Any news on those Radeon drivers?

I don't know if it's "news", but the current status is:
They are operational.  We've had Workbench running on them.  The driver is going out for beta testing next.

Oh BTW: Real nice looking banner, very eye catching.

Thank you.  Our graphic artist was very good about providing all the pieces she used in her look-and-feel (fonts, vector-based images, pantone colors, etc).  It's made it very easy for us to use those components to create high-quality stuff on our own while maintaining the same look-and-feel.

Will they be able to do 3D?

Forefront is only doing the 2D drivers, Hyperion will be doing the 3D drivers.

Great! What kind of system are they being developed on? What cards are working so far (I guess in PCI form)?

Was it on Prometheus, the AmigaONE, Mediator or all three?

The development systems are 2 A3000s with Prometheus PCI bridges.  One has a Radeon SDR card, and the other has a Radeon 7000 DDR card.  The intention is to support as many Radeon models as possible, though these two are the only ones we've actually run the driver on thus far.  That should change very soon, as we're about to go into beta testing.
