| Awesome! What does the "experimental support" for the Catweasel controller provide? Floppy disk access from UBoot? Time to look at the sources and throw my extra Catweasel Mk4 into my flex. _________________ Sam440ep-flex 733 MHz/1 GB RAM/Radeon 9250/AmigaOS4.1 Update 2 borked A1200/Blizzard1260+SCSI-IV/Z4+MediatorZIV/Deneb/Voodoo3/CatweaselMk3 more borked A1200/MBX1200z/Indivision A500/clockport/RRNet A600/A603

| Nice!
I wonder when will that I/O extender and backplate be available? _________________ - KimmoK // For freedom, for honor, for AMIGA // // Thing that I should find more time for: CC64 - 64bit Community Computer?

| After installing the update - boot time now takes 2 seconds longer and I can't use the keyboard anylonger during boot (can't press ENTER to get into u-boot)
It's on a SAM Flex 800Mhz.
EDIT: Really strange - u-boot only reacts to the keyboard (ENTER) if there is a CD (the update) in the drive - this will get me into the U-boot updater where the update is displayed - but i can't select the update, since it dosn't react to the keyboard...
Under OS 4.1 the keyboard works finee. Last edited by bitman on 27-Nov-2009 at 10:37 PM.

Already tried that. Will try to update from DVD instead of CD to see if that changes anything. _________________ Maintainer of www.bigbookofamigahardware.com

| Problem solved - the SAM Flex manual states to use the Upper J18 USB port to be able to use keyboard under uboot. _________________ Maintainer of www.bigbookofamigahardware.com

| @Bitman I never updated the Sam, is it necessary to enter U-Boot and select the update manually to make it work? Last edited by DAX on 27-Nov-2009 at 11:20 PM.

| You create a CD or DVD with the ISO from Acube - press enter in the u-boot menu when asked to - you can only navigate the uboot menu if your keyboard is in the correct USB port (upper port on the back if the motherboard is laid down flat on you desk) _________________ Maintainer of www.bigbookofamigahardware.com

| @Bitman Thanks! I will try it tomorrow then (going to sleep now )
On a side note, this is more testament that these sleek Sams can do more than initially thought (faster boots, new graphic cards and soon New Final OS with plenty of features and optimizations). The fun is just beginning it would seem _________________ SamFlex Complete 800Mhz System + AmigaOS 4.1 Update 4 Amiga 2000 DKB 2MB ChipRam GVP G-Force040 Picasso 2 OS3.9 BB2 AmigaCD 32

| Hello! I have some questions: A) What means "as a secondary video card"? If installed, shouldn't work as primary and "only one"? B) Does this mean that OS4.1 supports Radeon HD2400? C) If "YES", will the OS supports all the MB of the Video card or only 128MB? D) Can you have a dual display on OS4.1 when a video card is installed on the PCI? E) What about RadeonHD2400XT, will that work, or the XT was shipped only in PCI-E? _________________

| It nice to see a firmware update for my sam440ep.
Faster boot times are a bonus but better hardware support is far more interesting _________________ Sam440ep 667mhz, 512MB, 120GB 2.5" HD, OS4.1FE WinUae 3.0.0, OS 3.9, BB3, Catweasel MkIV Amiga 1200, Blizzard 040/40 (BlizzardPPC 060/200 with SCSI removed at present), mediatorSX pci, Voodoo3, PCI network card os 3.9BB2 4MB Minimig with ARM addon boar

| Great to see that the SAM 440ep can now use RadeonHD cards.

| Looked at the source. "Added sperimental [sic] support for Catweasel MK4 controller" means:
1. Detecting and initializing the Catweasel MK4. 2. Initializing and programming the Catweasel MK4 FPGA. 3. Exposing the Catweasel MK4 keyboard port as a keyboard device.
It's a good start. I see that others are working on improvements to Catweasel support under AmigaOS 4; however, firmware support for Catweasel-hosted devices, i.e. a hardware abstraction layer, sounds like a good thing. _________________ Sam440ep-flex 733 MHz/1 GB RAM/Radeon 9250/AmigaOS4.1 Update 2 borked A1200/Blizzard1260+SCSI-IV/Z4+MediatorZIV/Deneb/Voodoo3/CatweaselMk3 more borked A1200/MBX1200z/Indivision A500/clockport/RRNet A600/A603
