Of course. Go to icon information and change type to 'Trashcan', then load default icon and then you can use empty trash command on the .recycled drawer as you would normally I guess?

@Daniel

Did a search and downloaded SFSformat from Aminet, done the job, .recycled gone, decided it was probably going to be annoying when backing up data and not really needed.

Noticed my Workbench partition is SFS/02, but have read elsewhere AmigaOS won't boot from SFS/02 only SFS/00 yet seems to be working fine here?

What command line do I need to enter in shell to format DH2: with NORECYCLED? This may well be a silly question!

@Phantom

One thing I noticed since installing JXFS is the HD seems much noiser than before, let me know if you notice a similar change? Also wonder if the extra CPU overhead is worth it.

It's worth pointing out that you need to set the blocksize to 512 when you choose JXFS as the filesystem in MediaToolbox, otherwise the drive won't be mounted.

Anyone know what is the best blocksize for SFS\02, noticed my Workbench partiion is 2048, while AmiCygnix is 1024? not if that was by accident or design now.

@Phantom

I've recently started using JXFS on 3 partitions and seems to work fine for me, changed to be able to run UFOAI game (for some reason doesn't run from SFS partitions).

Each partition has a .recycled drawer which stores deleted files which I find quite handy, would be nice if this were integrated with the OS trashcan system somehow.

Noticed a USB touchscreen driver has been released on OS4Depot...

http://os4depot.net/share/driver/input/egalaxtouch4a.lha

Supports eGalax touchscreens, but struggling to find anywhere to buy one in the UK, anyone?

Would be interesting to try out and might be quite nice to use with AMC when released.

Anyone tried out this driver yet?

@ChrisH

Thanks for this guide, Payback is a great game. Anyone tried the iOS version?

@trixie

So far AmiCygnix seems smoother than before, especially scrolling more complicated documents in AbiWord. Placebo effect maybe?

The Sam440ep_setup patch released onto OS4Depot seems to have more than doubled the video bus read result on my Sam440ep-flex...

@Kicko

It's a great utility, wish I had discovered it sooner! Pleased to see an update on OS4Depot too.

@sundown

Thanks, seems to work great so far! Pretty easy to use too, excellent tool.

Been looking for a tool that I can use to extract the audio from mp4 files to create audio files, e.g. mp3, but not yet found what I'm looking for on OS4Depot.

Particularly interested in getting audio from mp4 files, but any similar tools for other formats would be useful. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Just noticed the ACA 630 has been added to the amigakit.com inventory, looks like a fantastic upgrade...

http://www.jschoenfeld.com/products/ACA630_e.htm

The A600 has always been my favourite classic (also my first Amiga). Think I'm going to have to pick up an A600 now to get one of these babies. Wonder if anyone will ever build a PPC board for the A600?

@RNS-AMiGA-Club

Welcome!

@phoenixkonsole

Sounds good, some kind of E-UAE plugin would be nice

@amigakit

Looks like a nice board, very small card too for an accelerator. 64MB is plenty of memory on a classis 030 too.

Very interested to see the A600 version, always wanted one of the Apollo 030 cards for A600 but very hard to get hold of compared to A1200 accelerators.

Tempted to pick up a classic system on eBay now.

@phoenixkonsole

Looks like a nice app and fills a gap too. Can't wait!

@djrikki

Internet Prefs...

It's not as daunting as it looks to set up, OS does most work for you if using DHCP, the windows let you play with the detail if you want to.

Will add something to wiki on this.

@Crisot

Found a few differences in my system's results with this new version, for example L1 write cache seems much lower than before...
