MorphOS Updates
« on: June 11, 2006, 10:29:07 PM »
The MorphOS development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of another MorphOS update for computers equipped with PowerUP accelerator cards.
Plus a new version of the MorphOS 3D Update has been released.

MorphOS for PUP:
The included changes are as follows:

· fixed A4000T mainboard SCSI support
· added missing execute protection flags for 68k monitor drivers
· added missing #?Monitor prefs files for 68k monitor driver

The MorphOS Free Edition for PowerUP can be downloaded from http://powerup.morphos-team.net. We suggest to carefully read the instructions on the website as well as in the included "readme" text to make the installation process as effortless as possible.


MorphOS 3D Update:

The changes since the previous release are:
· r200, rv250 and rv280 cards (8500, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9250) now work on Pegasos 1.
· Fixed a rare lockup condition on r200 (8500, 9100).
· Fixed a random crash on starting the first 3D application on Pegasos 1.
· Fixed a scissoring problem on r200, rv250 and rv280 (8500, 9000, 9100, 9200, 9250)
· Minor speedups and improvements

The update can be downloaded from http://download.morphos-team.net/ or the MorphOS FTP site.

If the newsitem seems a bit disoriented to you, there is a simple explanation: These were originally two separate newsitems that apparently got merged.

still no Mediator support?

There will be no mediator 1200 support. Mediator 4000 support could be possible in theory, but is unlikely.

The most prominent reason that mediator will likely never be supported is the requirement of Picasso96. CyberGraphX is integral part of MorphOS and cannot be removed. See Official ELBOX post on mediator with MOS

My personal view of Elbox has nothing to do with this, though getting me to work with Elbox would require a crowbar and a lot of violence.

The CGX author (one of the main persons in the MOS team) was the first developer outside Elbox who received the complete MEDIATOR developer docs. In 2000 we supplied him also with the developer's MEDIATOR busboard, an Amiga 1200 computer in E/BOX tower with turbo card, FastATA controller, a hard disk and other add-ons like e.g. a Voodoo3 PCI graphic card.

That hardware was not provided for MorphOS development, and Elbox is well aware of it.

Whatever was provided back then is irrelevant for MorphOS support today, anyway. MorphOS requires proper DMA and doesn't work with banked memory windows. MorphOS has CyberGraphX integrated and it cannot use Picasso96.

The developer docs for the FastATA controllers were sent a few years ago to another member of the MOS team, who asked us for them.
