Contact Matay directly. Last time I checked they would upgrade the firmware for free. However at this point there is no need to unless you are a programmer. AFAIK no supported hardware takes advantage of DMA.

Hi,

The Matay DMA update never worked, only the DMA update from E3B works correctly. However I do not believe it is available at present.

Even without DMA support, the Prometheus is natively supported in OS4* for graphics (Voodoo, Permedia2, others may follow), ethernet (RTL8029), and also audio (ES1938 chipset only).

The mixer of other sound cards such as the Live!, SB128, and others is still supported, but no audio playback/recording can take place, due to lack of real DMA.

Regards

Ross

I've contacted Filip from Matay a couple of weeks ago and he told me Michael had a working solution.

I've just mailed him and will post any news here. Keep your fingers crossed.

I thought Matay was closed for business infinately?

Is it the only sound card I can use? What about FM801/OpenPCI?

I almost forgot about that! Your welcome, I'm very glad to see this was helpful. I am happy to see a sound card supported and a little disappointed I don't have an Amiga any longer to use it:-(

Hi,

It is the only sound card that can be used in OS4/Classic, all other sound cards (including FM801) require real DMA. You can use the mixer though.

*Note I am talking about OS4, not OS3.9/OpenPCI*
