Ave?
Wasn't that the phrase used to salutate Caesar?
What has greeting Caesar to do with your system?
:-? :-? :-?

IIRC you have to use the ppclib.emu from Frank Wille (?) to avoid the trouble with PowerUp- and WarpOS-software respectively the switching between them.

Hmmmm - on my OS 3.9 CD there was WarpOS v16.1 (at least Mediator config tellme it has this version).
Basically I think it's worth to have OS3.9 for a classic. It's been reported that it's possible to enhance OS3.5 to have the same look and functionality as OS3.9 - but having OS3.9 means a lot less of hassle and faster results, IMHO...
EDIT:
In case you'd like to have at least your nick spelled correctly - it's:
Achtung Babe

but where do l get these files from b4 l went got from
from company took over from phase 5 . ppc site that

You can download WarpOS/WarpUp here (http://download.haage-partner.de/Amiga/WarpUP/) and ppclibemu here (http://sun.hasenbraten.de/~frank/projects/). I personally use WOSPrefs (http://aminet.net/search?query=wosprefs) to configure the needed variables.
*EDIT*
You might want to check this (http://phase5.a1k.org/) site too.

Hey mate - don't get me wrong - but what's your native tongue?
I'm no native English speaker, but quite good as long as it doesn't come to dialects or slang.
So it's really hard for me to guess what you mean - you are writing in a rather "slangish style":

Even after 5 minutes of guessing I have no clear idea what you're trying to say. I just realized that the sentence is not at its end at the "Full Stop" after "phase 5", as it normally is.
What I understood so far is:

You are looking for some files - which files are you looking for?
actung_bab wrote:
b4
b4 = before?

You went (where did you go to?) and got something (what?)from a company that took over the damn PPC support site with the setup files from P5?
Did I get that right so far?

You're welcome!
Just do me one favour:
Please work on your writing style - it's relly hard to read/understand for an non-native English speaker - and after all this is an international forum here, so we all should give our best regarding writing style to make it not too hard for the non-native English speakers here...

yes l know ave read the same
Ah - and in New Zealand they really officially write "ave" instead of "I've"??
actung_bab wrote:

Not sure what you mean here - what is easier said than done?
actung_bab wrote:

When I "translate" your sentence above, I read:
"Yeah - but (I) think you two mispelled also."
I just wanted to ask who the other one is you're talking to, when I got the idea that you possibly could have meant to write:
"Yeah - but (I) think you mispelled, too."
Now that's in an understandable form for me - but where do you think I misspelled?

Yes - I have a Mediator with Voodoo4, 10/100mBit NIC, Terratec 512i digital and Spider2 USB2.0 highspeed working in my Amiga 4000 with CyberstormPPC (and CybervisionPPC)
and I have to say that I#m completely happy with it.
I really can't understand why some claim Mediator is crap - they certainly must have made mistakes during the setup!

:-o
Cybegraphics4 is quite good together with my CybervisionPPC.
But you got to keep in mind:
You can't run Picasso96 (needed for Mediator and Voodoo) at the same time as Cybergfx.
As I have both graphic cards fitted, I have to have two boot partitions - one for the use with Picasso96 and Mediator, and the other for the use with Cybergfx and the CyberVisionPPC.
The latter I need e.g. when I want to boot into PPC-Linux, which does not support the Mediator/Voodoo combo.
The same is valid for MOS, AFAIK.

thanks for that mate.. least u didnt prattle on about
everthing but the kitchen sink like other guy..
no wonder amiga in trouble gee need help not a critic
am not writing editorial for news paper
-
okay l get your point fair enough sir.
getting of topic here, do u use a buffered ide interface.
Yes - I have a Mediator with Voodoo4, 10/100mBit NIC, Terratec 512i digital and Spider2 USB2.0 highspeed working in my Amiga 4000 with CyberstormPPC (and CybervisionPPC)
and I have to say that I#m completely happy with it.
l have been thinking of getting the ebox one with pio 4 support l whould wonder if it fit, with my ppc blizzard card.
am not that happy with my file system hard drive gets alot
of hits.
thing the mediator is very expensive for me to buy . as postage whould be alot to new zealand.
also l do not have my amiga 1200 motherbaord inclosed in
a purpose built case . only have what you whould call .
a back plane kit , which means fitting the mediator chould
be a problem as nothing to hold it to or the pci cards etc
l am going try another file system.
thanks l understand whould make life intresting for u to
read my messages
cheers where all amiga fans here
