Amithlon

[haywirepc]

Someone should publish an updated guide for what hardware to use so it works good without too much hair pulling...

I always wanted an amithlon machine but I tried a few times and it worked like %&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@!%&$#?@! or not at all most pc's I tried it on.

With AROS, if you have a supported video card, sound card and network card it works nice out of the box. Would be nice to know what vid, network and sound card you should get on ebay to give this a real go without major problems.

Anyone want to post their hw here if you have a successfully running amithlon machine? Please do!

Allright, someone post links to ISO's for amithlon already.

I have some spare pc's I'll give it a try again...

I tried to get an amithlon pc going 2 or 3 times. Always had some issues (Video didn't go past 640x480, or sound didn't work, or didn't see the net card)

Most people who actually got it going love it...
I suppose getting it going is the hard part.

Me? I throw hardware at stuff if posible instead of pulling out hair fighting with it. Its just easier.

As in AROS, just use a supported net, video and sound card (60$ total on ebay)and most problems are solved.

But for awhile now, I have asked, what network card, what video card and what sound card are best for getting amithlon running without too many headaches? If I can get old pci cards cheap on ebay I'd rather do that and
have less hair pulling and headaches.

I'd be willing to get one of those if I was sure it would work nice with amithlon.

Does accellerated video and sound work right away or need some tweaking?

What screenmodes can it do?

Johan, I'd be interested in that cd for sure!
