Hello all.
yesterday, I received my first Pegasos II + G4 system. I install it in a MicroATX tower, install a standar seagate hard drive, standar "Infenion" DDR400 CL3 256mb DIMM, an old Voodoo3 3000 AGP, a standar LG combo-unit (DVD+CDRW) a USB keyboard with a standar PS2/USB optical mouse.
I switch ON and all starts......
I make the partitions, (very easy)
I format, install MOS 1.4 and all works perfectly.
The first impressive impresion was the "4 seconds" in boot-up the MorphOS from HD. Really superb!
Well, before of do all that I start to install programs for test, I install my old Image FX 4.1, perfect. My old DOPUS 4.12, perfect. My old Snoopdos, TVPaint, CygnusED and all necesary for start to work.
All runs like a hell ! I´ve tested a lot of OS´s and I can confirm that really is the most FAST operating system that I´ve seen in all my life!
And runs very very very very fast ! really.
The compatibility from old Amiga utils is enough for everyone, all last amiga programs runs without problems.
Well, now.. its time for check some native MOS stuff....
I installed Quake, DOOM, StonX, uae, xsnes, ScummVM, DukeNukem, some demos that Hooligan sent me time ago, all runs perfect and very smooth (50 fps in 1024x768)
I installed MPlayer and check some Divx, mpeg and quicktime movies.. all perfect too.
I installed MAME with that weird magilla front-ed , also perfect, I play with Metal Slug 1, 2, X, 3 without breaks !
I also test Kaya and AmigaAmp. all right!
I´m very very very very very happy with Pegasos and MorphOS. Really I´ve back to my old and good Amiga days but with 1ghz of power and with a funny and new community for talk and check new stuffs!
Thanks to Genesi for give me again that good feeling that I felt when Amiga had his glory-days!
