system was perfectly stable under update 1. now i can't even delete files in workbench without fearing a lockup.

@walkero

Yes, installed on a clean sam460ex. All I can say is, it was very stable before. Now it's not.

Wonderful to have a new update after so long... but did anyone bother to test it? In first half an hour of usage:

1) system lock up when pasting from CLI to clipboard
2) system lock up 50% of time initiating any delete with asyncWB
3) on bootup, often a random one of my disks will be missing. need to reboot, or rather, restart amigaos, to make it come back
4) Ami Update is still a piece of shit

well that depends on the filesystem you use. CDROM filesystems are read only aren't they?

diskimage?

What's the risk of trying? None I think.

The card I use is low profile but I'm not sure there are any low profile cards at the higher spec end

I have a 460ex with Radeon 6450 (AMD Sapphire). For sure you will need at least version 2.22 driver that comes with Enhancer Plus - the Radeon HD v1 driver 'worked' but did not take advantage of card features. There is a compatibility list web page here http://hdrlab.org.nz/projects/amiga-o ... er-hardware-compatibility and Hans answers emails if you have a unique question.

On my card VGA and DVI output worked but not HDMI, this is a common issue.

@khayoz

LOL yes I had that too. Of course, Matthew deny it's a problem and blames the user.

@graff

Ah well it booted fine before I put a card in the main PCI slot, although I didn't have anything plugged into the SATA connector at all. But it was enabled in firmware and with the jumper.

Anyway I guess this is all moot. I have a SATA card to use if I need SATA. I have added wifi for convenience. I can't think of anything else I need since fortunately the board is graced with so many USBs.

@noXLar

BTW it also came with that SATA card but I don't have anything to plug into it so I'm not using it. What's it for anyway? All modern devices are SATA2/SATA3 right?

@m3x

OK that's what I thought except yesterday I couldn't get the machine to boot with a card in the middle slot, until i disabled the onboard SATA.

Yes I read the manual. Which one is the mutually exclusive port? the one on the left or the one in the middle?

p.s. i don't use SATA at all, USB all the way

My question is which one is the pci 1 ?

Anyone know can I put a SATA2 / 3 PCIE card in the x1 slot and it will just work??

There are 3 PCI slots in the Sam 460 ex right? Two long ones and one short one. The gfx card goes in the right most slot (looking at the front of the board with the backplane facing away).

Then there's a full size one in the middle. Then there's a little one on the left.

Is it the middle one that can't coexist with the SATA? Or the little one on the left?

I ask because today I installed a 3com wifi card into the middle slot, and OS4 wouldn't boot until i removed the J16 jumper and set the uboot to PCI mode, and then it worked fine. Until I did that, it locked up each time I got to the point where uboot hands off to OS4 after loading the kickstart.

Thanks yes it seems to look like that... are there any of the optional settings that you recommend to turn on?

@Tuskagee

What card is that?

Maybe, you tell me! Is it low profile?
