Still waiting for an answer on this . From where im sitting the various mainstream media outlets are saying that this update has support for PiStorm. Yet there is no mention of it in the release notes. This is a big deal so why is there nothing mentioned?

I read The Register article and my view is that it's just not clearly written. The line "The update targets Amigas with 680x0 processors, including systems enhanced with PiStorm accelerator boards." means it targets classic systems, not PPC-based ones. If calling out PiStorm I don't know why it doesn't also refer to Vampire cards. 🤔

This isn't the same thing as saying there are PiStorm-specific enhancements in the OS.

Original article I read is here, assuming it's the same one: https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/10/amigaos_3_2_3/

Sigh, please not another THEA1200 hijack. Why troll here and drag this off topic?
Go post on Hyperions forums.

It just looked like you were taking flack Chris so just trying to get us back onto friendly banter rather than whatever that was about the PiStorm requiring additional support beyond Emu68! My bad!  ;) Keep frosty!

I've been monitoring the BBC, The Guardian and The Times (and the FT) and none of them have mentioned Update 3.2.3 at all, let alone the PiStorm?

Yeah, well if you bump your licence fee payment and then write to the Director General a nice letter about how balanced and unbiased their news output is then they will then send you a telegram with an in-depth review of OS3.2.3 with a cost breakdown of how the spoils of the project have been spent and which lawyers got their bonuses! You have to be in the know!

Defend? not sure I follow.

So its a locale thing? when using different languages, issue appears?

It is not a locale problem per se, no. Once you have everything localised, "RAM Disk" sticks out like a sore thumb.

Regardless, your focus is misplaced. Relabelling RAM: has not been a problem before, but with 3.2.3 it is. This has been acknowledged and is addressed for next update, so...

Ah, no problems. Now if you mentioned my sheep, then we would have problems, ;).
