Will it be possible to plug a  Catweasel MK3 on a Tabor motherboard with a PCIe to PCI adapter? It is mainly to play SID music.
Thanks

Is there actually a SID player for OS4 that uses the Catweasel with SID.  The other thing is that even if it does work then you've only got the really weak video processor built into the P1022.  I don't even know if Hyperion will waste their resources making a driver for it since it's little more than a frame buffer and would probably see less use than the SM502 on the Sam460.

I knew Spirantho had done CW drivers but I didn't remember they included SID support.

When I read the AEON PDF about the A1222 I thought that it has 2 PCIe, No?
-x4 PCIe gen 1 link allows data rates of 2.5Gb/s per lane
-x16 PCIe connector to support RadeonHD graphics cards

It has just one slot that's mechanically x16 but electrically x4.

The P1022 SOC Only has 6 SERDES lanes.  4 are used for the PCIe slot and the other 2 are used for the SATA ports.  Additional hardware devices would have to connect to USB or the onboard headers for I2C, SPI and so on.
