That may not even be needed. Amiga Documents has just translated a hit piece on Trevor -- which is way over the top IMO -- but did contain an interesting tidbit. He may already have joint ownership of AOS4.

I really hate articles like this trying to insinuate Trevor is part of some evil conspiracy with Ben, etc. If he does have joint ownership -- or will if Hyperion goes bankrupt -- I can hardly think of better hands.

@Kamelito

Any of the RadeonRX cards will do nicely. Unfortunately I don't have more than one to test, but perhaps Trevor or others can contribute information. We could compare FPS numbers with some games.

@balaton

Yes, however, I don't think the A1222 changes are available anywhere. Not sure if Trevor owns it or Matthew or both (as A-EON).

@root

Thank you -- both of those suggestions worked!

@sailor

I hope you're enjoying your new A1222+. I found mine to be faster than my Pegasos II in real-world use, which was surprising to me. Of course that excludes anything hitting the FPU emulation.

I'd be curious if this has been your experience as well. I even ran some benchmarks on the two systems to verify my "gut" feelings on this comparison and they (mostly) confirmed it: http://eliyahu.org/tabor/benchmarks.html

@walkero

Just grabbed the latest version and it works great on the A1222 and X5000. I do have two questions -- apologies if these have been answered elsewhere:

1. How can I set a different directory for the left-pane instead of PROGDIR?
2. How can I disable the 'animation' or smooth-scrolling behavior when scrolling through a file?

Interesting thought. The change in server backend and layout was the main reason I stopped being a moderator there, actually. It just wasn't the same.

@AMIGASYSTEM

We'd hate to lose you. Just remember that the moderators had no ill intent, and certainly wouldn't consider you a troll.

@joergQuote:
I worked very hard to clean up amiga.org, and for a while, it was a nice place again. The downside is that once the trolling is squashed, people who abandoned the forum because of the bad behavior don't return, even when sent emails, etc.

AWN can be cleaned up, but will become very quiet, very quickly. The trolls won and now it's just the same fifteen people writing the same opinions over and over again, all trying to show how much more intelligent they are than the other guy. It's a terrible shame. I used to really enjoy AWN.

I enjoy this site, too, and really don't want the focus changed. But I also enjoy hearing about AROS, so I hope they'll continue to post here in the 'Free for All' forum.

Looks like the page is now up to order the A1222+ motherboard at EUR1199 (including VAT). For US customers, or any country outside the EU, the price should be less.

No, but distributor AAA Technology has mentioned this on Discord, so I'm taking them at their public word.

Same here. The archive does not exist on the server at present.

@thread

With orders for the A1222+ about to be taken shortly, I thought I'd revisit this thread. I've been trying to keep my QuickStart Guide for the A1222 updated over the past few months, so if you only visited it back in July, give it another shot. There are some new sections and the lists have expanded.

If anyone has curiosity about a piece of software or game that's not on my lists, or a topic regarding the system you don't think I've covered in the various sections of the Guide, please let me know.

For additional material you can also check out my two-part article on the A1222 in Amiga Future magazine issues 164 and 165. Get 'em while copies last!

I like it quite a bit, although there are some big caveats. The internal viewer is painfully slow to load large images, the HTML gallery creator frequently crashes, and I get the occasional freeze when using the preferences tool.

All that said there really is no other photo manager like it on AmigaOS, and it's not expensive, so I think it's worth it.

-- eliyahu

@Gregor

If you're looking for just the ability to cycle through your photos, try WarpView. I use it all the time. I also use AmiPhoto for my personal photos. That having been said, something is really wrong with your system. I've never had issues viewing JPEG files with MultiView -- although, admittedly, I use the WarpJPG datatype.

@joerg

That's perfect! That's all I needed. Thank you very much for the link.

@thread

I had my reasons for asking this, but it looks like there are no parms I can set anywhere. Thanks for your answers.

-- eliyahu

Currently any AmigaOS 4 system is capable of emulating system-friendly 68K programs via either the interpretative or JIT emulation layers. Both present the system with as having a 68020 with a 68881/2 FPU. Is there any way to change that? Can the system appear to a program to be a 68000? Or a 68030? Or to not have an FPU?

-- eliyahu

@Paul

I wonder what is different from my systems and yours. On both my X5000 and A1222 PageStream 5.0.3.3 simply freezes immediately after launching. No Grim Reaper, just a freeze.

Maybe there's a beta component that broke it? The old 68K 4.1.5.6 works just fine on both systems....

-- eliyahu

@walkero

I can confirm the same inability to establish any connections with NetSurf on my X5000 and A1222, despite being able to use Odyssey and other Internet tools just fine.
