| Sorry guys needed to clean up here. Please mind that this topic is about GOLD 2.9 features.
If you have any other topics or questions please open a new thread.
Therefore we can stay focused and reading is easier.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

| Ok, no winks :)
Boot support for sd card is really unexpected but nice.Would this be a dual boot such as holding both mouse buttons on startup and selecting?

| This is great news! Thanks for the update Gunnar! Was wondering if we will see support for more Chip RAM in a 2.x core? For us 1000 users, this is a Holy Grail feature as we are stuck with 512K until Gold 3 comes along - although I do understand that it may be integral to the different architecture that makes up the Gold 3 core. Just wondering... :)

Very fast and nice feature updates. Most were expected, which does make honouring the promised very nice. On Amiga side question is just HOW fast :-) Great step towards Atari-users Vampirization

| Very nice. Question, is there a plan to start testing the v500 2+ with Zorro II cards and developing an compatibility list? The wiki comparability list right now is mostly v600 related. Ethernet, SCSI, Serial/Parallel, Budda, etc. Ethernet - I have 2 (x-surf, x-surf-100) and both work using Roadshow, so this might be a non-issue, but they should be added to the Wiki. SCSI - I have 4 or 5 different cards and none allow me to access the CD-ROM drive. If I jumper the autoboot the system wont boot. If I disable autoboot, it is as if the card is not installed (probably because the *.device isn't loaded). Maybe I'm not knowledgeable enough, but if you need a tester, I'm here. I don't care about the memory on those cards but some might, but the ability to use our old SCSI gear would be nice (CD-ROM, Scanner, multi-card reader, external HD, Jazz drive, etc.). I don't think most of us would use these every day, so it can be a low priority, but being able to access the old files would be great. Thanks!

| Problem with Zorro cards, especially scsi cards seems to be a problem with DMA capable cards. So a GVP and A2091 scsi won´t work but a Oktagon 2008 works fine.
Sorry for Offtopic.

While its not uploaded yet, there is SAGA driver v1.2
2018-03-19 : SAGADriver.v1.2.lha
Soon the core will celebrate build 5000+On sidenote: please put newest core on top of download list. Yes, its in BOLD and people might need other GOLD cores for their own reasons, but is a bit missleading.

| I guess the weather in Germany was too good today .-). So no time for developing, hopefully. But next week, we all can stay at home without bad feelings...
