WHAT'S THIS ABOUT OPEN FIRMWARE? THERE IS NO FRIGGING OPEN FIRMWARE ON THE AMIGAONE. We use PPCBoot instead, with x86 emulator for graphics card initializing.
For your information, the reason the SE didn't have firmware is because the firmware hadn't been shipped.
And the XE ran Debian GNU/Linux the week before in Gothenburg (same motherboard, my harddrive).
My god, the amount of plain wrong info you see every day here is just unbelievable. I guess spreading FUD really works, since so many don't bother to CHECK THEIR GOD DAMN FACTS BEFORE POSTING.
And why the frell would you "develop Open Firmware drivers" anyway? _YOU_ don't develop OF drivers, the card manufacturer does. And then he puts it into the flash on the card and allows you to use it under OF. Not so with PPCBoot.
