It's a good amiga year The United Sides of Amiga
I feel more surprises to come another huge port.
I'm saving up my $US399!

Do we have a feel for how many Peg2s were sold during their shelflife? I've always been a fan of the HW - a pretty decent put together piece of kit I always thought...

Are they like rocking horse pooh to find/buy on the market 2nd hand?

One last question, what was the reason for phasing out, was it the dreaded RoHS legislation?

Rude!

P.S. I quite like it here

Wow...almost makes me wish I'd never sold the Peg 2.... a MOS2.x release and an OS4.x release ... ah well, c'est la vie!

Yes.

And that's also the reason to why you can't simply start up a production run and make a new batch. They made a final production run before the RoHS laws came in effect, stocked up a stash of motherboards, and the last one was sold sometime late 2006.

This is very good news!

I've just ordered a copy of os4 for my peg2, i hope i'll get it soon

Well, I've MOS 2.1 on my PEG1 and OS4.1 on my A1SE (similar setup, ECC RAM, 8500LE,same hdd,...), even if the A1SE got a tiny better bench over the Peg1, 4.1 isn't efficient and stable as 2.x, it's even more true with good old apps and games.

> Hyperion release now Amiga OS4.1 for Pegasos II.

...and soon for Pegasos I as well? Trevor Dickinson says:

"I purchased a A1-XE and became an AmigaOS4.x beta tester. I am also a beta tester for Pegasos I&II"

...and also at Amiwest, which took place before the publication of that interview:

http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=32683&forum=2#588297

From his speech (45:25):

"[OS4 for] Pegasos I never really got off the ground."

So it seems he just misused present tense in the interview, unfortunately.

What a great way to provide information and answers!

Your style of being helpful is appreciated and much more effective than providing a link to a thread that has a link to another thread, which has a link to another thread, that has a vague answer to the original question, or a response to the original statement. Probably saves you time and certainly saves the reader time.

> providing a link to a thread that has a link to another thread,
> which has a link to another thread

...is still much better than providing nothing at all so that the reader would "have to wade through 100s of posts and [polls] at AW" :-)

> that has a vague answer to the original question, or a response
> to the original statement.

...but instead has a specific answer or response to the question or statement the link is contextually (by means of clicking the proper reply button and quoting the related question or statement) put as a reply to.

Those are your opinions.

I do not agree with them.

> Those are your opinions.

Yes, obviously.

> I do not agree with them.

Could you be more specific?
