OS4 Classic BPPC/060 A1200 Radeon

[nikodr]

Good to know about the Radeon stuff. Now that the OS4 team can do whatever they want I really do hope they provide a 4.1 for OS4 Classic. I can understand why they might not do so but I can still hope that they will, right?
I would really like to see PPC mac support for OS4 but failing that I'd really like to see OS4.1 Classic.

Maybe someone like Piru could tell us if it would be possible for a 200/233 mhz board like cyberstorm to support amiga os 4.1 .I think it may not be possible without being very slow ?

Thanks Piru.Probably only hyperion could really know.
However i think that features like :

Hardware compositing engine (Radeon R1xx and R2xx family)
Implementation of the "Cairo" device-independent 2D rendering library could be a little difficult for a processor of only 200/233 mhz.

And since the required hardware for amiga os 4.1 is AmigaOne (SE/XE/µa1-C), Pegasos II or SAM440ep / SAM440ep-flex then things could be a little difficult for the classic phase 5 users.
(with only 256 mbytes of ram,if timberwolf is ported how much memory would be left if someone opened 5-6 tabs of heavy pages ?)

Os 4.1 need a radeon 9250 to run well,that would mean that most classic users could only work with a3000/4000 with mediator solution.1200 mediator solution would not run well.

Off topic but to me it seems that since the appearance of sam and os 4.1 ,os 4.0 seems like it has been left behind by hyperion.

which brings me to the question:Is it possible to add support for more ram than 256mbytes?I suppose a 4000 could have more ram than that (not connected to the cyberstorm though)
