Thendic France: Post A-Expo Notes

1. Pricing for the Pegasos and Betatester
The Pegasos mainboard with 600 Mhz G3 (which is upgradeable AND scalable) will be sold to end-users for 560 Euros (no VAT) from Thendic-France or our Distributors/Resellers. Our prices to Resellers and Distributors are of course better and are based on volume. They are in business too. We need to support them and we will.
The G4 upgrade (800Mhz) can be purchased for less than 200 Euros and you will be able to do this well before the end of the year -- if you want (see on an earlier thread here for a discussion about this). You will see basic models of the Pegasos for less than 800 Euros (including tax and taking all the different country VATs into consideration) as GGS Data in Sweden is now offering and Vesalia will soon.

2. MorphOS
MorphOS gets better daily and we will delivered Betatester machines 127-133 this week. Betatester machines remain 1000 Euros because of the extras that come with it - the smart card reader, the wireless camera, and the DataPlay module - depending on what the individual Betatester is working on. Betatesters also get successively upgraded (as required/desired) to each version of the G4 and have FTP access to the latest ROM. The Betatester becomes the development machine for the eclipsis. The first peripherals will be distributed in Frankfurt at Betatester II on 12 October.

3. Linux
Further, every version of Linux for the PPC known has been installed and works fine on the Pegasos. We have been especially amazed by Mac-on-Linux. Sitting next to a G4 iMac you cannot tell the difference between the machines while running the same applications.

4. Show/Demonstration Schedule and Updates
a. For the Finnish Amiga Users Group the following individuals will be present:

Gerald Carda (bPlan)
Ralph Schmidt (bPlan)
