From a news-item at VGR.com it appears that the current Articia-northbridges might still have DMA-related problems:
"Mr. S.W. who sends over screen shots of newer AmigaOne 800mhz G4 hardware, has sent over 2 screen shots of the new A1 with G4 running 'amigaone xe/g4 7451 800mhz, excalibur radeon 9000 pro 64mb ddr ram, valueram kvr133x72rc3/256 kingston'. He wants to know '.. if other aone users have that problem as well..', 'it never outputs the same checksum with dma enabled when testing an iso file which is larger than the swap space used'
You can see the Radeon 9000 Pro screen shots here: DMA On & DMA Off."

Articia: Still DMA-problems? : Comment 107 of 122 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Nate Downes on 22-May-2003 16:28 GMT | In reply to Comment 50 (Mayonaise): There is an arguement against your statement, however:
The same bug exists on both the pre-April'd Pegasos and the current
AmigaONE's. These two motherboards run different southbridges
(admittedly, from the same manufacturer, VIA). These two southbridges
have different bugs, which are well documented and are not alike in
mannerism.
In short, the same bug exists on both setups, yet these setups only
share 1 component, the northbridge. The Southbridges are different in
both cases, but the bug is the same. This says that the bug cannot be
in the southbridge.
So please, let's try this again from the top, shall we? |
