Release 7.1 is out
 
Stability is the main focus of this release.

The team fixed numerous bugs in the OS.

Major improvements are:
As you know we rewrote the complete IDE code in Aros in a previous Release already. This IDE reqwrite did improved not only the Speed a significantly but also fixed a number of IDE issues.
We now fixed a SCSI-Emu issue.
Finally disk errors and copy files errors should be all gone.

On the Distro we did replaced Dopus with Wanderer.
Wanderer is little slower in screendrawing but we think that it is much more stable.

We have an improved FAT-Handler, which should be able to identify and support a lot more  pre-formatted SDCards out of the box.
This means you should be able to use new Fat Sdcard right out of the box without the need to format them.

We hope you like this release as much as we do
and wish you a lot fun with it.

Is the Magellan LoadWB still working in the 7.1 release?

For release 7(.1), which is the correct version of the core to use for V4SA ?

Yesterday, I downloaded this one from the wiki page:
Build Core Release Date Vampire Standalone V4
8148 RELEASE7 2021-08-18 JIC (AROS)

The one in "Downloads" do not have the build version given, just "SA_RELEASE7_1.jic" (and it has a different md5 compared to the one released tomorrow), and I guess there is no $VER: string in it. Also, the follow-up question because of this, how do I determine the exact build version of the core flashed to the board ?

Hello everyone,

This is my first time posting here and I check the forum often for information.

I have a Vampires V500 V2.2 card in an Amiga 2000 on a replica motherboard under os R58 coffins. with gold 2.14 under Aros

I will want to use Appolo Os but I don't know which version I should use and how to prepare the CF or SD card to boot on this system because I can't find a link to do so.

Can you help me please ?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Cordially

If you go to the Downloads tab above you will find a link to download release 7.
I think the program etcher works for preparing the image, I'm not sure which version of core you need, but 2.14 is the most recent for V500.

Yes, it was a joke, a bad one or not, but he got it (and got at least some help) :)

I have just installed the latest core and I must say that it makes a huge difference, especially the ability to save on WHDLoad!

So a big thanks to the team is in order!
