In reply to Comment 31 (Anonymous):
Currently, as best we can tell the options on the A1 hardware with Linux are

1. Switch off IDE DMA, disk I/O performance is terrible (unless your previous experience is with something out of the ark, like an Amiga or a RiscPC). When accessing the hard disks the machine will struggle to get anything else done. You may still experience crackle (audio DMA corruption), unusually high error rates for networking (NIC DMA corruption) and it's probably also dangerous to use SCSI (not many tests done).

Quite a few people have disabled IDE DMA and continued to use their A1s, they seem more or less happy. Amiga owners have learned to put up with high prices and poor quality, and anyway they were looking forward to OS4.

2. Leave IDE DMA on, risk potentially unlimited data corruption, mysterious crashes, etc.

Some people have done this too. A few claim not to have seen any corruption, on the other hand some of those complained extensively about mysterious crashes, weird problems no-one else could reproduce... draw your own conclusions.
