Simple question: does the recently released Amiga OS 3.2 play nice with Vampire V2 accelerators? Anything I should be aware of if I try?

I haven't got a copy of it yet, although I do intend to eventually. But the experience shouldn't be all that much different to AmigaOS 3.1.4 on the V2, which has been running without any issues on the V600 V2 and V1200 V2 accelerators that I have.
Renaud did an excellent video showing AmigaOS 3.2 being installed on a V4 Standalone as shown here:

So things should be similar on a V2.

Just got my Amiga OS 3.2 and testing it on my V1200. Only thing i found that doesnt work so far is the "SDMountOnOff" tool. It freezes and gurus the amiga straight away and every single time.
Also found that Peter K icon library runs a lot better and displays icons a lot crispier and colourful. Other than that it works great.

GiggleDisk tool seems to have problems with 3.1.4 and 3.2.

  Thanks for that Renaud. Just discovered after trying many things that reverting to the previous version of sagasd.device (0.12), the tool works again. It was the last version 0.13 from latest sagadrivers 2.6.1 that was causing the issue. Just thought letting people know.

I have run into an issue when upgrading two of my Vampire V2's to AmigaOS 3.1 -  On my A1000 I flashed the 3.2 ROM to my Vampire first and tried to boot up my 3.1.4 install to do the upgrade from there - and it would not boot any longer - it gave my library errors. So in this case, do the upgrade using a flashed 3.1.4 ROM and then use VampireFlash to update the ROM to 3.2 after the software upgrade.
On both my A1000 and A500 Vampires, I would get a Guru on Setpatch on every single boot. Commenting out Setpatch solved it, and both are rock solid, but I suspect that maybe I will be missing a few key updates without Setpatch. This weekend I will be doing a fresh install and see if anything changes.

On my V1200, CF card 4GB with PFS 19.2, Clean install 3.2 and mapping the roms, runs absolutely fine and rock solid.CF card was prepared on my pc and partitioned. Then also installed 3.2 in winuae with 3.2 roms, then copied vampiremap and the 3.2 rom in the system, updated the SS and moved to Amiga with the V1200.

Runs fine with V1200. I have a fully customized OS3.2 running with P96, Indivision AGA MK3 running.

im able to mount Sds just by replacing "L:fat95" to "L:CrossdosFileSystem" in the SD mount files
no need for fat95 on 3.2

Hello, or did you find Sagasd version 0.12, I found version 0.13 that does not work under OS3.2 and in the V2.5.1 archive
was 0.9 version of Sagasd (which does not work either).

Interestingly I found that VampireMap is not needed with AmigaOS 3.2. It seems that LoadModule ROMUPDATE in the Startup-Sequence does the job.

  Really? And where does it get the 3.2 modules to update the rom from? How does it work? Did you check that all modules are the updated 3.2 ones?

2.6.1 sagasd.device didn't work for me... rtg/picasso worked ok, but my sdcard was "uninitialized"

2.5.1 seems to be working ok though, as far as basic sdcard and rtg goes anyway. i don't use the sdonoff giggledisk etc, so not tried those

i tried that ^... it seems to work for the sdcard, although it mounts slowly... if you try to mount a pcmcia cf card like that it doesn't work, you get prompted for something like 'insert msdos5 disk' or something.

i'd prob stick with fat95 unless you're in a pinch and have no other option

Hi!

Just some info. I just installed 3.2 (upgrade from 3.1.4) on my A600 and A1200. Both have V2 cards. On the A600 (Core 2.12) I got the same problems with sagasd 2.6.1 and had to rollback to 2.5.1, but on the A1200 (Core 2.13) it worked with 2.6.1.

I installed OS 3.2 on my A2000 with v500+ v2 last night.
My  experience:

All works fine with mapped (vampiremap) A1200 3.2 rom with the exception of setpatch - it gurus the system.

according to the changelog the 2.6.x sd driver requires gold 2.13...

    * Support for more V4 resolutions
    * Minor bugfixes
* Updated SAGA SD driver to 0.13
    * Improved speed for V4 and V2 (req. GOLD2.13)

Could be, but my interpretation was that 2.13 was needed for improved speed. Not that 2.13 was needed for it to work at all. Misunderstanding in that case.
