I have a question, what can you do with it except look at it?
The ppc accellerators for classic are so slow... I can't run milkytrack with it... (Well I can run it but it won't really work right) I can't run a browser right. I can't run blender unless I want to wait 56 days for it to render something.
So I guess the question is why install 4.1 on a classic system?

Don't kill the messenger Steven, they're just the retailer. And actually I got milky tracker to run a lot better after reducing the buffers and setting it to 640x480 last night. I have 210Mhz PPC.
Question, do think a deal / offer could be worked out to get a discount if you wanted 4.1 for a new machine and you previously order this classic 4.x ? Might encourage some up selling / upgrading.
EDIT -----------------------------
Dual booting with 3.9 - the author of this script wrote me back and said this would still work. Can you look at it / concur? Or how would you go about it? I like the idea of a choice screen on power up.

It would for me.
I should also add that I asked some questions about Classic OS4.1 directly through the AmigaKit message system on 18-May-2011, but so far I've not had any reply from that message, so here it is again, on this forum:
Hi Matthew, or other AmigaKit staff,
I bought Amiga Classic OS4.0, soon after it was released, and so I wondered if there is a trade-up discount for such owners, or a trade-in value for Amiga Classic OS 4.1, being offered on the return of the Amiga Classic OS4.0 software.
I had minimal use of it as it was such a poor Amiga OS release, THE WORST, and then I gave up, as it was so temperamental/flaky, and from what I read on various forums many people experienced the same troubles I encountered.
Has this version been installed by you on any of your Amiga systems, particularly an A1200 PPC system, so I know what it's functionality is likely to be like?
Does this release support any Soundcards successfully?
Does it support any PCI USB cards, not ZORRO or Clockport like the Subway or the Deneb - neither of which I have or can use at the moment - I mean a supported PCI USB card that can plug into a Mediator?
Is a more up-to-date NIC card supported than the RTL8029AS?
I'm sure to have more questions about this new Amiga OS 4.x release, but this will do for the time being.
Hope to hear from you soon,
-

Thank you for posting that Nearly-Right... :)
@ Karlos
You see Karlos, those posts we exchanged in the past about my opinions/ views on OS4.0 were not just down to my own opinion of it, others have had the same bad experience of OS4.0 as I have had... :)
-
I don't mean to kill the messenger, but the complete and total waste of money running os4.x on a classic machine is... No one tells the truth about it here, and someone should before people plop down hundreds and hundreds of dollars for an aging ppc accellerator card and pay for os4.x on top of that. Its totally worthless on a 200mhz processor, period.
Franko,
Your right, even with a 200+mhz ppc accellerator, os 4.? is horribly slow and almost unusable for any real world applications.
If all I want to do is load it and play with the prefs and look at my workbench fine, but doing anything like run applications to get real work done is out of the question.
Thegoose, can you do 32 channels in 16 bit stereo sound on milkytracker, even with all the buffers maxed out at 640x480 ? No you can't. Meaning a pc from 1992 beats os4.X running a music tracking program.
OS4.X is completely useless even with the fastest ppc accellerator for classics. Now if they made a 1ghz+ accellerator for classics, then and only then would I be interested in running os4.x.
Until then, 3.9 it is. Classic ppc accellerators are simply too slow for os4.x but hey, lets sell it anyway? Its ridiculous.

And you're comparing OS4.0 to 4.1 because? For all intensive purposes it's a totally new product.
It's running on the same hardware,yes, but with huge updates like PCI Radeon, SATA cards, Solo-1 Sound card, ZorRAM, DB 3128, disk paging, etc etc... all the AmigaOS 4.1, Update 1, and Update 2 features, plus you will get Update 3 and other things...
It's true the only 4.x OS on Classics you can compare it against is the 4.0 release, but IMHO it's a totally different product with huge differences from 4.0. So it should be evaluated independently from 4.0, I think.
-

Erm... dunno where you got that from... :confused:
I never said a word about comparing OS4.0 to OS4.1 here... :confused:

I just feel that people who had a bad experience with 4.0 are making assumptions that 4.1 will also be bad...they are saying "4.0 was bad, so why should I buy 4.1?" (implying it will also be bad).
I think it should be thought of separately from 4.0 totally...it's a totally new product starting with the kernel.
Ok I'll shut up now :)

There are some info and links to videos at http://blog.hyperion-entertainment.biz/ that might be worth checking out.
One thing that I liked was the native driver for the FastATA card and the mention of cooperation with Elbox. It seems to be more polished than the 4.0 release but I would wait for some reviews I think.
Also, who expect Blender to be fast? It's like expecting Crysis to be fast on a Pentium 233MHz, come on!

I see... :)
To be honest though my experience with OS4.0 and Hyperion have left me with the the same feelings towards them as haywirepc and it would take a hell of a lot to convince me (if that is possible) to ever purchase another product from them again... :)
You yourself answered the question for me in another thread that OS4.1 would not be suitable for me... :)

Steven
Hi,
@haywirepc,
Just ordered my OS 4.1 for the classic Amiga.
I have a CF drive getting ready to run it as soon as I receive it. Why install it?
Well I bought my PPC card several years ago, waited for OS 4.0 to come out, got upset waiting, put my PPC Amiga away, missed the order window, due to Hyperion and Amiga Inc. fighting in court. Now I get to fulfill my destiny, I get to load OS 4.1 on my Amiga 1200 and finally get to look at it (when it arrives). What can I do with it, I can boot it up and look at it, again and again and again. Then one day I will get tired of booting it up and looking at it and I may try programming on it. Remember when the PPC cards first hit, this was the salvation of the Amiga. It was the way that the future was going to look.
So why install it on a classic system? Franko I need some help, Kesa give me a hint, Amigadave help, Karlos why?
I really don't have a clue except for curiosity got the cat and besides that Mr. haywirepc who the hello are you to ask such a deliberately hard question. Why don't you just go back to the hay stack where you belong.
sheesh some people
Have to stick their noses into everything.

Hi Smerf... :)
I thought you'd got OS4.0 up and running a wee while back !!!
What happened (not another Snickers bar incident was it) ??? :(
Cheers

Likes and dislikes for Hyperion aside, I think what is turning a lot of 4.0 users and perspective users against the idea of 4.1 is the name itself!
After reading quite a bit about 4.1, I realized that the major error with it is its TITLE!
Supposedly 4.1 is rebuilt from the kernel up right? I personally would call that a major change! The title "4.1" leads to the thought that this is only an upgrade and going from 4.0 to 4.1 a minor one at that. They can say all they want, but the first thing people will see is that version number change and say, "Oh, it's just an upgrade".
So if the title portrays the mindset that this is just an upgrade, of course people who paid good money for 4.0 will want an option to step-up to 4.1 at a discount. It would only be fair right?
And people who installed and used 4.0 with lackluster results are easily justified in thinking 4.1 won't be any better since, again, it is just a minor up date.
I think that if this came out under a completely different number (5.0) like they do with major changers in Linux flavors or a separate name (Sorry, not feeling creative to make up a name on the spot) it MIGHT have changed the way people looked at the newest version of the OS.
Heck, 4.5 would have lent to a better idea of the major changes put into this package...
My two cents.

I received my copy today (thanks AmigaKit!).
I was lucky and found five ESS solo-1 cards at work and brought them home for testing.
I removed my Voodoo card, and my 8139 nic, slapped in the radeon card and booted from the floppy boot disk.
The install was straight-forward, and OS4 is working fine so far.
However I cannot get any of the solo sound cards to work. In AHI prefs, the test sound button plays a nice clear tone via paula. But no sound at all through any of the solo cards. At one point, I did get some sound out of one of the cards, but it played whitenoise when the test sound button was pressed instead of the tone. When swapping through the cards a second time, I was unable to even get the whitenoise again.
Showconfig shows the model1969 card installed and lists it as working.
I haven't tried USB (Subway) yet.
(I'm glad I have a three-day weekend coming up)
I also haven't had any time to actually play with OS4, but I'm impressed with the speed so far. It runs extremely well on my BPPC, everything seems very responsive. (330mhz card from Stachu)
Hopefully I can get this sound card issue worked out, and round up a compatable nic card.
Any ideas on getting the solo card working AmigaKit?
-
@ J-Golden
That's the way I've been looking at it, 4.1 is just an upgrade from 4.0 ... :)
Nothing said about it on the forums until HammerD's post would have made me think it was in fact a total re-write and like I say my previous experience with 4.0 and Hyperion makes me not even bother to check out their own site anymore... :)
Reckon I'll just wait and see what real users verdicts & opinions are on it once they have had time to test it, before deciding if I should invest in this one a give it a try once again... :)
-
I dont own a PPC card or OS4 and I understand some people feeling when sold a perhaps incomplete OS and being asked to do it again. But I just like to say even Microsoft does it Windows Vista (buggy, slow, badddd!) to Windows 7 (fast, stable, gooddd), plus it not like every three years you have to upgrade OS, plus this might very well be the last commercial OS for the classic Amigas if the product doesn't get supported after all its a minor miracle this update came out. It cant do miracles with the hardware and a simple OS upgrade wont make you be able to render Blender movies lighting fast, Run smooth html5 ami and web sites or enjoy hd movies etc, but at least it will allow you to run these programs then never being able to and if you upgrade to the limits of a classic machine I'm sure you might be surprised at what it can do, and being on classic amiga hardware I think that pretty neat and respect to all involved in the project.

@haywirepc
What's your config?
If you use BlizzardVision you should disable default skin and use a 3.1-like one.

Can the mods please prune the garbage from this thread? (and preferably the site)...
Here are a couple pics of the sound card I'm working with.
Doesn't seem to work in OS4.1C

Can you get me the Device ID / Vendor ID from the Ranger utility?
It should show up in Ranger, if you can either give me the numbers or give me a screenshot of the PCI output from Ranger I may be able to get support added for it.

How did you get a 330Mhz 603e ? Buy it like that? Is your's a Phase 5 board or DCE?

Yes, it will be good if the Moderators can prune this thread accordingly - I originally envisaged this thread being a place to share ideas/experiences about OS 4.1 Classic - from which I can compile a FAQ technical document.
Ill place answers to questions at top of this thread in my first post.

There's a couple of non-trivial upgrades you can do to the old boards to install a 330mhz processor.

Hey - maybe amigakit could get into the CSPPC rebuild business. $100 bucks and you get a 330-400mhz CPU.
Might net y'all more sales...

Well getting answers is always good, but you seem to have overlooked mine, YET AGAIN, both by a direct message to your webpage, and even though my questions that were posted prior to ones you have replied to - on page 1 of this topic/thread.
I asked my questions about Classic OS4.1 directly through your AmigaKit message system on 18-May-2011, but so far I've not had any reply from that message, so here it is again, 2nd time, on this forum:
Hi Matthew, or other AmigaKit staff,
QUESTIONS:
1. I bought Amiga Classic OS4.0, soon after it was released, and so I wondered if there is a trade-up discount for such owners, or a trade-in value for Amiga Classic OS 4.1, being offered on the return of the Amiga Classic OS4.0 software.
I had minimal use of it as it was such a poor Amiga OS release, THE WORST, and the only Amiga upgrade I have ever regretted buying, then I gave up, as it was so temperamental/flaky, and from what I read on various forums many people experienced the same troubles I encountered.
2. Has this version been installed by you on any of your Amiga systems, particularly an A1200 PPC system, so I know what it's functionality is likely to be like?
3. Does this release support any Soundcards successfully? - Seems not, see CSixx's comments with a SOLO card with 1938S chipset, which is supposed to work but doesn't it seems.
http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=57842&page=2
If this is just the tip of the iceberg then I'm not going to step up and pay £100 for a new OS4.1 release and meet this stonewall, it's yet another flaky bit of coding/programming if this card does not work at the time of release when all betatesting is supposed to have been done by time of release - abysmal.
It doesn't say much for the betatesters or the company if it hasn't been tested in various setups to ensure it works flawlessly. Not stating that ALL chipsets, or only specific chipsets for the SOLO soundcards are supported/tested working was also a poor piece of communications.
I really am disappointed - that's being very polite. You should have heard what I said about it here at my home, but it's unprintable on this forum.
4. Does it support any PCI USB cards, not ZORRO or Clockport like the Subway or the Deneb - neither of which I have or can use at the moment - I mean a supported PCI USB card that can plug into a Mediator in an A1200 or A3000/A4000?
5. Is a more up-to-date NIC card supported than the RTL8029AS? - You seem to have answered that one, and the answer is no, unless the DMA HACK is allowed.
(comment: Frankly I can't see me buying OS4.1 if the DMA hack is not allowed to function as it takes away much of the benefits of owning a Mediator)
I'm sure to have more questions about this new Amiga OS 4.x release, but this will do for the time being.
Hope to hear from you soon, (Anytime soon seems will have to do) :(

HammerD, attached is a pic from ranger regarding my ESS card.

AmigaKit: Is Subway supported?
I've tried a couple flash drives and nothing happens when I plug them in.
There's not much in the USB prefs, other than some logging info. USBInspector shows nothing.
No USB would be a deal breaker for me using OS4.

It should work with Poseidon, but not the default OS4 USB stack.

Thanks, I'll give Poseidon a try. Just the standard 3.x version right? Do I need to disable the OS4 stack or anything first?

You don't have to, but you could comment out the USBctrl starting from startup-sequence and comment out USB modules in the Kicklayout. But it isn't necessary.

Got it thanks, I've sent it off to the developer. I'll let you know what he says.

OK.
Got OS 4.1 Classic from AmigaKit (thank you) and the install was relatively painless with one exception - my Deneb.
I looked at some instructions here - http://www.hd-zone.com/2011/06/optimizing-poseidon-for-amigaos-4-1-classic/ and they say installing Poseidon 4.4 is straightforward and I can accept the defaults and have it start automatically.
Trouble is during the install I elect to start it automatically whereupon the installer generates a Grim Reaper exception. Tried three times and each time the result was the same. Tried again by saying 'no - don't start by default' and the installer went through fine.
Rebooted the Amiga - all OK so far. Installed Trident and got that to come up and added the Deneb manually. Mouse was detected (USB wireless) and it all started to work. Rebooted again and got a Poseidon error message at bootup but my mouse was working still. Attempting to start the Trident GUI also throws an exception now so I can't actually configure it - but my mouse is working.
System is as follows:
4000 with a Mediator 4000Di w/Radeon 9250 from Elbox
CyberStorm PPC 233MHz / 128MB RAM
Realtek RTL8139 NIC (works in 3.9, sadly not supported in 4.1)
Deneb
Indivision AGA
16GB CF card for HDD
and that's all..quite a basic system in terms of addon cards (limited by space :) )
Any help would be appreciated if you know what could be causing the problem. Can provide more specific error messages if required but the Miggie isn't with me as I'm writing this.
Thanks!

I have the exact same config pretty much, can you post more details on the error message? Is there a crashlog? Make sure you are using the denebpio driver in the Trident prefs.
-
No worries. I'll get the exact text of the Grim Reaper and post it here.
Where might I find the crash log? (sorry, not up to speed on this stuff sometimes)

Attached a screenshot of the Grim Reaper and the associated dump file.
Steps I performed are:
1. Install a fresh OS 4.1 (this takes a few installs to actually get a bootable install - 4/5 installs result in a system that hangs on the 4.1 Classic boot logo...waiting 5 minutes or so does nothing)
One I got a system again that would boot -
2. Installed Poseidon 4.4
3. Crash when electing to autostart the USB
And that's all I did. Nothing more. I may be doing something wrong or have something misconfigured not sure...only thing odd I could see was it crashed doing something with a Subway (driver??) in a 4000 :confused: Only other thing that may be of interest is that my clock isn't set in the 4000..it's 1978 where it lives :p
Any insight appreciated
Thank you sir!

If you have a Deneb USB, I would move the SubwayUSB driver out of the DEVS:USBHardware drawer, then reboot your Amiga.
During the Poseidon 4.4 Install, you can specify to not install any Subway files.

Yes, as AmigaKit says, delete the subway hardware driver in devs:usbhardware.
Also make sure it's not in your Deneb's flashrom - only the PIO and DMA Deneb drivers should be there (DMA if you are using it under 3.x as well, but it won't hurt OS4.1 if it's present). It appears the Subway driver does, though.
I can add that to my posting...when my site is back up :-/

Had a crack at it last night with your suggestions and she's all good.
Had to use the z2 driver as my Deneb is configured that way otherwise she won't boot into 3.9.
Thanks again guys

Had to use the z2 driver as my Deneb is configured that way otherwise she won't boot into 3.9.
Thanks again guys
Good to hear :) Now it's time for you to create some screenshots and pix of your amiga setup :)

Aye I'll get onto that on the weekend.
Meanwhile I've also noticed that if I set the region to New Zealand OS 4.1 won't boot. I had a similar problem with 4.1 on an AmigaOne a while back so it could be the same fault. Installation of preferences would fail on the A1 unless I opted to use the defaults.
If I set NZ as the locale then I get stuck at the loading screen for 4.1...this happens either with a fresh install or with a system that's been happily running with the default locale for many reboots.
I've also got an outstanding issue with Poseidon although I'll have to revisit it on the weekend to get more information. Poseidon is installing without error now but every now and then upon loading the 4.1 desktop Poseidon will display a Grim Reaper...if I see that I also know that I won't be able to get into Trident. I'll post more info on this if interested when I can find the time.
But on a happy note I installed Wipeout 2097 on 4.1 classic and she's running like a peach :) Shadows under the cars are black squares on the Radeon but, other than that, it's running very nicely in windowed mode (hangs at the 'Digital Images' loading screen in full screen mode).
