@xeron

And how do you do this? Two different partition or two harddrives? Do you select wich drive you want to launch via Early Startup Menu (Right and left mousebutton upon reset).

If you have two harddrives, can you access the second no matter wich OS you prefer to run?

More Questions:

Is it possible to have "dual" boots. One with f.i. OS3.x and one with OS4.0. Some old stuff, like games and such will not run under OS4.0. I read that there was some problems with WHDLoad. Can I use ONE HD for Dualboot or do I need two separate hds?

How much diskspace does a "normal" OS4 installation need?

Way better then on AmigaOne, because you have custom chips and we do not.


After reading some lines from Rogue (developer? of os4) it seems like the 680x0 processor is being shut down and is no more in use. That wont happen to the custom chips?

I think you should not upgrade because of the 680x0 software, but because PowerPC software runs many times faster and more secure.


Good point there.

Hello!

I am one of those who have a Classic Amiga with a PPC-board. According to Hyperion, AmigaOS4 is soon ready to be released for classic Amiga.

Is it worth upgrading to OS4? I am currently using OS3.9 / Kick3.1.

My PPC setup is 210mhz (i think) and I have 256 mb fastmem with Mediator and Voodoo3.

Classic amigas that uses the 680x0 processor have a huge amount of tools/utilities and programs downloadable from AmiNET. OS4 doesnt support 680x0 processors. How compatible will the "emulation" be with old 680x0 software (f.i. Kick 2.0 -> ).

Is it worth the trouble getting OS4 or should I wait until Amiga Inc. (or other developers) releases new hardware?

Gretings AmiGubbe.

Edit:

I am sorry, I wrote this in the wrong forum. Can someone move it to the correct place?
