OpenPCI 1.0 and OpenPCI 8139 Device 1.0 released : Comment 10 of 41 | ANN.lu |
Posted by alan buxey on 10-Feb-2003 09:05 GMT | OpenPCI is a nice idea - and its really what we would want ALL
PCI BUSes on all 'Amiga' platforms to be using......however,
I fear that with all the nasty politics, back stabbing and general
bad behaviour in this 'community' that it wont take off as it deserves
as you cant run it on Mediator (thanks Elbox) and it seems that theres
even more (and newer) shenanigans with bplan and some os4 clause (anyone
care to enlighten me on this ? :-( )
yes, Mediator has a PCI library and Realtek driver....but thats not the
point of OpenPCI. the point of OpenPCI is that only ONE driver
needs to be written for a PCI device...and then the HAL of OpenPCI will
allow that one single piece of hard work to run on ALL the supported
PCI BUSes. its a good vision, and the best solution.
