It’s time to rebuild my Amithlon system, not for any real fault, more so for correcting a few misconfigured things (PFS3, Kickstart) and creating more defined partitions and what I want to install on them.  Playing with Lightwave 3d made … Continue reading →

After playing with my A4000T and the Video Toaster, I fired up LightWave 3d to play around.  Yep, just as I remembered, fun but time consumingly boring when it comes to rendering a scene, even just rendering a still frame. … Continue reading →

I picked up a Mac Mini G4 (2 of them actually) and played around a bit with MorphOS.  I haven’t decided yet if it’s worth the license price, though having a 30 minute “use” window between reboots makes comparing it … Continue reading →

Very little to add or update other than I added the Supported Hardware list to the blog, which some may find useful.  While I’ve been working on setting up my A4000T, I’ve recognized that I may have a few configuration … Continue reading →

I was lucky enough to have an A4000T fall in to my hands, so the A4000D is going away and the A4000T is taking it’s place.  Same layout but now I won’t have to worry about the ZorroII/III/Video cards I … Continue reading →

Thanks to a very helpful/generous friend my A4000 has become “better” and bringing it closer to a more appropriate Amithlon comparison. What’s been added?  A WarpEngine4040 (68040 @ 40Mhz) with 128 MB ram.  The X-Surf 100 has been updated with … Continue reading →

Amiga 4000 The A4000 is getting most of my attention at the moment.  I’m working on a decent setup so that I can compare a nice A4000 against a nice Amithlon system.  With a Video Toaster4000, a Video Flyer and an … Continue reading →

I happened across a crazy deal that resulted in me being the proud owner of an Amiga 4000 once again 🙂   It was probably the mid 90’s that I’ve last owned an Amiga computer so with all the emulation … Continue reading →

After many different apps installed and removed, partitions created, deleted, recreated with different filesystems (pfs3 vs. ffs) my Amithlon machine started flaking out when writing to the IDE hard drive (500 GB).  Not completely unexpected, this hard drive had been … Continue reading →

***Bonus tweak It was mentioned to me that adding crusoe to the init string will allow Amithlon to boot in Virtualbox without the need to time a key press.  I’ve tested and it does appear to function. kern310 init=/linuxrc console_level=0 root=/dev/ram0 … Continue reading →
