P96 RTG driver development for new hardware

[OlafS3]

Oh, I forgot to add I have developer hardware available at cost if anybody is interested in working on this (or any other) area. May have minor cosmetic issues etc - mail me if interested.

Have you already contacted Toni about it? If someone has deep insight knowledge then he

Or open source it and then the developers who want somebody else to pay for their lunches can go off and do work that pays and the community can then sort out amongst themselves who can fix the mess.

I know - this is the Amiga community we're talking about - if there is a whiff of even a cent laying around then someone is going to try and extract it.

It does not look like that the owner is willing to opensource it

@Thomas

I can only express my personal view (not speaking for anyone else)... if amiga history teaches one thing then that the basic components should be free and open and not controlled or property of individuals who can kill it from one day to another. That is also better if you want to attract devs because you can guarantee longterm life in opposite to something controlled by few. I personal would never be willing to invest in closed components. Just my 2 cents and personal view.

So you only support AROS?

I support open standards and open sources to guarantee availability even in longterm. Neither Hyperion nor MorphOS team is interested in that and 3.X is hold hostage by several companies. Then there is not much left. BTW components like the CybergraphX from Aros could be improved and backported to 3.X then you would have both, the beloved old components and open standards.
