I know the feeling my A1 died back around 2010.
I finally got a new one and things have changed a bit, i have changed to the faster sata drives card etc having probs booting cant find slb etc.
Put old drive in it works the old drive formatted ffs the new sfs0 i think i have to change it to ffs to make it work just the boot partition is that correct anyone ?

@pvanni
Yup your right changed to sfs and its booting fine so sfs2 is not a bootable filesystem

@All

Today i got a new sii3112 controller board and sata 1tb drive all seems to work with old drive plugged in but cant boot from the sata drive its found in uboot have slb etc but i formatted it as sfs2 is that ok ?
it tries to boot it in uboot finds slb then fails saying cant find settings any ideas ?

also made DH0: 4.5g is that ok too

ok thanks guys looks like its a 9000 pro with as much gfx ram as i can find hopefully 256meg on board

Ok guys what is the absolute best GFX card i can buy for my A1 that is fully supported ? im rebuilding the A1 from scratch going to sata drives have 2g ram working

Can we use the x800 x1600 agp cards in the A1 ?

@logicalheart

Thanks guys that did the trick nice and fast now :) i take it that its because of the 9800pro not being supported with 3D ?

@Antique
where do i find that ?

@Raziel
it shows up in screenmode prefs fine just very slow while trying to move windows around in 4.1 only if booted into os4 it is super responsive
i think ill just wait till 4.1 final comes then try again

unfortunately both my 9000 cards have failed only have the 9800 left running :( ill give the DDCMODE a go later

@Raziel
Hmm cant seem to post images

Picasso96 crashes everytime i try to set a gfx card in 4.1 the windows are slow like slow motion what could that be ?

@Hans
Looking forwards to 4.1 final :)

were 3d drivers ever written for the 9800pro/256m for the A1 ?
or do i have put the 9000/64m back in it ?
Also i have 2gig of ram running in my A1 working without issues :)

Whats the best file system to be using ?

i boot either by taking one out so its one drive only at a time

Hi guys i am back with a working A1 have a drive with my old OS4 on it with fastfile system
another drive with OS4.1 running on SFS the fast file sysyem runs nice and quick but the other is slow loading copying etc also the wb is sluggish any ideas?
the OS4 is fast all round

can we use cards out of macs ?

I really need to get my A1 back up and running its been out of action for 3years now :( just been too busy to do it this thread has reignited my desire to get it going again :)

Happy new year to all :)
