AmigaOne: AmigaOS 4 boots with ATI Radeon support
Forefront Technologies which are the developers of the ATI Radeon driver for AmigaOS 4.0
on "classic" Amiga systems have announced in a
press release
that AmigaOS 4.0 has been booted on an AmigaOne with an ATI Radeon graphic board for the
first time. Today Jürgen Schober of point.design
has succeeded in booting AmigaOS under use of a forefront technology driver on an
AmigaOne-XE G4 with ATI Radeon 7000.
Originally the driver should not have been ported to the AmigaOne (because SNAP driver
are supposed to be used here) but there have been the need of a quickly available
transition solution. The port worked without any problems.
The driver which have been successfully tested under AmigaOS 4.0 on Classic Amiga computers as well as
on the AmigaOne is now in beta stadium and is currently optimized for compatibility not on
speed - currently it is worked for a better blitter support.
Additionally a screenshot
of AmigaOS 4 (with seperate system programs) has been published on a Radeon 7000.
