| Great news!
But OS4 support is a critical feature missing. :( _________________ AmigaOS 4.x Beta Tester - Classic Amiga enthusiast - http://www.hd-zone.com is my Amiga Blog, check it out!

Yeah, this is very stupid. 128mb is enough for OS3.9 use but OS4.0 Classic users could probably do with more! Where's the OS4.0 Classic support? _________________ "Art challenges technology. Technology inspires the art." John Lasseter, Co-Founder of Pixar Animation Studios

Well with OS4, it looks like they dumped AutoConfig and proper OS integrated ROM drivers for Windows like disk based drivers. 
So no wonder it isn't supported. But still, surely, they can allow support for these cards. Perhaps BindDrivers is too late, but having a kernel module would help IMHO, since it is the OS4 disk way. |

Morphos for Amiga Classic PPC is free of charge so I won't blame MorphOS team for the lack of support of the ZorRam Card.
But it's an other story about Amiga OS 4.0 For Classic. I paid the full price for the licence fee and a few month after they droped the price. And since that time no update ...
I think that Amiga OS 4.0 For Classic is a dead end, so better use AOS 4.X on Amiga NG like the Sam or soon the Amiga One X1000.Last edited by TorajaBoy on 08-Jun-2010 at 03:44 PM.

Ok I forget this one, The main changes in this update is the support of the new mediator TX and I don't have Elbox Mediator. Yep some Arexx Lib missing, a new version of DvPlayer SE, Updated RealTek 8029 network driver,etc...
Amiga OS 4 For Classic release date 23 October, 2007 and last and only update on the 23. February, 2008. Since that time no update, still no more than 128MB of ram on Cyberstorm PPC and 256 MB on Blizzard PPC but without SCSI Support. I expected more support for a full licence fee... Like I said it's a dead end. |
