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 45 of 122 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Johan Rönnblom on 20-May-2003 16:03 GMT | In reply to Comment 44 (Leki): I'd say it's more a bit like this:
(rumour) There's a dma bug in A1 and P.
P camp: (silence)
A1 leaflet: There is a bug!
P engineers: The bug is in A.
P boss: We'll replace all P's to fix A.
A1 lawyer: For the record, there is no bug in A.
P boss: There's no A without B.
A1 boss: There's no bug.
A1 engineers: (silence)
(all P's are replaced, at great cost)
P boss: P didn't work! We had to fix it!
A1 boss: We've fixed the A1.
A1 lawyer: The new A1 has the A fixed.
(rumours: the A1 is not really fixed)
anonymous: The A1 still has a bug, look!
A1 lawyer: We've known this all along, we'll fix it. We're sure it has
nothing to do with A, though.
P supporter: How can you know this, when P's engineers says it's in
A?
A1 supporter: A1 engineers says it has nothing to do with A, it must
be so!
P supporter: Ok, but P engineers say it does, and after all
they already fixed it, unlike the A1 engineers. Isn't this worth
considering?
A1 supporter: What, you don't trust A1 engineers!? |
