AmigaOS 4.1 FE classic and dual GFX board configuration (Radeon and Voodoo 3)

Post by reflex79 »

Hello

is it possibile to use both a Voodoo 3 and a Radeon 9250 GFX card on Amiga4000 with AmigaOS 4.1FE?
when i install the OS it only recognizes the Voodoo 3 and when i boot up the Amiga after installation there is no way to add or find the Radeon, what's wrong? I'd like to use the Radeon 9250 on the OS4.1 side while i use the Voodoo3 on AmigaOS 3.2 partition so i want to keep both in the tower.
Any suggestion is welcome

Same here, i also would like to use the radeon för os4 and voodoo för classic os.
I think i even started a thread about it many years ago.

Anyway the answer i found was "no"
It does not even help to disable the voodoo driver in the kicklayout.

The only working solution i found was someone who had installed som kind of HW switch to disable the voodoo.
But i have no idea how to build that switch.

To usage Radeon under AOS 4.1 with Voodoo card in PCi slot (Mediator), you can lock pin A26 (Init Device Select).
Pinout PCi here: http://pinouts.ru/Slots/PCI_pinout.shtml
