    Hi everybody !

    So here are my tries with a 1200 + GREX under MOS 1.4.5 :

    RTL8139 (B/d) : sometime the time hangs directly before the early kickstart, if i go further, it crashes MOS.

    Fortmedia FM801 : cause problems at the BPPC init stage ! It disables all PCI card. if i go further, it crashes MOS.

    Ess Solo1 : damn, I don't find the way to make it works.

    RTL8029 : seems to work with the original 68k drivers if it is in a DMA slot.

    SB128 : sometime the time hangs directly before the early kickstart, if i go further, it is not used by MOS (drivers ?? I used the lastest AHI for MOS).

    SB Live! (emu10k1) : sometime the time hangs directly before the early kickstart, if i go further, it crashes MOS.

    USB 2 (nec 5 ports) : it can disable some PCI cards, sometime the time hangs directly before the early kickstart, if i go further, it crashes MOS.

    Combo USB2+FW (VIA 5+3 ports) : need to install Poseidon for Mos and Arrackattack (use only openUSB driver!!! the other make the system crash), it's found 3 units 2 Ehci et 1 Uchi, and 3 hubs, but when you plug something on, it told you bad adress error (-10), then turn all the card to off, and impossible to restart it.

    Voodoo TVFM : Visionnary 0.18 (68k) and 0.22 (MOS) can find it, but nothing appeared and the application hang. For Amithlon TV too... RadioX told me that the card is already in use.

    I also try some SCSI cards (that works on my Pegasos1 with symbios.device), the MOS screen stay black.

    Here are my tries. Now I have a big problem with my ESS solo1 sound card, the 1st one i had is not detected any more by the BPPC PCi menu. The 2nd, it give me a short "digital" crash when I try to play any sound, and lock the machine... I restored an old backup but I still have the crash... I had that a long time ago, but I don"t remind how I resolved it.

    I also noticed, that my MUI/Ambiant/System preferences reset when I restart Mos...

    Thanks,

    Thanks for testing. Remember that G-REX1200 has some issues regarding hardware address parity support. Maybe thats why 100mbit and other stuff dont work. I also remember that it would need a new Flash for USB.

    :-D
    I've also to try the possible "working cards" by replacing the lowlevel.library with the AOS 3.9 to see what can change.
    I'll also tried to place my sound card in the 2nd slot, to see if it works better (as told me Pawel on Yahoo! Grex).

    All of my Sound cards tries where on the 1st slot.

    About the sound drivers, what are the supported cards for MOS on pegasos and classic. I know about Fortemedia FM801, Sb Live!, and the rest ? where are the drivers ?

    I'll also receive soon some others PCi : S3 Trio 764, Virge DX, Permedia2, Radeon rv280 (9250).
    I'll keep you informed ;-)

    The compactlash.device did not work properly. It detect the presence of a card and that's all...
    maybe beter with the AOS 3.9 lowlevel.library
    Keep the Faith !
