You still need to write the driver. It doesn't really matter if it's PCI, PCI-E or USB.
Unfortunately, this is the kind of retarded marketing that may put Amiga's future into jeopardy again.
A marketing plan that would work: AmigaOS is already limited to specific hardware, so there is no need for broad peripheral support, so all we need is one card. So why not just partner with a TV card manufacturer and have them make a card and a driver?
Then, all that is needed is a media player, a media portal clone, and you 've got something good to sell. And better sell those boxes cheap. I am not saying that it's guaranteed to fly, but there is a chance. If AMD managed to save themselves by selling a 64 bit CPU with next to no 64 bit software in the market, then there hope for AmigaOS too.
What is Hyperion's plan? They say they are in for the long run, but seriously, what is their plan? Selling AmigaOS with overpriced PPC motherboards to Amiga enthusiasts? They tried this thing with Eyetech and Pegassos, and both times it didn't work. They need to bring new people in and not just rely on the loyals. Otherwise, they will go bankrupt too, and I doubt anyone will buy AmigaOS this time.
I am so confused by them that I may even forward a link to this thread to them and ask them for a reply. I may even hire a programmer to do the driver and build the machine myself and sell it, but I am not good at selling. Hope some big company will.
