In observance of the development schedule, the Pegasos system officially offers as of today a second operating system platform. In addition to Linux ( since this years` second quarter ), MorphOS now also supports the development systems in its full functional range.

The modern concept of a slim micro kernel system combines perfectly with the innovative hardware of the Pegasos systems. The outstanding scalability of this combination allows the user to fully and transparently carry out his applications from a single processor machines up to multi processor cluster machines.

This offers, beside investment-safety, the simple adaption of the used hardware to system requirements regarding performance and costs of purchase and operating.

As an additional feature MorphOS includes a highly optimized Motorola 680xx emulator, which allows full usage of the actual
programms of this widespread family of processors. Here, the achieved speed exceeds the capability of the native 688xx systems many times over. With the integrated mixed-mode-ability, developers are enabled to port there applications step by step, for example in performance-critical areas to power PC native code. This reaches out far beyond the capabilities of a standard emulating-system and presents itself superior even to highly optimized JIT Compilers.
