Interesting, should be put to a single video on You Tube. User Group of Melbourne?

This would be more useful in another format, eg. ASCII. As it stands, it is hundreds of megabytes which is unfortunately just not practical.

Ironically one of the 1st videos I ever watched on OS3.9/Amithlon 10 or so years ago :)

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

And I think this is what you were talking about the other day isn't it?

Ah, ok, cool. I hadnt seen that one. Seems its running on a real '060 based amiga. Id only seen the other videos he did with it running on Amithlon. Even supports multiple monitors (both with different display/apps).
Cant wait to get ahold of it. Ive been trying to get to 300fps on Quake2 for a while. Maxed out at 298, never quite hit 300 yet without dropping resolution and I think these drivers should get me there (and then some). When he does implement 3d acceleration it'll be crazy fast (not that 300fps isnt fast enough already, but theyre good ways to benchmark a machine against its former configuration) :)

Amithlon just won't die will it? :)

Amithlon really needs a bounty for it, assuming that's even a viable option with eventual open source roots.

The fact Amithlon was cut short is one of the saddest stories since the demise of the original Commodore - running a well put together Amithlon system is simply staggering and would win over even the most devout "classic" fan.

I always felt sorry for Bernie because Amithlon was such an amazing product but he was treated so badly. If Amiga Inc had one brain cell between them they would have tried their hardest to get this product back on the shelf and financed even more updates. He deserved to become a wealthy man for his genius idea.

Such a great loss for the future of Amiga :(

Yes, very sad story for him.

And Amithlon 2 was very close to a release at the time too.

I remember reading an interview about how it all ended and how Bernie had his fingers burnt so badly by the experience that he said something like he had moved all source files for improved update making it impossible even for some hacker to dial in and release it without his permission.
