If I understood you correctly, you completely integrated the former SFS2 into SFS >= 1.275 by using the DOSType CFS\02 now.
DOSType 'SFS\2', 0x53465302. Quote: That way I should be able to format a harddrive of 500GB with OS3.x to its whole size into single partition. Yes, but unless you have software which supports files larger than 4 GB, wich is very unlikely especially on AmigaOS 3.x, you shouldn't use 'SFS\2' partitions, especially not such a large one. There are no recovery tools for the new 'SFS\2' format yet, and even if you use a 2nd SATA2 HD for backups creating and restoring 500 GB backups takes a lot of time ...

Start AmiDVD, select the USB burner in the 2nd tab and burn an image. If AmiDVD doesn't display it in the drive chooser I don't know what's wrong since I don't have an USB burner, the output of "MountInfo USB_CD0:" may help.

If I understood you correctly, you completely integrated the former SFS2 into SFS >= 1.275 by using the DOSType CFS\02 now. That way I should be able to format a harddrive of 500GB with OS3.x to its whole size into single partition. I tried so with Amithlon (OS3.9.2) on my ASUS A8V Deluxe which has a supported SATA controller onboard. The drive shows up correctly in HDToolBox and can be fully prepared there. But I am not allowed to make any partition bigger than 128GB. Did I understand the Changelogs and your calculation wrongly? Can it be addressed in future versions to make use of the whole drive as one single partition?

@MamePPCA1 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. ![](https://www.amigans.net/uploads/smil3dbd4d6422f04.gif)

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) Quote: /me runs after Raziel screaming...:)

@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...

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.

Few additional questions:
1) What about NIC, does it suffer from this DMA-problem in the long run?
No it doesn't. Using a SIL card bypasses this problem completely. The issue is specifically the NIC and via IDE both using DMA. Quote: 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?
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. Quote: 3) Are there any temperature monitors on the XE-motherboard that could be read from OS4?
Some, but not all CPUs have a temperature monitor. Mine does (G4, 933 MHz, can't remember the model number). Quote: 4) Is Radeon 9250 AGP is fastest 2D/3D-card currently for OS4?
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. Hans

@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!

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.

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.

@quenthal Quote: 1) DMA and USB: Is this SIL card and USB-hub enough to avoid those hw/dma-problems? What about ethernet usage? If DMA-problem can cause errors with ethernet, should I use PCI-NIC? What about PCI USB? Are DMA-modes possible/recommended with SIL?
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, Quote: 1) CPU & cooling: There is (probably original) heatsink and fan on the CPU, which seems little "wiggly"
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.
