Thanks for the useful article about your Amithlon experiences. I was really positively surprised to read how well it performed. Also I just discovered the sourceforge website for Amithlon, and again I was surprised to see that there actually are recent updates (2011) for the project.
I thought that Amithlon died just after release due to the legal problems, but this was really pleasent reading :)

Thanks. Following that link led me to a turkish site, with further links to the documentation, which also was in turkish. Thanks to the google translate services it was quite readable. An english version would be nice though.

There was also a link to Amithlon v1.3 as well. Is this the most recent release?

That was useful, since I just broke my AmigaOS XL cd. I used it as a source for OS3.9 when installing AmiKit on my pc. The only issue was that the volumename for the resulting CD is "Amithlon", and the AmiKit installation program requires it to be "AmigaOS XL". But I used poweriso on a pc to rename the volumename before burning the CD, and then it worked good with AmiKit.
Sadly I couldnt get the Amithlon CD itself to boot. I selected the rescue options, but only got as far as the boingball bouncing and nothing more happened. I tried two different Dell P4 pc's, but they might be incompatible.
It is supposed to work as a LiveCD in resque mode, right? Or am I missing something..

The cpu is a P4 3.4Ghz (550 - prescott)with 1GB ram.

I havent tried to set the sata to legacy mode. Is this safe to try without risking to loose data on the drive?

Btw, what is your specs for setting up your computer for Amithlon?
(could be useful for anyone who wish to build one)
