AFAIK Sound, 100Mb networks, USB and TV cards don't work with Prometheus.


All PCI cards using PCI-PCI DMA will work unreliable in non-upgraded Prometheus boards. They may work for some seconds or minutes and fail with different and changing errors.

Only the gfx card drivers (Voodoo3) and RTL8029 (10MBit ethernet) will work on existing Prometheus cards without upgrade.

There are working drivers for catweasel MK3, Virge, Permedia2, Voodoo3/4/5 and RTL8029. But with Michael Boehmer update the cards that didn't work correctly will work :-)


Hopefully  :-D  We are working on it, and progress is being made.
