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 110 of 122 | ANN.lu |

Hm the both systems are using the same CPU, right? So it must be the
CPU then? The way you are reasoning does not imply at all what part of the
system that is causing the problem. Until you have been looking into this
with a logic analyzer, you cannot tell anything about the cause. The best
you can do is guess, but if you do, don't state it as if it were facts
since you have no clue what's really going on. |
