from email received yesterday:
Emulation package:
And yes, that includes a PowerPC Amiga (with 1+ GB of RAM,
preconfigured PCI bridge, Picasso IV, Ethernet and more).
Installing your favorite PPC OS from CD or ISO image (not
included) takes only a few mouse clicks.

| It would be nice if someone knew if it's actually 1 GB of RAM inside the
emulation.
But even if there isn't, this is a great development. A pre-set emulation package for
AmigaOS 4.1 FE. 
In fact, I've already bought AF 2016. But I don't have a PC at hand for a week or so more, so can't test... Last edited by Kotler on 30-Nov-2015 at 06:32 AM.

| This is what memstat and showconfig output (using 512MB ZorroIII- and 128MB CyberstormPPC RAM). Emulation feels much faster than under WinUAE, but thats my personal impression. https://www.dropbox.com/s/wrnu9wlwf7tbcgn/AOS41FE_AF.png?dl=0 Last edited by miggymac on 30-Nov-2015 at 08:22 AM.

would of been reasonable just to pm the link, rather put it in a public forum. _________________

Having a memory board on OS4 isn't new.
The question is: is it used as swap or as main memory. I think they said it wasn't possible without (tiny) OS4 modifications._________________

According to the output of memstat, i would say it is used as swap, but i'm not an expert. Maybe the cyberstormppc.rom has seen an "update" by cloanto? Would be useful if the italians can give some hints. Last edited by miggymac on 30-Nov-2015 at 11:03 AM.

We got sent the link because we're previous owners, once google indexes this part of the forum, it will be public on google, I doubt Cloanto would want that. _________________

Shame on Cloanto for not putting any restrictions on who can order the special offer, then. _________________
This weeks pet peeve:
Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean. |
