HURÁÁÁ!

Finally I place the payment.

I did the same as usual, only:
Firefox
- 1. tab opened link from browser, all cycled again and no payment, stays open
- 2. tab logged to my paypal
- 3. tab opened again the same link, cannot pay

then I closed paypal tab
on third tab I can finish the payment.

Magic or IT?
Please, don't do it to me next time. Such shock...

NOT WORKS!!!

I tried e-mail link, link from browser
tried Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, even Vayfarer on MorphOS
tried be logged to AMIStore, tried have opened checkout window, tried to be unlogged
tried be logged on AmiSphere on the sane PC with paypal
even tried tunnels to Nerherlands and Great Britain

simply, for me it not works!!!

? maybe special paypal setup ( I have no card connected )

A-EON - PLEASE, ARRANGE ALTERNATE PURCHASE/PAYMENT
( or special step-by-step foolproof steps for blondes )

I really want a NOVA Bridge!!!

I am not paying directly from AmiStore, but press "send email" button.
I received email with Paypal link.
And this going in circles and cannot pay.

And also not works wia browser and copy link

I second this. Just now I want to pay with Paypal NovaBridge,
and Paypal payment not works.
Final payment not executed and allways return to same page - with button"Pay".
My last Paypal transaction was week ago with no problems.

I am using two KVMs:

Gembird CAS441: 4x PS/2+VGA for older machines. Works perfectly everywhere.
Secomp DVI USB switch: 4x USB + DVI. Works in operating system, but during early boot ( firmware ) keyboard not detected, so I cannoct select U-Boot or OpenFirmware options.

I use also Aten 4port USB sharing device US424. ( no shared video). It wotks in OS, and partially in early firmeare boot - I have to very quick re-select proper device after reset.

So I also ask you, if you know KVM USB + DVI/HDMI working also in firmware, it will be super.

@kas1e
there is also MKShare tool on AMIStore. I am not tested but probably it is like Synergy. I.e. at least one Amiga ( with mouse and keyboard ) must be turn on.

I know, it is not exactly you want, but sometimes can help.

@K-L
I have Warp3D-SI. Its compatibility is not 100%. For example GLQake not works, and this one I often use for benchmarking, tests, comparing with MorpOS drivers.
And with AmigaOne XE Warp3D-SI is totally useless - crashed every application I tested.
So I am looking forward for better compatibility here.

@kas1e
Excellent review. Thank you!
I was missing exactly such infos.

For sure I will purchase NovaBridge for X1000 and Sam440ep-flex.
And now I have to test again AmigaOne XE ( grrrrr, finished it a week ago without Nova Bridge!). I hope compatibility will be better with Bridge.

@Hans, Mathew

Please, are there at least theoretic plan to release RadeonHD v.5 for Sam440ep-flex?

I have it ( together with DVPlayer and Emotion ) for my X1000 and it woks fine for HD videos, with low CPU utilization. But it is fair to tell that X1000 is powerfull enough to play HD videos on CPU only ( utilized upto 100% ) and for me gives a much more sense to have RadeonHD v.5 on Sam440ep-flex. On this machine for me also not works Polaris cards, so I should have HD7xxx.

I cannot imagine how complex is for example to modify Sam460ex version to Sam440 ( same core, different SoC components ), but if a betatester will be needed, one is here.

@kas1e ( and thread )

nice case modification!
Compact, small, nice - I should think on such modifications too, I am slowly running out of space

But in this case is not DVD. Yes, it is not much needed today, but I have a question:
Do you have experience with USB external DVD?
Can AmigaOS eject the CD with "eject" command?

Because MorphOS cannot do it with external USB DVDs. Only with IDE or SATA directly connected.
It probably have something with ATAPI simulation over USB.

this is great news!

I wonder if it will work also on Sam440ep-flex or even AmigaOne XE ( especially on XE is big problem with Warp3D-SI ).

Are there some more info about it? Speed, compatibility?
there is very short http://wiki.amiga.org/index.php?title=NovaBridge
and there https://keasigmadelta.com/blog/novabri ... bility-amiwest-2021-talk/ a little bit old

For sure it is a must-have on my X1000 ( and Sam440ep-flex, if it is compatible ) and on other computers - especially XE - I will test and see.

@Raziel

This number is real traffic test with TCPSpeed application, against my dual-xeon workstation.
20971520 bytes read, 40960 kB/s = 320 Mbps.

All 100 MbE NICs in my Amigas have 90 Mbps, AmigaOneXE (G4/800MHz) with 1GbE NIC has 140 Mbps.

Of course, such speed works with no CPU-hungry applications like FTP, wget, NetFS.
If you read for example crypted web pages with a lot of java script, CPU have a lot of work with this, so NIC speed goes down.
So speed is upto 320 Mbps.

And I am also not sure about AmiTCP speed, but I am looking forward for its routing ability. Roadshow lacks it ( and old MiamiDX had ). And bond / etherchannel will be also great. Especially for Sam440.

@kas1e
excellent video. Thanks!
X1000 is a great machine. My first AmigaNG was Pegasos 2 + MorphOS, but second was X1000 + AmigaOS. I like her.

RTL8139D will work, but it is 100 MbE only with real speed 90 Mbps. Far better is RTL8169 - this is 1 GbE, with real speed 320 Mbps on X1000.

Super! Thanks a lot.

@afxgroup

yes, static have the same symptoms. Settings OK, no traffic.
I also tried setup with addnetinterface and many variations of config. Including the Filter param.
It works on XE and not on Sam. Very strange.

And the most strange is that with one PCI card I can use rtl8169.device:0 and rtl8169.device:1 with the same results.

I have no other ideas. Maybe inspect the packets by Wireshark.
Or I try to made point-point network with other comp to exclude some ARP issues.

No Sam440 1GbE user here?

P.S. I corrected the debug output above - is better readable now.

no succes.
I tried also working card from A1 XE.
It received IP address but no traffic. I can ping only own address, and not ping others, even not my gateway.



All in log is OK, same as in Ranger.
In Router I see the lease also correctly.

And One more strange thing:
I can use both rtl8169.device:0 and rtl8169.device:1 with only single card! Strange!
With rtl8169.device:2 it generates error "canot open.." as expected.
But what about rtl8169.device:1 ???

Cannot be there some mismatch with Sam440 internal NICs? There are two, 0 and 1.

There are also nvenvars in Uboot:
ethaddr = MAC of sam unit 0
eth1addr= MAC of sam unit 1
ethact=ppc_4xx_eth0 ... what is it?
probably this is NIC what Uboot using. But can be it connected with AmigaOS selected NIC?

@Raziel

thank you, I will try the "id=", maybe it helps.

I was surprised, because even on AmigaOne XE it works OOTB. And XE is very picky with PCI cards.
And all my computers are in the same VLAN, on the same switch, connected to router ( which gaves DHCP responses )

@Raziel

thank you for info.
Please, can you share your exact type of RX560?

I will take the most tested card - RX560.
And than I will wait for very-low-price of RX580 and 590

X1000 + HD 7970 default.cfg, timedemo = 13.6 FPS
Sam440ep-flex + R9 270X default.cfg + renderer=arb = 4.3 FPS

finally I finish testing of AmigaOne XE and can return graphics card to my Sam.

@HunoPPC
it was only quick test, and till 15th November I will not be at home. But after that I try to adjust Sam's .cfg if it change something.


P.S. Autoexec.cfg placed in /demo have no effect to timedemo (at least screen resolution)
It have to be placed to /base and it works also for timedemo.

Hi,

is still RX560 the fastest card for X1000?

I want to change from HD 7970 ( start to have some glitches ) to RX and I need some powerful.

And do somebody know if Huno's Doom3 works on X1000+RX ?

thanks!
