Both yes and no.

Sometimes the stutters can be fixed by software. Alot of work has gone into fixing the audio problems.
But the VIA686B southbridge chip suffers from interrupt problems (stated several times by OS4 audio driver author DaveAE). So heavy bus usage like advanced 3D games or such will probably never work without stuttering on A1's.
This is of course not a issue on any new hardware that may/will be released for OS4.

Exactly what files on OS4 handles screen modes in some way? ENVARC:/sys/screenmode.prefs, DEVS:picassomode96, Radeon monitor icon.. More?

Also what is the default screenmode OS4 opens when the screenmode.prefs file can't be found (with some modes put in the Radeon icon)? Any preference? Lowest resolution?

I'd like to know why creating screenmodes in Radeon icon, that I know follows the specs of my LCD, produce
a black screen (no open screen mode on the LCD)?

The Update 4 CD boots alright with the preconfigured 800x600 screen mode. But adding the very exact to my own Radeon icon of the OS4 install produce nothing. Also even if I copy the screenmode prefs file from the CD to my system produce nothing.

Screen modes that work flawlessly on Windows aren't possible to open on my OS4 (outside specs the LCD says). If I fiddle with the frame sizes in PicassoMode96 I can open a 1280x1024 test screen though.

I have a ViewTronic VP730 17" LCD and a ?A1-C.

EDIT: Please OS4 Team, we need a proper screen mode creator GUI setup, a new and improved PicassoMode96 if you will.

Same here. Anyways, they seem to be doing quite well, in spite of the naysayers. Their workforce has been expanding by 100% per year for the past 3 years, and they seem to be branching out into all kinds of new money making ventures.

Not to mention OS5, which has been started already. Good things are happening!

I think this i a very good step forward.

If they can reach 1% of their games-users then
that is a good commercial for AmigaOS.

And if 1% of those Amiga Forever users come in contact with
OS4 + the new hardware in the comming months then that
is a good thing for Hyperion and the Amiga community.

It is what they always wanted to do, get a foot in the door of
the pc-world and try to get AmigaOS in some way on those
systems to reach the ex-users and attract new users.

I see a bright future ahead, and no, i am not one of the 99%
of the Amiga Inc. haters, I still believe in the big picture.

They seem to be busy, I came acrossed this site while looking for information about C# on AmigaOS (google search: Amiga C#)

http://amigadevindia.com/html/aboutadi.htm

Wow I don't recall seeing that on there. So Amiga Inc. does indeed have an OS for sale? Crazyness I tell you. I was starting to think they got out of the OS market all together. Maybe they have.

You can buy Amiga Forever 2006 from the Amiga Inc. site.

News Item?

Chris, you might add that all of the commands in the SDK come from Linux origins and use "--help" (or some variation of it). On the other hand, all the Amiga commands in C: are written to use ReadArgs and use the "?" option.

Thus we have two "Date" and two "Sort" commands, each with different syntax and options. Many others also.

@lazi

You have the SDK installed. Either rename the offending commands or specify the path as well, eg c:sort ?

Adding C: to the start of the path command in s:startup-sequence should do the trick as well (it defaults to being at the end of the search path for some reason).

Chris

Hi!

I found that some of the shell commands does not
follow the same style guide.

10.work:>sort ?
sort: open failed: ?: No such file or directory

However this way working:

10.Work:Web/www.tekalasz.hu/Data> sort --help
Usage: sort [OPTION]...

The same happens with dir.

EDIT:

I did not know about sdk:local/c is in the path and it has
some file with the same name as c: which works other way.

Sorry for the incompetence.

bye!

I do have to admit that I was disappointed to see AW.net turning blue after my 3 year absence, but thankfully this site was opened not too long after my venture back into the world of Amiga. You guys get a big "Thanks!" from me too!

@sven

Which one is that?

Maybe I'll ask for a subscription from Santa for Christmas!

@Niolator

Well, as i don't like fans on gfx cards (they are all noisy
as hell) and as i have silence my A1 completely, i put this
baby on my 9800, never had problems, though yet to be tested
when the 3D chip kicks in...you loose a PCI port but you win
silence

What i'm trying to say is, drop the fan, get heatpipes,
they ain't expensive
