PS: since you've posted yet again while I was typing this with the comment...

then I should remind you that again you are wrong as you chimed in before I made that post with this post

http://www.amiga.org/forums/showpost.php?p=636544&postcount=33


I'm sorry, but what was remotely confrontational in post #33?

Quote from: myself
Simple answer to your simple question: Yes, you need a graphics card if you want the best experience.


IMO, in this regard, it's no different to 4.0, 3.9, 3.5 and 3.1. You may *think* that 3.x runs fine without RTG and so did I until I got my first RTG card (the BVision as it happens) for my A1200 back in late '98. I was using 3.1 back then and the difference it was more significant than any other expansion since my first hard drive. Even more than my first accelerator card.

It's fair to say I haven't even used a later version of AmigaOS without a graphics card. After using workbench or even just a shell on a fast, high-resolution flickerless display you are immediately spoilt and can't go back.


The first part was a totally matter of fact answer to your question. The second part was my own observation about RTG in general, specifically that it's one of those things you don't realise you're missing until you first use it then wonder how you lived without it. I'm sure I can't be alone in that view.

Hi,

OMG!!!

My dream has been realized, and to think, just yesterday I was talking to the wife about putting all my Amiga stuff up for sale. First to go would have been  my trusty A4000 with it's GVP IV 24, Picasso II, Buddha IDE card, Xsurf internet card, and A3640 accelerator.

Second to go would of been my recently towered A1200 with lyra keyboard adapter, DCE 240 mhz ppc / 68040 40 mhz accelerator.

Well maybe I will hang on to them for a little while longer.

Hi,

@Karlos,

Why not just make it a black and white display, then it would really be sped up.

Oh!!

I forgot, you are used to black and white displays, after all you do use a MAC.

You're confusing me with someone else. I haven't used a Mac since OSX 10.3 and that wasn't through choice, either. The only mac prior to that I used was an emulated one on my A1200 to write up my final year thesis.

Will SerialATA PCI cards work with Mediator1200? My friends are interested on that due to OS4 lack of compatibility with AmigaOS scsi drivers.

Yes, sorry that was missed on the press release.  There is support for the silicon image 3512, 3112, and 3114 controllers and also the 0680 IDE controller (firestorm only).  

In the hardware FAQ that comes with AmigaOS 4.1 Classic it will tell you all the details.  There is also a handy file system reference chart to help you select the best file system to use, too.

I bet 68k PFS5.3 will be the best on OS4.1 compared to any of the other filesystems.

PFS isn't included with OS 4.1 and recent news about it came out after the FAQ and Install Guide was written...but by all means give it a try :) I'd like to see some benchmarks!
