Hmm. I just can NOT get my A4KT to go online without locking up. Well...I did once & googled "hello" to proove I was on line. Then, after shutting down & rebooting & dragging the Voodoo Monitor to Devs/Monitors, the Miggy locks up when launching IBrowse.


I think its safe to say that everyone is having trouble of some sort with OS4, I know I am.

The thing that gets me is "not compatiable" hardware means the system wont boot with it in, Im dual booting between 3.9 and 4 at the moment (95% 3.9 5% 4) and loosing my Fastlane is a real pain (I used it for connecting my external DAT drive and Zip drive as well as for the extra 64meg of memory, and dont have a go at the speed, its faster than the motherboard ram) but with it installed OS4 just wont boot.

For some reason you cant have an empty Prometheus installed (Im waiting for a 90 degree slot adaptor to arrive) because it panics with the OS4 kickstart (the power light flashes and then resets then flashes etc)

My IOBlix ethernet card (add-on to the normal ioblix) works 100% of the time under 3.9 and lower but 4.0 it will stay on for a short time and then crash the TCP/IP program which in turn locks all the internet programs up solid.

For some reason I just cant get the OS4 USB stack to see the Thylacine even though the same OS4 stack in 68K code works just fine. (in 3.9) So no USB on the OS4 side even though I have the card.

you get asked if you want to overwrite Font files @ around 7% completion of the install process.

I got that too, but overall the installation process was fast so mehh.

So yeah Im thinking of uninstalling OS4 for a while, see if things get better later but mehh, compatiablilty is a must for the OS yet they seem to come back with "well the original software wasnt designed right and thats the problem" well sorry, if it works from 3.0-3.9 and 4.0 is the only one not working then its OS4's fault.



Oh one note, excluding when connected to the network Ive found OS4 to be stable although thats only running mplayer and dvplayer, specially designed for OS4.
