Add a 3DPT foot switch to make the A5000 a guitar effects pedal.

I'd like to get another OS4.x machine. I'm just not excited about the A1222+ for the performance/price as well as the compatibility issues. If the devs can get Aladdin4D or Lightwave running (even if slowly running), I'd be more likely to consider it.

I did not see POV among the graphics programs.

Component shortages and inflated component prices (MCU alone being 20x what it was quoted last year at this time) have put a project of mine in limbo. I feel for Trevor et al. The constant delays added to increased prices must be maddening.

@Capehill

I used an AlphaData glowing trackball on my A1200. I currently use a Kensington, being the closest thing to the AlphaData on the market.

In relation to Shoutcast, Tunenet also supports broadcasting. Is there a tutorial out there showing how to broadcast?

@LiveForIt

Why?

In my case, my wife had a lot of old Zip100/250 disks and MSDOS 720 and 1.44 floppies that she wanted backed up.

Unfortunately, I am still waiting on a system with real USB on the motherboard to use my Kryoflux to back up my old Amiga disks.

This of course brings up an inquiry from long ago in a thread far far away (which I can't find). Is it possible to use the XMOS and Xorro for 880/1.76 ffs and diskspare format Amiga disk I/O? I am sure XMOS is overkill for such I/O work, but at least it would be a use for it.

@mritter0

I've used a Zip100/250 drive with OS4.x. No problems at all. I seem to remember using the CrossDOS PC0 as well with no difficulty. It has been a long time since using either.

I made the animation in order to prove that old software is still very useful, and that we can be productive on NG systems. The only new software written specifically for OS4.x that I used was Digital Universe and FFShop. Almost everything else was old 68k software running under OS4.x Petunia or WinUAE.

In the 1990s, when I had an A4000/040, I could not conceive of animating such a project without additional hardware (VT4000, TBC, etc.). Processing thousands of frames with ImageFX and FFShop is much easier and faster nowadays on NG systems and emulated systems.

I somewhat wonder if my little animation had anything to do with A-Eon picking up both ImageFX and Aladdin for further development. Whether Trevor or Matthew were influenced or not, I'm glad they are updating the software so that someday I can do better animations.

@Hans

For the following animation, I used...

Rending Time and Space

ImageFX 4.5 Studio
Cinemorph 2.6
Aladdin 4D 5.1 Alpha 6 (only worked on pre OS4.1 update 6. Does not work under FE)
Digital Universe 1.7
FFShop 0.5

I also used the following on a PC.
Lyapunovia 1.5 under WinUAE
Moviemaker

@invent

It is good to hear that I am not the only one using a NG Amiga for art and animation.

@Marko

Final Edition Final Update

The 8^) is a smiley.

Edit: changed to DHTML 8^)

@Mikey C
FE Update 1 will not be an official release. They are waiting for Final Edition Final Update.

@Hans

Did anyone ever take up the tasks of integrating composite video and removing the memory trashing bugs?

Since it started after installing the Enhancer Plus software, I am assuming you had an existing installation of Candi. You may try removing the existing install and assigns. After removing it, try reinstalling the newest version from either the Enhancer Plus package, or your old Candi installation package.

When I installed the Enhancer Plus software, I skipped over the Candi install since I already had it on my system. I have not had any gurus from Candi.

@328gts

The last I heard from Discreet FX was when they sold the Aladdin 4D rights, source code, etc. to A-Eon.

Discreet FX had been working on a few indi films such as Oil Change. I don't know if they finished.

@thread

I just tried my work PC... internal hub... crud.

Would anyone be interested in a barely used Kryoflux?

@m3x

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, I'll have to find another solution. I'll see if I can back up my disks off of my work PC and Kryoflux.

@magnetic

I bought it directly from the Kryoflux site.

The Kryoflux support team has suggested that the AmigaOS 4.1 FE USB stack may be to blame. If so, they should warn against using 4.1 FE with the Kryoflux. Considering how the latest ACube firmware update made various keyboards incompatible, I am wondering if it is a USB hardware issue. I am still waiting for ACube to respond to my inquiry whether the motherboard USB headers are hubs or not.

If anything, I may try taking the Kryoflux to work along with my disks to try data recovery on my work PC... just don't tell the CT department that I'm doing it. 8^)

@magnetic

I've posted on the Kryoflux support forum, the Hyperion SAM460 support forum, and the ACube contact page. I posted here in case anyone has a similar setup that works (Kryoflux and SAM460ex).
