BBRV said: (topic:Pegasos/MorphOS graphic boards compat..)
/*We are certainly making serious progress. We shipped a large amount of Open Desktop Workstations this week. We know lots of people are waiting for boards. They are coming as is MorphOS 1.5. We still have a few things to clear up, but we are getting there.*/
Well it didńt say new boards so I guess I might have been mistaken. But they mentions new cpu cards also (the text is much more than this). Check it out. |

Thread split, new one is "Questions about Linux on Pegasos" in the "Linux - BSD etc *nix" forum.
Some of the messages belong partly in both threads so I will try to cut'n' paste the relevant text to get it all right... just hang on |

Yes but things go slow in "fighting the rest of the world to keep the PPC on the desktop" land! Maybe the new cpu cards will be released in 2008 before christhmas! 1.7 ghz G4! That would be da bomb!; I do hope for the best though.
Seeing how much effort that has gone into the Ambient sources since they were opened still makes me think MOS would be better of as opensource. It should be free! Like a butterfly!
Morph it with Aros and you got a winner!
Now somebody tell me which textfile I add mounting commands to in Linux! My windowsXP is down, RIP until my microsoft certified cousin will have a look at it. And I need my files! Its funny, linux boots from the harddrive and windows claims there is no harddrive! |

Okidoki, here are the parts of some messages in the new thread that belonged here:

@d.olen
About BBRV and new CPU cards etc, where did he post it, I just like to read it and I can't find the thread on MorphZone. Becasue I would like an upgrade on the CPU if I would pegasos. USB 2 is not hard to fix but the CPU upgrade would be nice.
----------

@D. Olen
As ironfist said that post is old...
But I know that BBRV has stated somewhere about that he could have found a market for MorphOS at a later date.
@All
Sorry to bring this thread out from Topic I think it was about Ambient right? I personally think that the progress the ambient team has shown is a good sign that open source MorphOS could be very good. Of course they don't need to use GPL...

About Ambient as open source:
I would like to say, that the choice David Gerber made in releasing Ambient as open source, was a very good choice compared to putting the Ambient project in the trashcan which I imagine was his other choice to do.
Today Ambient is maintained by a very talent team, and they are making very good progress, for being such small team, and do have alot of various ideas in mind. It is a interesting project in my opinion.
About MorphOS:
The MorphOS team, did release 4, or if it was 5, new releases/updates during the last year (2005). This releases is completely free of charge for anyone to use. Noone paid anyone anything for releasing any of them.
The releases was:
# MorphOS PowerUP - complete MorphOS 1.4.5 system for Amiga PPC, including 3D-support.
# MorphOS 3D - 3D software for MorphOS including support for Radeon graphicsboard up to 9250, which make MorphOS inline to whats available also in Linux as for 3D support.
# 2 or 3 updates of various system components in the MorphOS system.
Not bad from a small team I would like to say.
If you, or anyone else, would like to support MorphOS (or any software project related to MorphOS), its possible to do donations.
About subject - It is to read in the subject.

By the way...
@gunne
Do you include the ambient.catalog file when it's needed in the new ambient compiles now? The last version I tried without one totally messed up my Ambient menus. I'm not sure I actually fixed that yet (I haven't spent so much time with my computers lately) |

BlackEagle,
No, no catalog files have been included. And, I know about this with menues. Its the way it is when using - the cvs version - it is work in progress. For quoting itix then, please consider the cvs version to be a 0 day commit...
Just change to use, the default, english language, and menues will be correct.
But I consider doing a compilation including everything, also catalog files. |

Order of catalog strings have changed so old catalog doesnt work anymore. Recompiling catalog(s) should be enough. You get english strings for non-translated items, though. |
