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."

That doesn't help the customer that loses important data now.
>Hyperion and others don't have that luxury. And remember, it's a new system.
If they're not able to fix it in time then they should not sell a system from
which they know that it can cause data loss to end users without warning them
before.
>Remember how long it took before programmers found out how to get the best
>speeds out of the CyberstormPPC and BlizzardPPC.
I think speed problems and losing data cannot be compared. |
