You must have meant that people are actually arguing that one motherboard is more Amiga-like than another motherboard. Wow. I didn't know arguments had devolved that far. I've always looked at things from a system perspective given my systems engineering background and such.
Agreed.
I think it's hard to say which board is more Amiga like and which not. Comparing them by refering to engineering/technical details is rather easy:
Pegasos: - has an older Articia chip revision - has a proprietary CPU slot design - has a firewire port but no apps/drivers/whatever, so useless - no G4 ATM and a slower G3 available - no OS4 (which is for _me_ one of the most important points) - is not produced anymore - only a few hundred units sold + the main OS (MorphOS) is available + upgrade path to Peg2 + is cheaper
AmigaOne - costs more, no OS4 until fall + has newer ArticiaS revision soldered and Eyetech has support from MAI + has a 300pin MegArray CPU slot which is used in latest Macs (you can plug a Sonnet, XLR8, Powerlogix CPU card for upgrading as long as the OS/BIOS/Northbridge supports the CPU type. I'm refering to G3/G4 not G5 ) + has more PCI slots (1 more I think) + sells better than Pegasos despite of the fact that no OS4 available AND more pricey. At least here in Germany according to KDH and PointDesign. + OS4 from a team 30+ of top notch software writers for Amiga
There might be some more points, so what do you guys think?
That's precisely what they were debating on A.org... Even given my lack of a system engineering background, I know that neither design is more than a 'PC' clone with a PPC processor.
