OS4 compatibility list

[rwo]

@Reflex

For usb you need a Zorro/Clockport version, as standard pci UHCI/OHCI/EHCI cards uses DMA and that won't work with Mediator1200

I don't know about the Fastlane, if its not on the list don't mean that its not supported only that its not tested.

No native SCSI support for the Top end Amigas?
Fs,.....you gotta laugh!  :lol:

Dont put CDROMS on your PPC SCSI WITH hard drives. It'll seriously slow up your hard drives performance. Do the above on IDE & you might as well use an Abacus.

Im confussed now. Obviously games that boot off floppy will still work, but HDD games and whdload games will not run will they.

You could always do a small 1gig partition with os3.9 and all your old games on it.
On the first power up simply access the boot menu and select that partition over the OS4 one and hey, best of both worlds.

Dose it work with the Mediator a1200 bus boards under OS4?

In general, if an OS4 native driver works on one classic PCI system, it'll work on all of them.

I don't play games. I just know WHDLoad does not work. You can load your games rebooting into OS3 in less than a minute.

@Kin-Hell

The UWSCSI controller of my CSPPC works without problems, thanks.

@Reflex
Fastlane probably won't work as it uses DMA and OS4 uses virtualized memory. Maybe if you put the buffers in chip ram... but I don't think it's possible. It's faster and easier to use the CSPPC UWSCSI controller.

Do you know if anyone has tasted zorro cards in the Z4 busboard

[Crumb]

@JJ

I think I could try one again in two weeks, not earlier. But I guess it will work. You'll see the card listed when it's tested completely.

What's up with PicassoIV, Paloma overlay? Is the problem serious and what apps using overlay are likely affected?

@ crumb

Thanks. I was about to sell all my amiga stuff cause im in the poo at the moment, but as all my hardware is listed as working more or lesws, might buy os4 and see how it goes

@Nearly-Right

I very much agree with you. But, getting it out there is the a step in the right direction. I was horrified when I saw the list at first tho..

I have a RTL8139 and a Voodoo5 ( which isn't even mentioned ) and a whole heap of incompatible audio cards...
Maybe I have a voodoo3 somewhere, but with my luck that's agp.. Anyway that big thing that's supposed to hang the back of it is missing.  :inquisitive:

I was hoping this list of hardware would be supported tho...

But I guess Crumb is right, people will develop, and hopefully elbox will sort us incompatibles out =)


Edited: No point in feeding the trolls.  :lol:

 I'm glad that the IDEFix express is supported because i'm about to receive one from amigakit, along with the OS4. :-)

I dont recall saying your UWSCSI was having problems!

While this is all very well and very cool.
It still leves me and, I guess, a bunch of toher users no fecking HW to use... To bad, for me this is atm useless.

I so much want new HW and AOS4.0

Do you have the funds for an A4000 604e?

[A4000_Mad]

@ AmigaMance

Is IDEfix express something new then mate? I've got IDEFix 97 for A4000's and and EIDE99 for A1200's, but I could have missed that one!

EDIT - Sorry mate I read that too quickly. It's hardware of course and I've found it here thanks :-)

Can you just confirm that you've actually been able to order and pay for OS4 from Amigakit?

 Yep. It's like a plain IDEFix splitter on steroids. I chose to buy this instead of FastATA because it's cheaper.

 I have ordered the IDEfix plus some other stuff and then sent the money to AmigaKit about a month ago. Then, some days later, the news about OS4 came out, so i asked matthew if he intents to sell OS4. He said yes and i told him to put my order on-hold until he receives OS4.
