Yes.

Saimo, I seriously doub that Idefix actually gives any performance boost.

I do have a Idefix Experess and I get same performance with and without it.

I posted actual figures from my real A1200 - here they are again:
* without IDEFix: 1705926 B/s
* with IDEFix: 2131252 B/s
IDEFix provides a 25% gain.

Will this work well with my a1200 with a mediator, sound card, spider usb etc, and what about Warp3D?
Cheers

Running it here with the following in my Mediator TX :-

Radeon9250 and Voodoo 3 with Picasso96 3.02
Warp3D works when I have the Voodoo Card in, currently the Radeon is back in as my A1200T is dual booting 3.2 / 4.1

No issues with the Indivision MK3 AGA and HighGFX either.

Roadshow works fine with MediatorNet.device (RTL8029AS)

Rapid Road on the clock port and no issues with Poseidon 4.5.

Hope that helps.

Thats great cheers, good to know.

I think I will keep 3.2 on my b1230 based machine for the moment and save the tower (b1260 and mediator) for when I have the time to try and reinstall all of that stuff though. It was a right pain getting warp3d to work originally and I cannot remember quite how I did it.....

Thanks for the info re rapid road etc, I will need that actually indeed.

OS 3.2!

Wow

I sort of skipped OS3.1.4 as I am running OS3.9 on my A3000. And I have FINALLY everything running stable on that setup....

But this update is intriguing.....
Quick question: I know that the new Kickstart will boot on an 060 but is the A3000 version of mathieesingbas.library now also compatible with an FPU-less (eg 68LC060) CPU?

BTW AmigaOS releases numbering kinda reminds that of Starwars

wiser3 · 17 May 2021, 05:38

Does Amiga OS3.2 recognize the 68080?

Minuous · 17 May 2021, 06:41

Recognize it for what purpose? It is supposed to be compatible, is it not?

TuKo · 17 May 2021, 07:01

Works fine with it

So the system doesn't report that i need to install a library when i don't. And i like system information screen to make accurate reports.

VampireMap/VampireFlash tools do install a dummy 68040.library for that purpose

Kickstart 3.1 and older chokes on a 060 with fpu. Something to do with stack frame if I recall correctly. This is fixed in 3.1.4 onwards.
On top of that you will need a 68060.library to implement missing instructions that older software may use.

My question relates to whether the rom based mathieesingbas library in the A3000 now also works without FPU. Not a big problem if it doesn't though but just nice to know.

That's highly optimistic

You can find it on Aminet, it is the same version as integrated within 3.2.
So you can easily grab it and read its docs.

Hi Gulliver, thanks for all the info. I'd be interested in 3.2 for my CD32, but from what I see it seems the CD doesn't contain a custom ROM for it, so it would need to always double reboot, is that right? I've noticed that on a YouTube video that shows the content of the ROM folder.

But then here: https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-...3-2::1068.html

I can see they offer an option for a physical CD32 ROM.

Can you please clarify if that's something experimental or just a mistake?
