Thanks for the info, I will follow the advice for a while (untill whatever comes first, the repair service or queue big enough here of ppl willing to experiment on their own to actually produce an order that is big enough to be checked out with cpus resellers)


@tonyw:

Huge thanks for the table you talked about, it realy clears the confusion up. So it looks like the info issue is resolved now.

You need to do some catch up with the news, IBM do not produce things for common ppl anymore. And they products aren't that higly priced when you consider the build/design quality (just peek inside one of their products, being a p-series server or small form factor PC. In the old days the same stinkin' PS2 system, although being a joke compared to these days' amigas, their desing was very nice (access to parts inside the case etc)

I'd stay far, far away on this and wait on new hardware to come out.


I waited a whole year for replacement modules to materialize. And I can't afford a whole new system.
And if it won't work my A1 won't become more dead than it now, it's not as if I was talking to make a working A1 faster.

Jack, did you get on to PowerAmiga? He runs his machine at a good clip and might have the data you need. Also Excalibur (aw.net) might have the same data. If you can't get in contact with either of them, PM me and I'll email them.


Tried to pm both the day you mentioned them first, now emailed PowerAmiga. Also posted the question on AW.
That 1250MHz option looks very viable. 200US$ + 55$ on reflow (professional one)+postage makes it look like bargain.
The only thing that'll stop me is new module from Adam (or whoever is going to release one).

@acefnq (and anyone who got is wrong)

Warning: I'm talkng about real 1250 and 1400 megahurts G4s, not the ones shipped with A1XE. It is not an overclocking thread...

Can anyone confirm this? The choice is between 7455@1250MHz (200US$) and 7455@1000MHz (150US$) replacement cpus.Couldn't find the 1400MHZ version (although it was produced).


Thanks in advance,

This would be really slow solution


If you strip all the vnc/networking related stuff, most of the overhead will be gone. Afair, classic amiga is quite cabable to be usable with vnc (yes , I know that the framerate isn't high at all and not the whole image is transferred all the time). Maybe it is possible to dump the vnc-produced data and then convert it to standard clip...

One could also perform a simple screenshot hooked to timer loop, but that requires to see what framerate the slowerst OS4 hardware is capable of and how much cpu does it use. There's no point in hogging the system repeated screengrabbing and not allowing other apps to produce anything to grab. Constant framerate is essential.

Another thought is an option to hoot ko ahi and produce audio stream as well. Then using mplayer/mencoder merge the stuff and apply loosy compression.

Just for general knowledge:
IRIX (Silicon Graphics) has such a functionality built-in into OS.

Constructive suggestion:
vncserver can grab the desktop and transmit the image via network, so maybe using this mechanism without the "smart update" functionality the thing can be done?

shownetstatus reported the correct local host address (I had configured my router to assign always 192.168.0.5 to my microA1 on the LAN side of the firewall) and correct default gateway. However, it showed DUPLICATE DNS server entries. I did not statically configure any DNS servers, but let DHCP set them up, and shownetstatus gave me a list of 6 DNS servers, with the last 3 being duplicates of the first 3. The server addresses themselves were correct.


I had the same issue with pre3 on A1X\EG4. Reported it to Friedens then and went static. The other side of the cable was a switch.

You could try asking Excalibur or PowerAmiga, they should have the data.


Hmm, thanks for the pointer, gone to ask.

@Raziel

Thanks for the pdf, that's the file. Unfortunately there's no description of multiplier dip switches. Thans for the pdf anyway. I should have put it on CD when A1 was alive.

@DJBase

Thanks for the pointer

@Raziel
Now the relevant news: highest possible the max speed of the A1G4 module is 1066MHz. That limits the choise of cpus to get for reflow to 1000MHz ones.

[Solved]A1XE hardware docs or info needed
Quite a regular
Quite a regular


Hi all

I am looking for info on A1XE or board docs pdf . I have one that came with the board itself (directory "boarddocs" on the Eyetech's install cd). Afair, there's a newer version that was made public or to the dev list only. I remember having it on my A1 hd, but A1 is dead.
What I need is list of all available clock multiplier settings (boarddocs on cd lists upto x5 afaik) and if possible the pdf file itself.

Any help will be appreciated,
Jack

It will most probably work, as you can see in my first post,
the "workaround" was to completely remove the atan2()
function and it works. But this is nothing the ScummVM devs
will use in their code, casue it will break other builds
most surely.


It won't break the build unless they remove the flag. You can patch the function internally anyway then.
