Sam460CR + OS4.1 Final Edition question!

I am waiting to purchase a Sam460CR, which my wild guess, is that it will come bundled with the OS4.1 Final Edition disc. I will be building my own system (probably) with a 5450 video card.

Now the problem lies with the fact that the Sam460CR does not have any on-board videocard. So, assuming that the latest A-EON Radeon drivers are not included on the CD, how would one go around installing Amiga OS4.1 AND getting a video output from the 5450 video card?

Thanks in advance!

That's great! Where will we be able to buy the AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition CD? I guess AmigaKit, right? :)

Hello

The RadeonHD 1.2 is a free upgrade for customers who have bought v1 from us.

It is not included in the Final Edition. We recently commissioned a new Lite Edition of the RadeonHD driver.

We are working with ACube/Hyperion currently to enable a Lite Edition of the RadeonHD for emergency boot purposes of the AmigaOS CD.

Nothing "murky" here- sorry- cannot understand your comment.

@everblue

Forgot to add that RadeonHD supports selected 5000, 6000, 7000 and R5, R7, R9 cards: see Amiwest Press Release for more detail:

This is fantastic news, and I guess, explains the Sam460CR as my guess is that it will be bundled with the system/motherboard. Kudos to Amigakit and everyone else involved.

Actually i have to adapt my answer above a little.

According to AmigaKit on this AmigaWorld.net thread the Radeon v1.2 driver will not be on the FE CD.

Rather a stripped down version is in production to give new users the ability to boot from the CD
AmigaKit in the AW.net thread

It's surely going to be great anyway :) I assume it's the 2.4 version of RadeonHD that will be on the AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition CD? Probably a wild guess. I might be wrong. :)

So the 'lite' version WILL be included on OS4.1 FE disc, right?
