AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition Update 1 Now Available

[HammerD]

Has anyone installed this successfully on a CSPPC/CVPPC system yet ?

Yes.  Best way is a clean Final Edition install, then download the lha from Hyperion and apply it...  It works Z3 memory can work as main memory now if you add "NORAMPAGER" to the bootloader command line in s-s like this:

Bootloader COMMANDLINE="NORAMPAGER"

That will tell the kernel to look for zorro 3 memory and add it as main system memory.  Obviously it's rather slow on real hardware - we are talking 8-12MB/sec over Zorro 3, but on WinUAE it shouldn't be any slower than any other memory.

Just as a comparison Cyberstorm PPC memory is 60-100MB/sec...so you can see that once you start using the Zorro 3 memory you get a big performance hit....it sucks but I'll take the memory over not having it.

Could you post your config?
I am curious how it looks like with 2x512MB Z2 cards

AmigaOS 4.1 FE+Update 1 will only search for Zorro 3 memory.  Zorro 2 memory maxes out at (I think) 8MB and isn't that much....

A2065 with the ethernet.device (not sure where I got that, probably one of the "Installing AOS 4.1FE in WinUAE" threads) worked before any uae devices (gfx, net, drives, etc..) could be used in emulation of 4.1, so I still use it.

The other thing to keep in mind is if you don't configure a PCI busboard (Mediator/GREX, etc...) in WinUAE you save address space in the Zorro III range.  That can potentially allow you to add additional Zorro III memory.

The Mediator can take 256MB or 512MB of Zorro III address space, for example, if configured.

So if you use uaegfx and a Zorro based network card (emulated) you aren't using alot of address space.
