Field Note #1 @naquaada 2008-02-01

A friend has a laptop with following data: Amilo PA 1510/ Chipset Xpress 200 (RS480)/ ATI SB400 /Graphics Mobility Radeon X1100

He actually has Windows on it, a Tiger installation wasn't working (SATA HD not shown). Could it work with this driver?

Field Note #2 @dasepsilon 2008-02-03

can you tell me how your driver relates to slice's efforts to bring us a driver for RS480?

Field Note #3 @Finkah 2008-02-03

I'm not a Rev 2 beta tester, but I do have a laptop with ATI 200m graphics and obviously haven't been able to get Tiger with QE/CI working. I'm willing to test the driver out for ya if you'd like.

Field Note #4 @rockybt18 2008-02-03

I'm a beta tester and the rev.2 in this stage doesn't work with the chipset RS480. All instalation ok, HDD SATA detected but it freez when triyng to boot from HDD.Cant figure what is wrong

Field Note #5 @roisoft 2008-02-03

Boot with -v and post the error message here, please.

Field Note #6 @dasepsilon 2008-02-05

may i reiterate my question?
how is your modification related to slice's?
(note that your image-caption reads "atislice")
can you explain what you did?
slice is working for at months on this,
and any real help is appreciated.

Field Note #7 @brucep 2008-02-06

i dont have and ichat account.. mi msn is [email protected] and my email is [email protected] .. if somebody can send me the ati 1100 driver i will apreciate it a lot..!

Best Regards.. Bruce.

Field Note #8 @brucep 2008-02-06

something more.. what do you mean when you say it doesnt have hardware aceleration?.. you mean 3d accel or all type of acceleration (video render, etc)..

Best Regards.. Bruce.

Field Note #9 @brucep 2008-02-07

sorry if this is a stupid question.. where is the ftp address?

Field Note #11 @guitardude89 2008-02-17

How would I go about becoming a tester? I would die for this driver for my AMD Sempron 3400 x200 laptop...

Field Note #12 @dado2i 2008-02-17

great work. I've an ATI Radeon Xpress 1100M card on an Acer 5101 laptop, and i'd be very happy to test it. actually running on Zeph. 10.5.1 Rev.1
my email address is dad2i-at-yahoo.com

Field Note #13 @vbetts 2008-02-18

I've got the x200, I'd be happy to test anything.

Now, there is something. On the osx86 forums, someone said that with the x200 or any of the later xpress series, they had CI, but no QE.

[cite] hackintosh4life:okay, well sorry Men I have all the testers I need, im fixing up some little issues then ill release it just experimenting with this feature - Wyatt M.

..ok that's right. I've tried at least. Keep up the work, we're all waiting to have the possibility to use the 0sx seriously.. keep us informed

Field Note #16 @zephyroth 2008-03-04

You're trying to help by doing what ?

You claimed that a driver should be ready very soon but it seems you look for one that already work.

Anybody can do that and give the link of an existing working driver to the others ...

But you're only 12 years old and I doubt you're able to program a kext.

Field Note #17 @insanelymac 2008-03-04

name two of them.. l'ii be in contact with them today.

and if you try, please do not steal Slice work... i'm following his progress.

is the only serious attempt for us (x200 users).

grow up kiddo!

Field Note #18 @DoiX 2008-03-04

:)) hackintosh4life looks like somebody figured out that you are a fake :))

Field Note #19 @insanelymac 2008-03-05

please if somebody is willing to cooperate in the creation of an usable driver; and have important information, try to contact Slice and Ole2.

BTW, they are insanelymac's forum users.

just united we can do it.

thanks and good luck.
