Will it be released for 68k machines once/if drivers for older Radeons are available?

Seeing as Nova is a completely new architecture is the old Warp3D API going to be implemented on top of it ala Goa?

Also is there a rough ETA yet of when the OpenGL layer is going to be made for it?

Implementing Warp3D functions on top of Warp3D Nova wouldn't give any benefits. The main bottleneck of Warp3D if that most of the graphics pipeline is on the CPU. The GPU is only rasterizing triangles either way.

What about support for new cards in the future? I'm assuming they won't have Warp3D drivers for them, so is Warp3D deprecated like Goa for R300+ is on MorphOS?
