In your quake 3 directory you need a directory called baseQ3 which contains all the data files. Where have you put all the data files??
Not sure about how it works compared to different os updates,just checked that it worked.

I will try that.

Just one more info, funnily this only adapts to when a new
download is available, say when the field is already
checkmarked due to a doenload available.
After the download i get the same field (with the same
information on whats available) EMPTY and fully drawn (if i
now checkmark it it works correctly - WHY i get that second
unchecked field after download, is beyond me, though)

Original theme:


Aqua theme:


As you can see the Aqua theme is a "liitle" better due to
some changes in GUI prefs, but still cut

@LiveForIt

Thanks for that.


Continuing my bad advices:

Oh yes the WorkBench/Kickstart/ KMOD a1.device and all useless other things like soundcards not used etc. can be removed and s/startup-sequence lines too for starters, keep the Sil- the other one can be removed too(from the other with NotePad or something else) . Good to have the boot-cd to correct any mistakes. Read the "faster bootup" -search AW how to improve OS4 bootuptime and get rid off not so usefull stuff, U-Boot delay etc... . Then get into os4Depot and emulation for more fun.

This is my startup for reference, Gygnis is assigned in
the user-startup etc. The KMOD things can be ";" uncommented but reading the stuff in threads before.

The Radeon 9200Pro should be fastest.ATM.
I changed from 8500Le to 9250 which is slower if it's true. Well there is more memory and more "bandwith" so don't
know. The change was made because of the support of os4
is for this and the Radeon7000 RV200(?) Chipsets. Not a lot of differences noticed from the change. Only one fan less
and a bit quieter...

@MamePPCA1

Sound like you did not copy the PC data files in correctly then,

I think you need unpack the data files.

@PR1

Problems whit front side USB ports are related to none standard PIN outs on motherboard, the pins + power (red) on the correct pin and ? ground (black) is on the correct and signal pins, you check that voltmeter, there should be picture or description on pin outs in PDF provided whit AmigaOne motherboard.

No it doesn't. Using a SIL card bypasses this problem completely. The issue is specifically the NIC and via IDE both using DMA.

If you dig around on AW.net, you should be able to find the specific chip in question. You need the right audio chip; there are many different AC97 versions floating around out there.

Some, but not all CPUs have a temperature monitor. Mine does (G4, 933 MHz, can't remember the model number).

Quote:
I'm not sure. I think that it's the radeon card with the highest model number that's supported, but, given ATI's weird numbering system, I don't know if it's the fastest. Definitely, anything higher doesn't have 3D support.

@quenthal

Hi there, nice to have a new os4 user now;)

It really was empty the socket for the AC97. Get CPUtemp
to monitor the heat from the machine for starters. I'm below 30C at 933Mhz. Here I have plastic clips to
secure the fan, maybe check that before earthing to push steadily, I didn't look it up as it was quiet and good.
Should be Very easy to replace, but needed?

Lots of threads about heat in AW and here maybe too. The usb from back does not work? There were some front sockets too, don't know about them. An USB- hub is recommended, the Evertech is ok. (Bought it from Gentle-Eye) Sure there is a bug but still should work. Maybe an update in the future..
The programs I have at WB-Startup are: AISS,Amidock,AsyncWB,AutoUpdateWB,ClickToFront,DefIcons, DiskImageGUI,(GFXMaps-drawer)LimpidClock,Mouseblanker,RAWBInfo,ScreenBlankerEngine.
Any other ideas? Maybe some to delete away from here too.

The WB-cd had the version(white-cd) for the last
installed to the machine. If not the latest before the July-Update, a Step-By-Step every version install after the original cd could be good? Have fun.

And Hyperion, I want my license back still!

@Antique

Does Quake 3 works better on OS 4.0 Final July update than on previous versions?
Anyway I don't know that there is a dir called baseq3 on my
quake 3 dir it doesn't exist.

@pjs

This days I think in bossiness world is absolutely necessary to have e-mail client where you can book appointments, a possibility to connect to your office using your privet network, if you?re in your office you need to be able to access your SQL server to obtain sales information, reports, number of units in stock at your storage, we also on the edge of new area where business is more and more liked up towards PDA?s and distribution nets require information shearing between different kind of systems, sales, marketing, advisement, storage and distribution, and every thing is in your local or global database, sharing document, customer information on your fileserver.

DMA and USB are not related problems.

DMA problems are problem that affects the 3COM chip and VIA686b chip, the problem is solved by rerouting some IRQ signals (there exists some Eyetech documentation about how to fix it, the PDF was leaked by distributors, you should not adamant it unless you know what your doing, experienced in electronics, some of the traces are where tiny. )

You can avoid the problem by using the VIA686b chip in PIO mode, whit the penalty of slower transferee speeds, or by not using the onboard ATA controller at all.

The USB problem is issue where USB devices are not recognised by the system, and need reboot to get system notice the devices, the problem is because some one forgot put some resistors on the motherboard, I have seen an internal USB fix, and the an external USB fix, but as long as you have stable USB connection that is never unplugged, you do not notice the problem, the easiest way to avoid the problem is use a powered USB hub between the device you unplug often.

The sound problem, the mixer chip is missing, it was present some first XE motherboards but then it was removed on newer motherboards,

This true, the cooling is only attached whit tow pins that goes throw the original CPU / Northbridge cooler on to the CPU module, and it?s not attached whit any kind spring or force towards the CPU, many have replaced the CPU cooler whit better Northbridge cooler.

@quenthal

And don't forget the Mixer themes available on OS4Depot...

Or if interested, there is also this one I might upload to OS4Depot in anyone wants it...

@cygnusEd

Great looking work! Between AbiWord and Gnumeric, we might
actually be able to start interacting with the rest of the real
(business) world with our Amigas again!



THANK YOU CygnusEd!

@DonF

Wouldn't the fact that the developers continue working on
OS4 and producing executables implicitly suggest that they
support that code's inclusion and release in Hyperion's
Amiga OS4?

Unless, of course, they are all chained up in Evert
Carton's basement...

And look at the flip-side: if they didn't support the use
of their products, I'd imagine work would stop immediately
and a page like this would appear:

Just install Filezilla server on your windows box and that will save you CPU cycles

Thanks for replys!

Few additional questions:

1) What about NIC, does it suffer from this DMA-problem in the long run?

2) About AC97-chip: there is only empty socket, where probabably that sound chip should be.. could I just rip off that chip from some pc-motherboard and put it there, or would it require some additional components?

3) Are there any temperature monitors on the XE-motherboard that could be read from OS4?

4) Is Radeon 9250 AGP is fastest 2D/3D-card currently for OS4?

@nubechecorre

Exactly what is needed... more people asking for something.

Why is it that everybody seems to want and nobody seems to make?

And before you say "I cannot program": If you don't then try to encourage the people that can instead of just asking and demanding. Offer a bounty for example.

AmigaOne has standard PC floppy controller chip, the standard PC floppy disk can only read
9 sector per track disks (720k DD) or 18 sector per track disks (1.44mb HD).

The standard Amiga controller has 11 sectors per track (880k DD), and 22 sectors per track for HD disks.

The 2en difference is that MFM encoding on magnetic media is different on PC and Amiga.

The PC controller chips are not as flexible as the Amiga controller chips,
I think it has some thing to do whit rotation speeds of floppy media,

Buy a Cat MK3 or MK4 this will work whit the driver I wrote, but only in 880k DD format, the driver I have does HD and DD, but is buggy that way it?s not available.

Prefs/USB is just a GUI for editing the files in
the ENVARC:usb/system/ directory, you can use a text editor instead.
