Really good news. I am looking forward to it.

@LiveForIt

Sad. The strange thing is that my LS120 works perfectly in my A1 but has serious compatibility problems with Windows XP. Now that is something unusual.

@Thread

Now that AmigaOS 4 has floppy support via the A1floppy.device shouldn?t it be possible to write a mountlist to use Amiga floppies in LS120?s? I have tried myself but the closest I have come is that I get the message that there is no disc in the device when I try to access the floppy after mounting.

The strange thing is that the original LS120-driver has the same behavior when I insert an Amiga floppy. Shouldn?t it just complain about it not being a dos disk? It is like it is just not in the LS120. Or maybe it is a hardware problem? Maybe the firmware in the LS120 doesn?t support Amiga floppies?

I have another strange problem with WarpView. I know that my Radeon 9100 wasn?t supported in update 4 and I got the same message as MichaelMerkel when trying to run it. But I thought that I should test it in OS4 final.

Now it starts but when I load a picture it gets all distorted with a lots of triangels flashing over the image. I guess my graphics card is still not supported. The strange thing is that WarpView tries to load the picture at all.

(I have ordered a Radeon 9250 now).

@ZeroG:

Yes, that is probably the one. Sad that it doesn't work with Amiga diskettes.

But if I am not mistaken it has been done on classic Amigas. There is even a mountlist on Aminet for that purpose. Isn?t there anyone on this forum who have used that mountlist on a classic Amiga? So that we can work out if it is at all possible on any platform I mean.

But AmigaOS 4 detects PC- and LS120-floppies as floppy disks (they have the diskette icon). So the support can?t be all gone.

I am wondering if anyone is trying, or have been trying, to make a mountlist for a LS120-drive for AmigaOS 4 so it can load diskettes that work in classic Amigas. There are obviously a mountlist on Aminet which makes it possible for you to use a LS120 together with ordinary Amiga diskettes on classic Amigas. That mountlist doesn?t work on AmigaOS 4 for some reason.

I have a LS120 drive installed in my AmigaOne and it reads PC-formatted diskettes and 120 Mb diskettes just fine. Shouldn?t it be able to read Amiga diskettes too with the right settings in a mountlist or is there some reason to why that is impossible?

Unfortunately I don?t have enough knowledge about mountlists and filesystems to try to construct the mountlist myself.

@Valiant

I had a CD32 a long time ago. One of my favorite games was Universe. Especially the music gives it a good atmosphere.

I would happily pay for a nice package. I hope there will be a lowered price for us who took the early bird offer though (and all others who have already paid for AmigaOS 4 to be included with their AmigaOne).

@AmigaPapst
I have a Radeon 9100. Thanks for the tip but I was hoping to order from within Sweden.

@neon32:

The AmigaOne motherboard has a universal AGP-port (at least the XE, I have never seen a micro).

The problem is that it outputs 3.3v only so it would not be wise to try a card that only supports 1.5v (AGP 4x) or 0.8v (AGP 8x) as I did. Radeon 9500 and Radeon 9700 does support 3.3v as they are universal cards so they should work fine in an AmigaOne.

The Radeon 9600 and 9800 series are also supposed to support 3.3v but that is obviously dependent on which company who manufacture them. There are people who uses Radeon 9600?s and 9800 in their AmigaOnes as you can see on Inuitionbase.com (of course only in 2D yet).

@AmigaPapst:
Yeah, I was on the hunt for a Radeon 9000pro or a 9200 but it seems as they are really hard to find (at least here in Sweden), especially a Radeon 9000pro. I would prefer that as it is the fastest card currently supported by Warp3D.

But if the most graphics intensive games available for the AmigaOne doesn?t demand more than a Radeon 9250 I will have to settle with that for now. Radeon 9250?s are really just marginally slower than a Radeon 9000/9200.

@Jurassicc & Outcast:
The reason to why I am scrapping my Radeon 9100 is that it is not supported by Warp3d and who knows, the same bug that causes it to not work in Warp3D might be there in Mesa/OpenGL for AmigaOS 4 too.

Here I go:


Hardware:
AmigaOne G4XE, 256 Mb, Radeon 9100, Soundblaster 128, Sii0680
Operating System:
AmigaOS 4 update 4
Filesystem:
FFS
TCP/IP stack:
Roadshow
Browser(s):
IBrowse (registered), AWeb
Email software:
Simplemail
Chat software:
Epistula (only the MSN plugin)
Virus software:
None but I have the A1 connected to Internet via a hardware firewall.
Do you use PGP with your emails:
No (I don?t even know what it is).
Extra info/other software used online:
I used to use Amaya but it doesn?t work any longer with the latest x11 update on my system

Yes, that?s what I have been doing lately.

I guess I?ll have to buy a Radeon 9200 or 9250 as the fan issue is getting worse all the time. I just expect it to stop working any minute now. The card sounds really bad at startup and the entire motherboard is vibrating. That is why I haven?t used my AmigaOne as often as I would like lately.

@poweramiga: I guess your 9800 works with 3.3v. My Radeon 9600XT from Sapphire didn?t output any picture at all. I think it is because it didn?t support 3.3v. But after what I have read on the Internet I can consider myself lucky that nothing broke on the graphics card.

The reference card from ATI supports 3.3v but obviously not all other brands.

If I am not completely wrong AmigaOS 4 final should have support for more graphics card via Mesa/OpenGL. Is there anyone here who can say if cards like Radeon 9500 or 9700 will be supported? Or is revealing such information a violation of the NDA?

The reason to why I wonder is that I have a Radeon 9100. I bet that the card is supported by the new 3D-drivers but the fan is giving up and rather than replacing the fan I am planning to buy a new graphics card. All the cards currently supported by Warp3D is slower than a Radeon 9100 and I was hoping to get a faster card.
