Forgive me my lack of knowledge,

No chance !

but why didn't they make a Cybergraphics driver for Amithlon

Dunno, maybe cos Bernie had (better) contact withe the P96-team, or maybe code from the UAEGfx-driver could been reused ?

Several programs that use gfx card depend on Cybergraphics and not Picasso96 ...  :-?

Care to name a few ?

I believe Harald handled the contact with third parties initially, and yes, I suspect the UAEGfx-driver was used as a starting point during development.

UAE-Linux started with P96 active when I just copied the Amithlon-Install into it's folder, so yes they must be rather close relatives.

Does anyone of you know where to get AMITHLON from, beside of EMULE or other P2P?

Or maybe someone could send me an Email with the file. To get my Email address PM me.

With a little bit of work, Amithlon can support a lot of features. These are what I've tested so far:

Audio Support via AHI - SB128, SBLive, AC97
Graphics Support via P96 - NVidia TNT2, etc... with graphics up to 1280x1024 in 32bit color accelerated
NIC - Intel Pro 10/100, RT8139, 3Com905, NE2000, etc... running up to 100 MBPS
Serial Port - USR 56K Modem
Genesis TCP - AWeb browsing, AmiFTP, SAMBA, TCPIP Printing
Emulation - E-UAE (WB1.3), ShapeShifter (MacOS 7.5.5)

My upcoming projects include:
MIDI via Serial Port - for Bars and Pipes, and Deluxe Music 2 to MIDI Keyboards
USB Support via ArakAttack Poseidon - Thumb drives, Digial Camera
TV Card - AmithlonTV, ValiantVision
PC Joystick - NewLowLevel

Nice site Mihcael. I also will be trying to set up an Amithlon support site in the near future. Here's a couple other links:

http://www.birrabrothers.com/tiger/data/amithlon/index.htm
It's incomplete, but it has a nic how-to for setting NIC's.

http://www.geit.de/
Guido Mersmann's site. It includes ValiantVision TV-Card support for Amithlon. He's on AmithlonOpen too.

Thanks rdolores!

Both added!

I did see the geit.de link but wasn't sure how relevant it was!
I'll trust your judgement!  :-)

LAst night I dug out my old Amithlon CD.

Out of curiosity i tried it on my ASUS K8N-VM Mobo with Athlon 64 3200+, nForce 4 chipset and PCI-Express Geforce.

To my pleasant surprise the CD booted perfectly into Workbench.

nVidia certainly know how to get backwards compatibility right! :-D

[rdolores]

If you can boot up to the Workbench screen, with the Amithlon CD, you have an excellent chance of installing it.
