This has always been in the works, but Fraggle's contribution has helped encourage faster development.
Remember, the R300 driver is not just applicable to Powerbooks.
I have a Radeon 9800XT in my FW800 and I'm greatly looking forward to 3D support.

@djnick, takemehomegrandma

Stay on topic.

And for future reference, it might be polite to ask someone if you can quote them in your signature, rather than just citing them to make a sales pitch.

So, about staying on topic...

And while I still have the tab open:

This is great! This is only the beginning, as MorphOS's 3D capabilities improve, I can only imagine how our userbase will balloon.

Need a part for a PC or Mac? PM me, I\'ll let you know if I come across it.

MorphOS, OS4 and Classic Amiga systems are the only ones who are real \'Amigas\', not that joke AROS or Amiga Forever.

Powerbooks and all computers with slotable gfxcard, i.e. PowerMac, Pegasos I & II, Efika. Mac mini, eMacs and Cube G4 will not benefit though.
R300 is way superior over R200.

It will help ME.
I don't have a Mac Mini.

I think there's sufficient supply of used Mac for it not to be a problem for a number of years.

Nobody has produced viable PPC Desktop/Laptop HW since in 2005/2006 or so, when Apple sent the last ones out of their door. PPC is a completely dead architecture today when it comes to Desktop/Laptop markets, but for MorphOS, that doesn't matter much at the moment, since the supply of cheap and powerful machines is anything else but a problem; you want tiny but powerful? Get a Mac Mini! Want a big box that's expandable? Get a PowerMac! Want a full-blown Laptop? Get a PowerBook! Ibook is going to be supported soon as well. So there is a whole flora of cheap, high quality, easily obtaine HW out there, that is highly viable for MorphOS! So, hardware is currently the least of problems...

:D
