Title: Amithlon supported video, sound and network cards.
Post by: haywirepc on July 27, 2013, 11:01:31 PM: I'd like to build an amithlon machine. With aros, its best to just use supported hardware. With this being said I hear amithlon is the same.

If you have a great working amithlon machine, can you list your video, sound and network card type?

I plan on getting well supported hardware on ebay for giving it a go...

Thanks in advance for everyone's thoughts...

Post by: haywirepc on July 28, 2013, 04:59:16 AM: So does the updated kernel work with most hardware?

No idea, I'd prefer to just use old school used hardware to be sure it will work from a cd install...

Anyone know some common net, video and soundcards the amithlon cd install will work "out of the box" with?

Geforce 4 card works but wont do 1024x768.
ATI 9200 is also supposed to be supported but no joy there. Corrupt graphics :-/
Nforce2 USB is detected but wont mount any flash drives. Going to keep trying though.

Might look at the linked kernel.

Had issues with SATA drives with it though, so currently using an old IDE HD and optical drive.

Post by: wawrzon on July 28, 2013, 10:27:06 AM: guess that would be overkill to have most cores idle and such.

Post by: nicholas on July 29, 2013, 07:54:38 PM: The Amithlon CD you have contains the updates from that A1K archive, Kernel 4 supports newer hardware, the readme in the archive has a list.
