Pictures from the Pegasos 2 - a slightly different Christmas story...

"Four against Murphy" or how the Pegasos 2 made it at least against all odds for Christmas:

At that time there was the order by Genesi that all already produced Pegasos 2 boards should be shipped until Christmas. And this Pegasos shipping 2 was the first at all.

So Gerald Carda and Thomas Knäbel from Oberursel went to Oberhausen, to DCE where the Pegasos 2 should be produced when the plain circuit boards should arrive there.

But there were no boards... TNT sent the boards to "DK" not to "DE" and now they had to be moved from Denmark to the right destination. Two worthful days went by...

But not enough, Murphy not satisfied yet - there was potential for more things going wrong. And seeesh!!! - a soldering machine went broke and needed a repair!

Holy evening approached and the question was not if something else might go wrong but what it will be this time. The answer came quicker than hoped: just on the first day of production one of the SMD machines left synchronity...

But Thomas and Gerald just kept the track and with the help of the whole DCE team the sailed through all these problems!

But: Worthful time was lost and the board production lasted till the afternoon of the 23rd...

Also the programmers were busy all day and night and worked coordinated by Ralph Schmidt on the new firmware and on fitting MorphOS 1.4.1 to the Pegasos 2. André Siegel had hands full of work with making the 61 page manual perfect and let it translate with two fellows to German and French.

The last day before Christmas Eve! How should the boards go on their journey just in time? Sure: His Pegasos 2 boards share Guido Does by Vesalia picked up just at the production site - but what shoud be done with the orders of the other customers?

Then Christian Kemp surprisingly came along offering his help - coming from his home in Luxembourg he offered to make a 600 km trip to bring the boards from DCE, Oberhausen to Ron van Herk, Rotterdam just that evening so that the boards could be sent to all the world an December the 24th.

So it came the day of Christmas Eve Christian and Ron supported by his wife Cindy packed Christmas packets with mainboards, CPU cards, slot panels, manuals and self burned and printed MorphOS CDs and brought them on their way.

At least Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco were able to announce the good news at morpos-news.de: UPS just got the boards intended for Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Belgium, Hungary, the Netherlands, Spain, Canada, Turkey, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Luxembourg, the UK and the USA - including Hawaii.

The following pictures may be used as evidence that the Pegasos 2 boards are really produced and sent away:

The Shipping: In the beginning there was chaos...

...but at least...

...and one by one...

...it was fullfilled by Christian and Ron:

The boards ready to go at ComputerCity in Rotterdam.

Merry Christmas!

Jens Schönfeld (ANF) Christmas greetings from Coyote Flux and individual Computers
Merry Christmas from a new team in the Amiga market: Coyote Flux and individual Computers are working together on a basis of a contract that has been signed on October 1st, 2003.

The young programmer-team also has a new website under www.coyoteflux.nl. The two brothers Sharwin and Rakesh Raghoebardayal became famous in the Amiga community for various projects like PPC680x0 (a 68K to PowerPC assembly translator), the sound editing system Coyotesound, photogrammetry software J Miner and more high-quality software.

Individual Computers is known for many hardware products for Amiga computers, specialized PC hardware and retro-computing projects. Serving private customers and professionals like the US computer forensic department of defense, individual Computers mass-produces own designs, and does contract work for other parties.

With more than 50 years combined experience and detailled knowledge about the target markets, the newly formed team is geared towards development of new hard- and software applications. The sales and marketing contacts of individual Computers will make the products available worldwide in more than 40 countries.

The first project of this cooperation is Kickflash OS4. Coyote Flux provided the firmware of the product that has been sent to the resellers yesterday. We hope that all users of classic Amigas will enjoy a fast cold-start time of their computers with this product, and are looking forward to more projects in the near future.

In time for the Christmas days, the toplevel domain server problems in Gabon have been resolved. Our domain http://ami.ga is working again. (nba)
