Hello

is it possibile to use both a Voodoo 3 and a Radeon 9250 GFX card on Amiga4000 with AmigaOS 4.1FE?
when i install the OS it only recognizes the Voodoo 3 and when i boot up the Amiga after installation there is no way to add or find the Radeon, what's wrong? I'd like to use the Radeon 9250 on the OS4.1 side while i use the Voodoo3 on AmigaOS 3.2 partition so i want to keep both in the tower.
Any suggestion is welcome

Yes i have a mediator inside a full tower.
I guessed that the order of the boards could influence the installation process but i was wrong. AmigaOS 4.1FE seems to use the Voodoo3 if present and this is not affected by the order of the boards in the slots.
I made some more tests and unplugged the Voodoo3 leaving the Radeon as the only GFX board on my Amiga 4000, i was able to installa AmigaOS4.1FE but when i plug the Voodoo3 again i only get a black screen and some glitched on the Voodoo3 output.

unfortunately Hyperion forum is really silent, 430 people read my question but none replied.
What is that editor you are talking about?

After installation it doesn't detects the second GFX board at all  :-[
