Great news!

Now when they say drivers for Radeon 7X00 what would happen if I install a 9200 instead?  Limited use or no use at all?

[Mr_Capehill]

@Delta, probably 2D works ok but hardware acceleration support doesn't yet (Warp3D).

[Delta]

Good enough cause I have an unused 9200 sitting around here

thanks!

Is there somewhere a list of OS4 applications that I could be using when OS4 finally comes out and I can get myself an Amiga One?

There's probably not an OS4 specific video editing program yet (which is what I'm most interested in), but does anyone know if the old video toaster software will work on OS4? (Has it been freewared?) Was there any other video editing software for Amiga? What is it and does it run on OS4?

Is there an OS4 specific VE program in the works?

[Mr_Capehill]

@weirdami: I don't think VideoToaster would work, if it makes accesses to the custom hardware of classic Amigas.

I would also like to see VE software and FireWire drivers of course

Infact,,, here is the ..
