AmigaONE hardware compatability list (now with interesting comment)

[SlimJim]

...No it's not here yet, but it has been hinted by one of the
Frieden brothers on the AOS4 mailing list, that info will be put
up on os.amiga.com in just a few days.

 
This is eagerly awaited; I need to start put my tower together
to home my future AONE-XE-G4!
 
(Now don't put this up as news or anything, it's a *hint* (not
even an announcment) of an announcment after all...:-))

-added-

For now,
 GGS-data in Sweden has published a list (supposedly by
their own initiative) of gfx-cards working on the AmigaOne:
 
Extracts, translated from Swedish:

OS tested: SusePPC 7.3 on AmigaOne, in X (GUI for Linux)  

Voodoo 3 3000 16MB PCI, works excellently in all modes and colour depths.

Voodoo 4 4500 32MB PCI, works excellently in 8bit screen modes.

His Excalibur Radeon 7000 64MB SDR, works excellently in 8bit up to 1024x768 with framebufferdisplay.
 
Sapphire Radeon 9000 Atlantis 128MB DDR, in 8bit up to 1024x768 with framebufferdisplay.
  see below comment from Bill Toner though

Sapphire Radeon 9000 Atlantis Pro 128MB DDR, in 8bit up to 1024x768 with framebufferdisplay.

So far they have found no problems with any brand of
CD-ROM/DVD drives.

What of this is actually going to work with AOS4 is
anybody's guess though...:-/
... until os.amiga.com is updated that is!

Well, first rule of tabloid journalism - get the reader's attention... :-)
 

I'll keep an eye out - the race is on for the 1st person to post the news item !!

 
That was what I was thinking. What will he/she win?

I have this CanoScan flatbed scanner. I don't even want to think about how long it's take before that is supported...

CanoScan N670U here... It's very good, but linux drivers is
not all that developed. I think it's coming though, if you take
a look at google, there is a page where Canoscan drivers
are noted as beta, but almost fully usable. For now I have
to keep a copy of Windows around to use the damn thing.
 
I think you are right that support for AOS is far, far in the
future indeed.

Thanks for the reply!
 
Are we thus to understand that all ATI Radeons up to (but not
including) the 9000 series are to be supported in AOS4? And if
so, will they be supported right from the start?
 This greatly influences my choice in hardware for my (for now) linux-AmigaONE.
 
 (this is news for me at least.)
