AmigaOS 4.1 Classic - Hardware issues

Hi to all

Few weeks a go I bought the OS 4.1 Classic to convert my A4KD's in dual Systems 3.9 - 4.1

But after long time fighting with the "new" OS I'm really frustrated....

Bassically my systems have:

- CSPPC
- UW-SCSI HDD's & DVD's
- Mediator 4000D
- Elbox FastATA MK-V
- Voodoo3 3000
- Elbox Radeon 9200 256MB
- ZoRAM
- DENEB
- Toccata
- .......

Under 3.9 BB3 I use the UW-SCSI devices to Boot & work, and the Elbox FastATA MK-V with two HDD's connected for backup purpouses. Well, OS 4.1 Classic don't boot with the FastATA MK-V Installed.....

Also under 3.9 I use my Voodoo3 for Warp3D games/apps & Radeon to HiRes Workbench at 1600x900 32 bit and more memory on the system. Well, OS 4.1 Classic don't work with two PCI boards installed. I need to take out the Radeon if I want Warp3D in both systems. But 16MB VRAM and GPU of the Voodoo3 are, of course, very poor compared with the power of the Radeon.....

I don't know, but OS 4.1 Classic appears like designed for A1200 systems..... Maybe a new Update is in developmment? Maybe a new kernel, drivers & libraries with bugs fixed?

I think, lot of people needs/wants a dual system, not only 4.1 Classic......

Thanks in advance & Best regards

Pablo
