[bhoggett]

The OpenPCI Library has reached v1.0 release stage.

The OpenPCI project aims to provide a generic PCI library allowing one set of drivers to be written which will work with a number of Amiga PCI solutions and systems.

OpenPCI SDK content :

- Latest openpci.library for MorphOS and AmigaOS 3.x.
- OpenPci developer documentation in txt and pdf.
- OpenPci fd, includes for SASC/GCC 68k/GCC  Amithlon/GCC MorphOS
- Latest openpci_8139.device
- OpenPciInfo : Executable + Source code for MorphOS and AmigaOS 3.x. This program displays all cards detected in your PCI Bus with a lot of information for developers.
- OpenPciDump : Executable + Source code for MorphOS and AmigaOS 3.x. This program displays in ASCII+Hexadecimal the memory (IO or Mem addr) of a PCI card (useful for debugging).

Initially, an RTL-8139 100-Mbit Ethernet card driver is included with the package.

Actually the point is to provide a universal solution where ONE driver can service all the PCI solutions available, including Mediator.

This would not have meant the Mediator drivers would have worked with everything, but it would have opened up the possibility of other people except Elbox producing drivers that worked with the Mediator.

Elbox have locked themselves out of this. Fine. It's their loss. When they start accusing people of stealing from them without a shred of evidence, that's when it gets dirty.
