with mediators, bppc's, and all sorts stuck on them). Actually, i remember one did have the horizontal tearing problem when running in multiscan productivity modes. This didnt affect me as I had a gfxcard by then... Lets face it, A1200's were never designed to have the amount of stuff stuck on them that most people have.
My Phase5-built CSPPC crashes at random intervals of 20 minutes to a couple of hours when running processor-intensive stuff like Shogo or QuakeWOS, despite me adding a new heatsink, big 12v fan, and leaving the case open. People with DCE-built CSPPC's have it much worse, so I've heard (on many, the PPC side of the card is completely dead, but the 060 is still usable if they're lucky)

Well they shouldn't make cards with defects then. And they should honour the warranty for people who have bought cards that are broken. (And they should answer my emails about my broken BVision instead of ignoring me).

Well, Amigas up to the 3k were perfect. In the last years of commodore
(with the 1200 and 4k), their rush made them produce very flaky hardware.
The 4k could be MUCH better(take a look at the buster). It must have been
lack of funding though.

I agree on all your points (I too don't have timing probs with my 1d.1 while I

About the warranty, DCE has nothing to do with Phase5. Furthermore, they stated
a hundred times that they do not accept repair emails and you can contact them
by phone.
I agree they can be quite annoying sometimes.

Commodore only made dodgy PC's and that is part of the reason they went bankrupt.
Their Amigas were selling just fine and are obviously of good quality since so
many of them are still working today. I have 2 A4000, a 3000, a 1200 and a 600 myself.
All are still working nicely.

I'd be happy just running Linux on any of the new machines to begin with.
Just getting to use a powerful PPC processor with a decent OS unlike the Mac's would be nice.
My friend Stefan at OnyxSoft has pre-ordered a PegasOS and I'll wait for him
to get it before I choose what to get myself.
And concerning repair issues with DCE. Stefan got a faulty CyberVision PPC, so
he sent it back through Vesalia which he bought the card from. He got it back, but
it was broken again, from the transport from what we could see. So he sent it back
a second time and got the same card back again, fixed. All this went very smooth and
didn't take more than a few weeks from what I can remember. So you're probably better
off going through your dealer. He still had the guarantee of course so I don't know
about older cards...

There are several ppc applications for mos, and more is coming all the time. And it seems to be very easy to port 68k amiga apps to ppc morph os. Only DAYS after the aweb scource code was released there were a ppc version available for mos. Another good example is AHI. Look at this (old!!) text from the AHI website (especially the last line):
-start------------------
2000-08-03
Believe it or not, but I am still alive. It's time for a new beta, this time for MorphOS, which was released as a public beta two days ago. If you haven't tried it yet, do so now! Personally, I love it.
This beta, the fourth, is just a new device and preference program, since I still have a couple of build issues to sort out. Note that you must update the "Default anti-click time" in the advanced preferences if you have used an earlier beta version! I changed the format of env:sys/ahi.prefs a little.
Anyway, download the archive, unpack it and copy AHI_MUI to SYS:Prefs/AHI and ahi.device.elf.604 to DEVS:ahi.device.elf. Boot into MorphOS and enjoy the fastest mixing you have ever seen on the Amiga... Then send your detailed bug report to me.
(The WarpUp version is still giving me headaches, I'm afraid. It's not looking good.)
-end------------------
Personally, I have been an amiga enthusiast since the very beginning, but I have had my old amigas in a closet for some time now. I visit the major amiga web forums from time to time, just to keep myself updated, but honestly, there hasn´t been THAT much to update. Not until now.
I think that the pegasos/mos combination is kind of exciting (except for the price, but low quantaty ppc hardware can never be as cheap as x86 hw). I like the fact that it is a new, lean, ppc native solution, free of old 68k legacies and patches/addons like Birdie/MagicMenu/Whatever. I also like the fact that you still CAN run 68k amiga apps seamlessly and stable. I also like the fact that the "workbench" will be MUI-based and therefore fully customizable.
I am seriously considering to buy a pegasos. I´m afraid that if i bring out my old amigas from the closet, I will be kind of disappointed of the performance. You see, one has gotten used to the raw processor power on the x86 platform. But the pegasos might be just the remedy to that. The prize is my only questionmark, but who knows, it might be worth it.

... and possibility to add "disk on chip" devices directly on the motherboard ...
This sounds interesting. In practice, what does this mean? Is there a DOC (disc on chip) available on the standard mobo (in that case, how large is it? 32 meg?), or is that an option with extra hardware?

Hello,
Simply wrong :-) On MorphOS you can run quite all Amiga games currently available (including ECS/AGA games using UAE PPC for MorphOS and latest WarpUP/Warp3D games).
And look also at http://www.titan-computer.com/ in the Amiga section and click on "Rage Hard" and you'll see that there is even a game that is actually planned only for MorphOS in preparation :)

Hello,
Actually I have not so much information about this technology, I even didn't know it before the Unix guy asked about it to Gerald Carda :)
Anyway what I know about it and the Pegasos is that actually you should either order a "special version" of the Motherboard with the chip included (but maybe it's not possible to just order one in that case) or you can solder the chip by yourself (if you know what you do of course).

Oh, come on amigammc... why all the FUD ? You don't seem so secure about Amiga OS4 and its release date (somewhere in the future)
