Amigaos 3.2 FAQ 47.1 (09.04.2021) English $VER: AmigaOS 3.2 FAQ 47.1 (09.04.2021) English Please note: This file contains a list of frequently asked questions along with answers, sorted by topics. Before trying to contact support, please read through this FAQ to determine whether or not it answers your question(s). Whilst this FAQ is focused on AmigaOS 3.2, it contains information regarding previous AmigaOS versions. Index of topics covered in this FAQ: 1. Installation 1.1 * What are the minimum hardware requirements for AmigaOS 3.2? 1.2 * Why won't AmigaOS 3.2 boot with 512 KB of RAM? 1.3 * Ok, I get it; 512 KB is not enough anymore, but can I get my way with less than 2 MB of RAM? 1.4 * How can I verify whether I correctly installed AmigaOS 3.2? 1.5 * Do you have any tips that can help me with 3.2 using my current hardware and software combination? 1.6 * The Help subsystem fails, it seems it is not available anymore. What happened? 1.7 * What are GlowIcons? Should I choose to install them? 1.8 * How can I verify the integrity of my AmigaOS 3.2 CD-ROM? 1.9 * My Greek/Russian/Polish/Turkish fonts are not being properly displayed. How can I fix this? 1.10 * When I boot from my AmigaOS 3.2 CD-ROM, I am being welcomed to the "AmigaOS Preinstallation Environment". What does this mean? 1.11 * What is the optimal ADF images/floppy disk ordering for a full AmigaOS 3.2 installation? 1.12 * LoadModule fails for some unknown reason when trying to update my ROM modules. What can I do? 1.13 * I installed without selecting appropriate keymaps and/or printer drivers. Is there a way to fix this without reinstalling? 2. Hard disks and file systems 2.1 * Can I use partitions beyond the 4 GB boundary? 2.2 * How do I setup a new drive with HDToolBox? I do not see the drive in the selection box at all; what is wrong? 2.3 * Long filenames--I was promised long filenames! How do I use them? 2.4 * But Workbench still limits my filenames to 30 characters! 2.5 * I read something about a setting called "Max Transfer", which is a value I need to manually adjust according to my system. How do I set it up? 2.6 * When mounting the CD file system on an XSurfIDE device, reading large DVDs results in an "-3" error being shown. 2.7 * My Amiga now takes about 10 minutes to boot my new 3.2 64 GB partition. What is going on? 2.8 * How can I make HDToolBox estimate the block size for my new drive? 2.9 * I am trying to format and/or validate my 32 GB drive and I can't; the system gives me an error saying that there is not enough memory, but I have 8 MB of RAM. What is happening? 2.10 * Should I defragment my drives? 2.11 * What is a "SuperFloppy"? 2.12 * How do I mount a SuperFloppy? 2.13 * How do I properly create CrossDOS mount file? I have no clue. 2.14 * Why is it that HDToolBox does not allow me to use my CF (Compact Flash) card? 2.15 * Is there a way to completely dismount a device? 2.16 * Is it possible for AmigaOS to use Mac drives? 2.17 * Should "SCSI Direct Transfer" always be enabled in HDToolBox? 2.18 * What is the problem in using different DOSType partitions? 2.19 * Why does my existing SmartFilesystem (SFS) partitions show up twice? 2.20 * Why does HDToolBox limit partitions on A2091/A590 to 4 GB? 2.21 * Why did my 4x IDE adapter stopped working when I installed 3.2? 2.22 * My CD-ROM drive does not work on my SCSI/IDE bus when it is set to unit 0. What is the problem? 2.23 * I have issues partitioning my Ultra Wide SCSI disks on my CyberStorm PPC/CyberStorm Mk3 accelerator. What can I do? 3. CPU Support and SetPatch 3.1 * I manually installed (and now get a warning from) SetPatch on unknown options. 3.2 * Where did the extended functionality of SetPatch go? 3.3 * Does my 68060 work out-of-the-box now or do I still have to hack the ROM? 3.4 * When booting the system, the Startup-sequence stops and gives me a warning about an incomplete installation. What is missing? 3.5 * Where do I find the CPU libraries, and how do I install them? 3.6 * ...but I lost my original support disk of my accelerator board! 3.7 * Where do I find a 68030.library? My board did not come with one. 3.8 * Couldn't you just package the CPU libraries with the OS? 3.9 * Couldn't you just ship the Commodore 68040.library? 3.10 * What about the dummy 68040.library? My old turbo board manual mentions that I have to install it, and rename it. 3.11 * I get a note from the CPU command on CPU errata. What should I do? 3.12 * Why is it that when I use the 68030.library, 68040.library or 68060.library from the MMULib package some extra megabytes of memory are consumed? 4. Performance and compatibility 4.1 * The Pointer and/or Locale Prefs render incorrectly on my screen. 4.2 * Why is SetPatch so slow? 4.3 * OS 3.2 is terribly slow! 4.4 * The system crashes as soon as I play a stereo 8SVX audio file. 4.5 * What about all those widely used system patches? Can I use them? 4.6 * Can I use the FBlit patch with AmigaOS 3.2? 4.7 * I am using Picasso96 with the "Native" driver, both downloaded from Aminet, and I get some issues displaying transparent images. 4.8 * How can I display HAM or EHB animations on my graphics card? 4.9 * Is there a way to speed up CDXL animations? 4.10 * How can I make anims go faster? 4.11 * Why is an AmigaGuide that has built-in images consuming so much Chip RAM? 4.12 * ClassAction and IconEdit from 3.9 do not install/work under AmigaOS 3.2.

Fermi 5, 50125 Firenze, Italy Received 31 July 2006 / Accepted 26 September 2006 ABSTRACT Aims. We describe the mid- (MIR) and far- (FIR) infrared properties of a large (∼1000) sample of the most isolated galaxies in the local Universe. This sample is intended as a “nurture-free” zero point against which more environmentally influenced samples can be compared. Methods. We reprocess IRAS MIR/FIR survey data using the ADDSCAN/SCANPI utility for 1030 out of 1050 galaxies from the Catalogue of Isolated Galaxies (CIG) as part of the AMIGA project. We focus on diagnostics (FIR luminosity LFIR, R = log(LFIR/LB), and IRAS colours) thought to be sensitive to effects of environment or interaction.

  • Dualbooting Amigaos 4 and Amigaos 3.5/3.9
    Dualbooting AmigaOS 4 and AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 By Christoph Gutjahr. Licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License This tutorial explains how to turn a classic Amiga into a dualboot system that lets you choose the desired operating system - AmigaOS 4 or AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 - at every cold start. A "cold start" happens when... 1. the computer has just been switched on 2. you press the key combination Control-Amiga-Amiga for more than ten seconds while running AmigaOS 3 3. you press Control-Alt-Alt (instead of Control-Amiga-Amiga) under AmigaOS 4 During a "warm reboot" (e.g. by shortly pressing Control-Amiga-Amiga), the operating system that is currently used will be booted again. Requirements This tutorial is only useful for people using AmigaOS 3.5 or 3.9 in addition to AmigaOS 4. If you're using an older version of OS 3, you can not use the scripts described below. The Amiga in question should have two boot partitions - one for AmigaOS 4 and one for AmigaOS 3.5/3.9, both should be below the famous 4 GB barrier. The OS 4 partition must have a higher boot priority. Two different solutions There are two different approaches for dualbooting: the first one described below will display a simple 'boot menu' at every cold boot, asking the user to select the OS he wants to boot. The other solution explained afterwards will always boot into AmigaOS 4, unless the user enters the "Early Startup Menu" and selects the OS 3 partition as the boot drive.

  • 19. CD-ROM Games
    Forthcoming in WOLF, Mark J.P. (ed.). Video Game History: From Bouncing Blocks to a Global Industry, Greenwood Press, Westport, Conn. 19. CD-ROM Games Carl Therrien While it became a standard relatively recently, disc-based storage goes a long way back in the history of video game distribution. The term encompasses a wide range of technologies, from magnetic floppy discs, analog laserdiscs, to a variety of digital optical media. Of the latter, the CD-ROM enjoyed the strongest following and the longest lifespan; as of 2006, a significant number of PC games are still burned on CDs. When it became the most common video game distribution format in the mid nineteen-nineties, the compact disc was already a standard in the music industry. In contrast to the magnetic tapes used for the distribution of albums and movies, optical discs allowed relatively fast, random, non-linear access to the content. But these features were already common in the realm of cartridge-based video game systems; the ROMs in Atari 2600 or Super Nintendo game cartridges were directly connected to the system’s working memory and could be read instantly. The CD drive optical head couldn’t compete; as a matter of fact, optical discs introduced the infamous “loading” screen to the console gamer. Video games benefited first and foremost from the storage capabilities of the CD-ROM. While the CD format shares its core technical principle with the more recent DVD standard (found in the Xbox and PlayStation 2) and other dedicated formats (such as the Dreamcast’s GD-ROM and the Gamecube optical disc), this chapter will focus solely on the integration of CD-ROM technology and its consequences on game design and development.
