I have a question about the graphics cards for the Sam 460 boards. So my really old setup is an AmigaOne 500/Sam 460ex with a 250 watt micro ATX power supply HIS Radeon 5450 Graphics card. This setup has worked for years no problems. Uboot 2010.06.05a. Yes, I have never updated the Uboot in this machine. Latest Amiga OS 4.1 Update 3. I also have Enhancer Sofware Release 2 and Enhancer Software Plus Edition installed. I have Radeon RX V2.12, Radeon HD 3.7 and Warp3DNova.library. I do not have Warp3D Nova bridge.library or Radeon HD V5.0. I was waiting on the new Enhancer Package to come out and will get that when it does.
Here is my question. Is the ASUS Radeon R7 240 Low Profile PCI-E 3.0 Video Card R7240-2GD3-L work in my AmigaOne 500/Sam 460ex (I know it is listed as a working card on HDLabs) but do I have the right Radeon drivers and do I need to update the UBOOT? Also, I want to verify it will give me Warp3d abilities. Also, is a 250 watt power supply enough for this card (I know the Sam 460ex does not draw a lot of power)?
I assume the card would work fine with the Sam 460LE motherboard I own since I bought it a year ago and has the latest Uboot and all that.
Any input would be helpful.
Thanks,
Yogi
Your R7 240 will work - you have Radeon driver v3.7 and Warp3D Nova, no Warp3D. Nova Bridge is perfect for old Warp3D games ( runs over Warp3D Nova, very compatible ). It will work with R7 240 if you have Enhancer v2.2 ( W3DN v54 ). Radeon v.5 has video acceleration, it means that you can play H.264/720p videos with Emotion or DVPlayer. It will work with R7 240.
Your firmware works with R7 240, but I recommend upgrade it to latest 2015.d, it has many nice features, including RAM timing adjustment and booting from NVME and SATA2.

Seems I don't release the XTAG resource when doing Ctrl-C in that test. Regarding the reads and writes, I've seen similar result for another X5000 user, so it's good to see that it's the same for you. I'm in contact with some other developers so I hope to get something working for X5000 soonish.

I tried the latest XTools from your blog on my X5000/20.
This is the output. It does not seem to work fully and the tools can only be run once:

The support for X5000 is UNTESTED!
----------------------------------
If you'd like to continue, a few tests will be performed.
1. The first test is according to the X5000 Curys TRM.
It seemed to work for one test. But then not.
2. The second test is based on loose assumptions on how
AEons Tabor motherboard works.
The only reason you would want to run these tests is to
inform the developer on your progress.
You can abort this process now by pressing Ctrl-C and enter.
You will be asked to enter something to continue before each test.

If you got good values back from test 1, things seem to work.
If you got good values back from test 2, things in the code have to change!
If you didn't get good values, stuff will NOT work.

It should build out of the box and work on X1000. It's not too much code, and it just implements a simple circular stack so should be relatively self-explanatory. Might try and write something up on the blog explaining some more about it.
svn checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/xena-examples/code/ xena-examples
cd xena-examples/stack
make run
Oh, and yeah, this doesn’t require any extra hardware, it should just work on the plain X1000. It won’t work on X5000 even if you got it on to that chip since the localbus interface is way different.
I find logging into Amigans while only using IBrowse on a real Amiga, I have never ever once encountered such issues...
Maybe you should try it???
Of course, were AmigaOS ever get a VPN SANA driver (AHEM), to be able to properly run on a laptop or cell[phone, I suppose this all could get stickier.
...or walkero could just add a test for whether the browser was IBrowse, HTML4 and/or didn't have an AI helper bot.
IP address range is just 4 million, but 8,2 billion people live on earth, of course IPv6 should resolve that, but it not used, for most part is IPv4 that is being used. And a lot people don’t want unique IP anyways.. you know for security reasons. Even if does not really help…
I think the IPv4 addresses range is actually around 4 billion.
Because your using VPN, if you use a mobile phone you use different network and no VPN.
It can also happen, if your surfing from a open network, like a internet cafe, or open network on large airport. or a hotel, The IP address pool is not unique to you, its reused.

Typical a IP is one address per business or house hold, that being routed to different device in your local network, this works, because one IP address can have many connections.

Hi, I noticed the same thing myself, especially if I logged in on a mobile device.
When went to Amigans page from the links and the phone asked for automatic login, use that and don´t press the login button on the page or after that I got that notification.
Sometimes it did give the same notification so I cleared the browser data and start the brower, it also mattered whether the mobile of wifi connection.
Obviously a hollow threat, but I've been getting blocked on Amigans irregularly over maybe the past six months. It happened again tonight and I finally decided to ask. Tonight's message was
You are registered as BAD_IP by Protector.
This restriction will be expired on 2038-1-19 03:14:07
I would imagine it's also logged somewhere server side. Would one of the admins please explain what's going on, and which blocklist(s) "Protector" uses? If you can't tweak anything here, I'll talk to them.
Cloudflare and their kind has made me rather sensitive to false positives.
edit: I downloaded the Buildbot daily build "stable" from https://buildbot.scummvm.org/#/dailybuilds and while it does eat a lot of RAM, I got it running at least a SCUMM game.
And I am using that port for the USB cable coming from the KVM switch, so both keyboard and mouse are seen through that cable, and there is a KVM switch in between.
I'm not sure that comment in the manual should necessarily be taken as the golden truth, for instance I guess KVM switches behave differently, so some may be causing problems, while others manage to seem transparent to the system.
