MorphOS 2.0 Released

[DamageX]

I'm glad to see that it's released, as I've had an Efika here collecting dust for the past year. But first...

Graphic cards supported:
------------------------
- Radeon7000(VE)/7200/7500/8500(LE)/9000(PRO)/9100/9200(SE)/9250,
  a card with at least 128MB recommended
- Voodoo3/4/5
- SiS6326, SiS305, SiS315
- Permedia2/Permedia2v

Has anyone used a PCI video card on the Efika? I have a SiS6326 PCI, but I hesitate to try it out because the PCI slot seems to be backwards with respect to the AGP slot, and certain other PCI cards will fit into either way! I'm worried that trial&error might not be the way to go in this case.

The idea of having to hunt around for a suitable crusty old video card is troubling considering they're going to make a massive price increase in only two weeks!

wrt my earlier question, I guess the PCI slot on Efika is 3.3V only, hence most cards (which are 5V) won't plug into it. So I ordered a couple more cheap AGP video cards from geeks.com

new question: does MorphOS include GOOD documentation related to making MorphOS-native programs?

Posting this from the MorphOS 2 demo I just installed on my Efika.

I have a Radeon 9200 AGP. It bumps into the wires coming out of the ATX power connector. Oh well.

I used a Transcend 4GB USB flash drive to hold the boot image and the downloaded ISO.

A couple hints:
1) when typing the boot command at the smartfirmware prompt, the image filename is case sensitive (being a Windows user, I'm not used to that B.S.)
2) you can't install MorphOS onto a FAT partition (it won't work worth crap). Change the harddisk from MBR to RDB and use FFS (probably some other stups work too but that is what I'm using)

This seems like a nice system after all, too bad there's no sound yet.
