79 available systems for MorphOS 3.5

[vox]

Why are the letters so small? :laughing:

I want 81, hope inna next release SAM460ex and SAM460ex LITE (Project NAOMO) will be added.

Also, MORE DRIVERS - PCI-E cards time, at least Radeon 4000Hd

What good is to have 81 sys supported, if only Radeon 9800 or Radeon 1xxx can be pluged in?

At least they are usable. For real. IMHO, the GFX card situation is not a problem with MorphOS (the PPC is a far more serious issue for example); those graphic cards kind of match the computers general performance for which they were made anyway, they are of the same age, from the same era. The R200 support is rock solid, the R300 has had many updates and improvements during the last few MorphOS releases and is now probably (I have no personal experience) kind of mature, then there will be the R500...

The X1000 development/OS4 porting started in 2009, the Sam 460 was released (with OS4 ported) in mid-2010. PCI-e was touted as some kind of holy grail by some, and Radeon HD cards were bundled with the pre-built systems ever since then.

That was more than an entire "computer generation" ago, a very looong time has passed since then in "computer evolution time". And today I read in Trevor's blog that the first release of the Radeon HD driver v1.0 is closing in. The highlight of this will be 2D HW acceleration! Not 3D, not overlay, just regular 2D!

So to quote yourself: "what good is that"?

While we had 2D, 3D, overlay, etc...

Dont start me moan on OS4 development, I am good in it.

Problem is: MOANA (SAm460ex support is official) but board is kinky and cannot support cards older then Radeon 4000HD (I am not joking see Acube manual).

So at least 2D support would be great. And its about time with G5 Macs that have PCI-E too. Or nVIDIA support. R200 and R300 are early 2000 models, soon to be in museums.

About Hanses driver: I Hope I have paid 3D support too ...

On other news, AW.net hasnt still refunded my 20euros to Daddy, and no one responds on admins, no one care. Please dont give money to this board.

Eliyahu is terrible censor that knows just how to lock threads with no exponation.

Also, Hyperion support forum has found new limbo: put user on a APPROVAL mode and never approve his messages. Nice collection of end user rights breach and then they say I am madman that will lose in court.

Sam460ex user manual

That is it. No one has a tested card list and since HD2400 is hard to find and way too slow, most of SAM460 user like I, start with Radeon HD 4000

Well said, indeed I am still baffled why Vox when down the expensive, slower and less supported Sam460 to run MorphOS rather than just getting a Mini g4 for like $100?

Each to their own though, but the PPC Mac support is definitely a huge bonus of MorphOS.  When my A1XE was starting to act up I looked at my options, as you say the 460 is only around the same performance level as an A1XE/Pegasos, and in many ways inferior as it has less developed/finished drivers.  So the only option for an upgrade was to drop £3,000 on an X1000 which was out of the question so MorphOS on a cheap mini now satisfies my "NG" needs.

I do have SAM460ex and currently have no space for more computers.
