Tbh, OS4.0 Classic = Bull Sh*t :pissed:
Same bollocks with my Z3 Fastlane.
Bloody disgracefull all round.
Why? Why do you think Hyperion should've created a hacky mess of an operating system just so they could cover every weird setup out there?
This isn`t a rant & I will be as consise as I can, if only to save my own heart from Bleeding about it!
Back when the CSPPC cards were released, the idea was to be running the Big C='s hardware via the Motorola series of CPU`s, but they were supposed to be backed up by the Horse Power of the PPC to render/compute sh1t faster than anything on the planet back then!
OS4 for the hard Amiga Nuts amongst us was something that ran on the 060 & got boosted by the PPC running in the background & OS3.9 kinda tripped it all that way with WARP etc!
The Demise of Commodore was probably at the hands of Bill Gates & his cronies & meantime while the slimy C= Spick- Boss got paid to totally disapear off the face of the planet whilst Commodore dissapeared up it`s own Ass, folk like us of the eighties were pretty pi$$ed seeing a truly wonderful, pre-emptive multi-tasking operating system & chipset get swallowed to this point in time with Vista.
Amigas brought Multi-Media to the Desk Top long before Pee Cee's were capable after C= went under. Unless you had tens of thousands of ur local Dosh that is!
AAA Chipset consequently never arrived, which was naturally going to be the traditional OS4 from C= for their new Gen Chipset. An awful lot of bloody good stuff got quashed while a lot of total bollocks thrived.
....Sounding Familiar!???
Meantime, OS4 got bashed from pillar to post & appeared on some pretty crap hardware to where it is now.
Unfortunately, OS4.0 Classic users end up with iBrowse 2.4 on OS4.0 running slower than a snail on Evo-Stick! The 060 running iBrowse 2.4 is like a bolt of lightning by comparison.
Forgetting the performance side of it all, the Amiga was the Fastest Emulator in its time & gave the most expensive Pee Cees money could buy, a bloody good run for their money.
MAC's were slower than an Amiga Emulating it ffs! :lol:
Meantime, OS4.0 Classic uses a different Memory accessing method than Commodores original OS. Consequently, the hardware expansions using the traditional Memory accessing wont work anymore.
SCSI of the A3D/T & A4KT are as much use as a chocolate fireguard & because they need the traditional Amigas Memory access for DMA, it`s just totally F`kd.
So yeah, thats why OS4 for the classic user is a total piece of sh1t & I could list a whole pile more bollocks, but my heart is already bleeding like a pig.......
Thats why! :rtfm:
I wanted you to understand the whole condensed story of why its crap. A real nutshell quote would be;
It`s a "Port-Over"
Nuff said! :boohoo:
