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.

Amiga.org.pl komputer Amiga współcześnie Spis treści AMIGA legenda informatyki 2 Retro 4 Emulacja 6 Współczesna Amiga nowej generacji 11 MorphOS 17 AROS 24 Amiga dzisiaj Zainteresowanie komputerem Amiga jest nieprzemijające. Niezależnie od tych, którzy mają Amigę “od zawsze”, biegnie współcześnie jej nieprzerwany rozwój, i to wielotorowo. Oprócz tego możemy cieszyć się różnymi hobbystycznymi rozwinięciami, pozwalającymi w sposób bardziej wygodny korzystać z rozrywki w formie retro. Amiga dzisiaj to “amigowanie”, wielka różnorodność i wiele smaków 1 Amiga retro AMIGA legenda informatyki AMIGA - pierwszy na świecie komputer multimedialny. Premiera w 1985 r. Wcześniej były inne innowacyjne konstrukcje (np. firmy Xerox czy Lisa firmy Apple) ale to Amiga wnosiła fenomenalną na ówczesne czasy grafikę, animację i dźwięk. Architektura komputera to specjalizowane układy odciążające procesor. artyści Andy Warhole i Debby Harry przy pierwszej Amidze Rewelacją był też wielozadaniowy system operacyjny. Prasa branżowa potraktowała wtedy Amigę jako zabawkę, nie wiadomo było co z tym robić. Ten pierwszy model nazywał się po prostu Amiga, potem nazywano go Amiga 1000. Projekt wraz z zespołem który go stworzył, z genialnym Jayem Minerem na czele, trafił pod skrzydła CBM (Commodore Business Machines), giganta w tamtym okresie jeśli chodzi o produkcję komputerów na świecie. Kolejne modele pojawiły się 2 lata później – dopiero one odniosły sukces. Amiga 2000 i Amiga 500, oparte na podobnych podzespołach, okienkowy graficzny interfejs – Workbench jednocześnie rozdzieliły pierwotną koncepcję na dwie linie komputerów – “duże” i “małe” Amigi. 2 Amiga retro “Duże” Amigi przypominały PC, były to desktopy, umożliwiające rozbudowę za pomocą kart rozszerzeń. Za sprawą rozszerzenia Video Toaster stały się na jakiś czas standardem w edycji wideo.

Subject: : Amiga General Forum Topic: : AmiWest 2012 News? Re: AmiWest 2012 News? Author: : Anonymous Date: : 2012/10/30 14:31:48 URL: Quote: Today, if you ask the very same question for your AmigaOne 500 ou AmigaOne X1000, the answer is RadeonHD 5xxx and 6xxx series. And you'll be able to sell your Radeon HD 4xxxx card to a PC user for example. Well difference between 9000 series wasnt that effective as it is now, and all cards were fully supported. Point is that RadeonHD transition is biggest step forward, but it is sad indeed that all those who basically got SAM 460 and X1000 for RadeonHD (4000 series) will have to suffer with further 2D only. As well as those who jump to RadeonHD 6000 now, sice driver development is assured, but no Warp3D implementation yet. This also sounds like a quick "adjust to the avail resources" thing way more then a plan - it would sound better if first RadeonHD 2D driver supported 6000 series and 4000 was never sold as according card. No current Amiga reseller sells this card too. Now, we just have to adjust. @hans Quote: So, you want 4000 series Warp3D drivers too? Are you prepared to contribute financially to make it happen? If so, then let A-EON know. With enough demand, it could happen. This is something that could work as a Kickstarter project. Yes, if it would be an opened bounty with set goal. These cards are getting unavail, but are not bad at all. And you see that merely all current SAM 460ex and X1000 users feel kind of betrayed with this kind of decision, even its all your good work and we all need to be grateful for your hard work.
