Hmm... I don't get what all you guys are getting excited about here, for one thing it's running on a PPC604 & Radeon GFX card of some kind...

Now my BlizzardPPC is only a 603 and I have no GFX card, so just how many of you guys are using a 604 PPC and Radeon GFX card on your A1200s, and how many folk out there have such a set up to run this on, not many I would think.

Wonder how many copies Hyperion expect to sell !!!

Methinks you'll be sorely disappointed if you see it running on a 603 & no GFX card just like OS4.0 was disappointing on such a set up... :(


Hiya Franko, Sorry that your experience of OS4 was disappointing as you were lacking a GFX card :(

It looked like OS4.1 would never be released for the Classic and it's been over 3 years now since I was able to buy OS4.0 in December of 2007, so it's quite easy to get excited when seeing screenshots and a YouTube video of OS4.1 running on an A4000 :)

I'm using an A4000 with CSPPC 604e at 233Mhz. The Radeon card looks really great but to use one I would also need a Mediator PCI 4000Di daughterboard replacement shown here.........

But I think it safe to assume that OS4.1 would support cards like the Picasso IV and Cybervision 64/3D which are supported with my current OS4.0 Classic :)
