Two weeks after the start of the petition I have sent the first list with all signatures (without email addresses) to DCE per email. I got an answer of DCE at once. DCE wrote that they would be glad about a support of OS4 and that they are interested in the current discussion.
We got the information of Steffen Häuser that the cybpci.library written by Ralph 'Laire' Schmidt will not work in the 68k emulation because of the 68k MMU setup. So the petition still became more important because presently GRex users have no chance of getting AmigaOS 4.0 started. We got all information per email which Hyperion needs to support the GRex. Four addresses are needed:
the base of GRex I/O address
the interrupt acknowledge address
the base address of config space mappings
the PCI-config and PCI-data address.
No circuit diagramm, hardware or software documents are needed. These information I sent DCE per email. I have not got any response until today.
Then we got the information that bplan has the hardware rights. This means DCE has only a licence for the GRex. If this is true or not we do not know. One week ago I contacted Mr. Carda per email for getting clearness. But I also have not got any response until now. That is a pity.
Now we hope that we can attract attention by posting this article.
Thank you very much again to all participants... The attempt of moving something forward means so much to us - also if it may fail."

Just read your answer to my post on Amiga.org. Thanks for your generous offer, I would have said yes if I have had the time (which I haven't got atm.).
Please look at post #13 I would also like to see these questions answered
BTW.(and totally off thread) when is the Psylent going to be released? |
