The bulk of the work on the pegasos port was performed by Dale Rahn, this work |

of Genesi. |
| |
They claimed to have used up all of the company funding and were over 3 months |
| |
behind in payment, 'We will get a big contract/sale any day'. |
| |
At that point it was no longer possible for the developer to live without |

payment, so he stopped active work on pegasos and searched for other employment. |

it was announced that pegasos support would be dropped. |
