Looking for W3D_Picasso96MU.library v4.2 (17 Feb 2002)

[Cosmos Amiga]

After the Warp3D 68k v4.2a, a new 4.2b was released : http://www.elbox.com/downloads_mediator.html

In this new version, the W3D_Picasso96MU.library v4.2 (5 Feb 2002) is updated to the v4.2 (17 Feb 2002)

I emailed Elbox about this new release, but no answer...

Anyone could check his version installed with a "version full Sys:Libs/Warp3D/HWDrivers/W3D_Picasso96MU.library" and see if it's the rare 4.2 (17 Feb 2002) I'm looking for ?


Very important for me, thank you !

[Cosmos Amiga]

PM sent.
Test it, it gives me just 4.2.

To get the date, you need to add "full" after the command "version" !

[Cosmos Amiga]

Maybe inside the MediatorUP3.4.lha

Anybody have this archive somewhere ?

[Cosmos Amiga]

This archive has W3D_Picasso96M.library 4.2 (02/17/02) so perhaps their listing has an error and there is no new version of W3D_Picasso96MU.library?

Hum, I guess no error because it's clearly written Warp3D 4.2b (and the release who everyone have is the 4.2a)

Matthew at A-Eon would also like Radeon support in Warp3D for the classic AmigaOS (he has an Amiga 1200 with Radeon)

Another excuse to do nothing, as always...

We have working drivers for the Permedia2 and the 3dfx, and now our "elite" want another driver hard & long to code...

Karlos have advanced reworked Permedia2 & 3dfx drivers but no autorisation to release... Everything is done to block the Amiga Classics.

We the users are VERY VERY VERY angry : it's always no, always blablabla and nothing change on Classics...


Really the Amiga "elite", you will not comme crying, we are tired of you...

[Cosmos Amiga]

Classics look to be ignored by most, I find them useful and productive(

We want the release of the Karlos Warp3D drivers, right now !

And a new batch of BlizzardPPC, CyberStormPPC, BVision and CyberVisionPPC at LOW prices for evreyone can purchase. Now, not in 10 years...


My very last warning...


I'm all except a joke man, you the "elite" are fully warned...

[Cosmos Amiga]

No, dividing in to secretive camps with fortifications protecting the antiquated Amiga technology from each other seems to be the Amiga way. This doesn't mean I agree with Cosmo's attitude even though I understand his feeling of the Amiga being held hostage. Honey catches more flies than vinegar. Hopefully, eventually. Amiga teaches us patience. We must meditate and focus on what was good about the Amiga. Where did my fricking Guru Meditation Joyboard go now?

You are too gentle. We are waiting since too many time... They mock us...

Now I want new batch of BlizzardPPC, CyberStormPPC, BVision and CyberVisionPPC at LOW prices to introduce a new virtuous circle :

Very low prices hardware => big selling => new softwares => new users or old users come back : the machine lives...


BlizzardPPC : 150 euros maximum
CyberStormPPC : 220 euros maximum
BVision : 90 euros maximum
CyberVisionPPC : 90 euros maximum

If 68060 not available, a 68040@40 on socket is fine (better than nothing) with two JMPs to change to 060 if users find it...

[Cosmos Amiga]

Oh for gods sake! Make a Fast FPGA card with sata, fast ram and lots of it with dma and a graphics card pci slot!

Later. We are in the hurry now. New cards take too much time and too much money to develop...

BlizzardPPC : 150 euros maximum
CyberStormPPC : 220 euros maximum
BVision : 90 euros maximum
CyberVisionPPC : 90 euros maximum

Of course NOT selling by Amigakit : they will sell at insane prices... (==> http://www.amiga.org/forums/showpost.php?p=787964&postcount=23)

@Matthey

I'm talking about survival : we cannot wait 1 or 2 years more to have ready and working new 68k hardware... I think it's easy to understand.

I'm only a 68k hacker, I don't have the skill & knowledge already to build a new 060 or Fpga card from scratch...

I don't believe in PPC, and Amigakit screwed the X1000 with superhigh prices (2 975 euros !!!! Ouch !!) to make impossible a virtuous circle. And they will do same mistake for the X5000 soon...
 

The only chance is quickly a new batch of the last boards from Phase5/DCE at VERY LOW PRICES : sorry, I see only this very last hope for us...

[Cosmos Amiga]

The FPGA seems to me the best option.
If you want a hardware that is not 100% compatible, the problem would be to know where to place the cursor between compatibility and performance.

I guess you have zero idea of what is really the word "developping" on Classics...

For myself, it's extremly difficult : zillions problems all the time, insane bugs, forum trollers, no answer from those who can help you, very few users help, ennemis, hardware worked fine yesterday and fail the next day, false friends, psychic attacks, money problems and many many more crazy things...


Try to do something (coding, new hardware, various hacks...) on Classics, and you will see...
