OpenPCI 1.0 and OpenPCI 8139 Device 1.0 released : Comment 12 of 41 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 10-Feb-2003 09:56 GMT | In reply to Comment 10 (alan buxey): Agreed. The idea was always a good one, and it was unfortunately always going to be vehemently opposed by the likes of Elbox. (According to Elbox, it seems that no one else in the Amiga community is capable of writing a driver, so any solutions that provide functionality which rivals that of Elbox products are bound to be pirated from Elbox' own material.)
As to the lack of OS4 support, unless someone is a position of authority can confirm that bplan have imposed conditions on their contribution, I'd say the reality is that since OS4 is not yet available and there is no developer documentation, it is hardly reasonable to expect OpenPCI to support it. When OS4 is released and documentation made available, THEN it will be time for people to start asking for OpenPCI support. |
