Like the man said:
"For now, you're probably best staying away from the 9000 series. "
The documentation for the newer chip versions used in the 9000/9500/9700 is still being prepared for the likes of us non Windows people and is not yet available to us from ATI. We are currently able to work on drivers for the pre-9000 chip versions, so I'd suggest putting your money into one of those now. We'll update things when the 9000+ documentation becomes available to us, and recommend avoiding these cards for Amiga use until we're able to support them.
While there is some possibility that the 7x00/8x00 2D drivers might work with 9x00 cards, we don't want to promise this until we can guarantee it, much like the Voodoo3 drivers were found to work to some extent with the 4000/5000 cards, these versions aren't supported by the driver writers due to a lack of documetation specific to that version of the voodoo chips. We're just waiting for ATI's newer documentation before we encourage 9x00 model purchases for use with our code.
