I wonder if this will be as short lived as OS4.0...

No different to any version since OS3.1 then ;) You wouldn't like it anyway. It has things scattered all over disk, including the Kickstart ROM...

Post by: Karlos on December 20, 2010, 06:16:56 PM: No chance, I need my RTG card. When I first got it I was using OS3.5 (which was the most up to date version available at the time). I had been using an autoscrolling PAL Laced1280x1024 16-colour workbench screen, flicker reduced with MagicTV and all running on top of CGX-AGA (you should have this with your BPPC disks) which did some of the things FBlit did. As it happens, that was quite a reasonable setup.

However, just 2 minutes of the same resolution at running in 16-bit at 85Hz was more than enough to make me realise I'd expanded the machine past a certain point of no return.

Incidentally, I wouldn't recommend the GUI settings in those screenshots for a Permedia2 card at any rate. Having such a slow fill rate, it doesn't do the compositing thing very well.

At least with morphos you can just install Warp3D and play all those game that were made for AmigaOS 3.x. Morphos native 3D stuff we still not work.
Afaik, you can't do this on OS4.

The blog post was a sneak peek at AmigaOS 4.1 Classic and there could be further features...that's all I'm going to say. Nothing is written in stone as it's still in development.
