AmigaOS4 for Classic - 30th November

[Stephen Coates]

Has anyone seen the OS4/Classic video from IntuitionBase that was made a couple of years ago?

That video shows it running on a 160MHz PPC (I think it's 160) and it looks OK in the Workbench.

No I haven't
That's the second time in two days someone has mentioned intuitionbase.
Where is it?

[Stephen Coates]

The video is here:
http://intuitionbase.com/multimedia/OS4_BPPC.avi (MJPEG)
http://intuitionbase.com/multimedia/OS4_BPPC.mpg (MPEG1)

It is in the Multimedia section at www.intuitionbase.com

Are 2 files the same videos with different extension ? Or different videos?

[Stephen Coates]

Same video. Just different formats.

I downloaded the .avi one which works fine in Windows media player.

I did the mpg workfs fine also.

AVI version is 49MB, and MPG one is only 29MB, so if you don't want to wait as long opt for the MPG one.

I'm downloading it now.

At long last the compatability list is up on http://www.acube-systems.com/compatibility/ and Amikit have listed the price as £59.99. However it looks like if i do buy it it'll be hope and pray that it works. If you have a GREX PCI slot then you're going to be dissapointed. If you own a PCI soundcard then again dissapointment unless the soundcard supports DMA. And theres no mention of Clockport devices.

That at least seems to be quite an extensive compatibility list with reasons given for any issues. More than could be hoped for from many developers.

As you say, it does seem that many things are not compatible, but I suppose they have to draw the line somewhere or else they could be working on the OS for much longer trying to get all hardware to work.

Hopefully once the OS is released people will try and write drivers to get some of the hardware to work again. Especially things like the A4000T onboard SCSI and the BLizzard SCSI module which it both states won't work!
