Just finished playing with Killer M1 accelerator and I have another toy to play with. As the article header says it is gonna be “some 800MHz PowerPC”. Is it really possible to have 800 MHz PowerPC in classic Amiga? Yes it is and its all thanks to the Hedeon who added new supported cards to […]

What could be more exciting then Amiga equipped with Sonnet Crescendo G3? Off course Sonnet Crescendo G4! I got so lucky when two very good friends of mine borrowed me G3/500 and G4/400 models. If Crescendo G3 is very hard to find these days than G4 version is unicorn. Lets have a look on both cards […]

Its been almost a year since I posted last article about Sonnet Crescendo running on Amiga. If you haven’t noticed, recently Cowcat published two new game ports for WarpOS and I will cover them in this article as well as some other interesting stuff. Lets start with FPSE emulator of PSX. WarpOS version discontinued even […]

Sonnet hacking project went into a new phase. Hedeon the author of this project developed a new powerpc.library that replaces sonnet.library which means patched software and drivers are NOT needed anymore.

Welcome to my 3rd part of the Sonnet Crescendo 7200 G3 demonstration in Amiga. This part will be far more entertaining than the previous two. This time I will show you the real power of the G3 together with Voodoo card. Both CPU including memory an GPU cards utilize PCI bus so they can communicate […]

In the previous article “part 1″ I have introduced you shortly the Sonnet Crescendo 7200 G3 accelerator in my Amiga 4000 and I focused mainly on benchmarks. In this part 2 I am going to show you Sonnet in action so for the best demonstration I recorded some videos. There are plenty of games, demos, […]

It all started with idea of one smart amiga user who most probably challenged himself with typical Top Gear question: „How hard it can be?“. In this case how hard it can be to make Sonnet Crescendo 7200 G3 PCI card working with Amiga via Mediator PCI busboard. For those who does not know what […]

There are plenty of accelerators for big-box Amigas, some fits fine to all Amiga models such as Cyberstorm MK2 and 3, some are especially designed for A3000 (G-Force 040), another ones only for A4000 (Cyberstorm MK1) and some only for A4000T (QuikPak 4060). Amiga 4000T is big and spacious so ideal for any kind of […]
