Sonnet crescendo 7200 on Amiga

Some of my experiences with Sonnet in Amiga: HERE

If you read my previous article about Sonnet on Amiga, HERE is follow up article this time with more action ;o)

Thanks for sharing! I assume you're using this? Or is there some other software you're using to get it working?

Yes this is the basic library that replaces powerpc.library function. Also you need to use the latest pci.library from elbox which detects your Sonnet and allows to use it.

But the are way more things that are needed for example patched RTG driver, patched chunkyppc.library, patched warp3d driver and of course every warpOS executable must be patched to call sonnet.library instead of powerpc.library. I will make article about installation for sure but once I finish my review series. Everyone who is interested in this project you can start checking apple second-hands maybe some of the powermacs includes that.

Just finished 3rd article this time focused on Warp3D stuff.

Sorry these are not compatible ones. You need Sonnet Crescendo 7200 models.

Realtime comparison of Cyberstorm PPC 604e/333 and Sonnet G3/500

[jack-3d]

PPC604e was excellent CPU and it has six-stage pipeline. PPC603e and PPC750 has four-stage pipeline both.

Dont forget my Cyberstorm PPC has the cpu exchanged for the latest revision clocked at 333 MHz. Most of the Amiga users still have the 180/200/233 versions.

When I get Blizzard PPC 603e with Mediator and Voodoo I will do another comparison. This time it will be family related PPCs running both on PCI bus and Voodoo.

I am not happy how the prices increased, but there is nothing I can do about it.

On the other hand how much do you think cost me the Cyberstorm PPC including all the upgrades (604e/333 MHz, 060 rev6)? About 1400 EUR... :/
