Re: Next MorphOS version: 3.0! (Not 2.8)

Right now I only have two questions that have gone unanswered about MorphOS 3.0.
First will it have an improved R300 driver that supports 3D (for the Powerbooks)?
Second, will it enable wireless LAN?

So far, no answer to these two questions.

There was mention somewhere quite a while back that wireless support was one thing holding up the release. 3D, too. So they're both a definite "maybe" :)

Dunno bout the 3D (but AFAIR it will either be in 3.0 or 3.1) wireless will only be supported via PCMCIA-cards (with the driver ported from AROS). Not sure what will be the deal on these. Will we each have to buy our own licences, or did the MorphOS-team make a bulk-deal with Mr Cafferkey ?
 
Anyways my card is finally on the way after the seller f####ed up my pick up address.

At this point, it doesn't appear that we will be getting R300 3D drivers.
 
However, the news about PCMCIA cards is welcomed.
What about other Macs (other then the Powerbook) though?
ASFAIK the wireless slot of a G4 is not fully PCMCIA compatible.
