SciTech Software Inc. announcement : Comment 165 of 195 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 19-Feb-2003 16:29 GMT | In reply to Comment 163 (Graham): No question, Scitech SNAP provides more decent drivers more quickly than any Amiga-only route (still waiting to hear what happened to those who were previously working on 2D AOS4 drivers... paid off & abandoned?)
However 180 chipsets is a reality for maybe OS/2 users or Linux users (but Linux users get support for ~ 200 chipsets out of the box with XF86 anyway) but not for AmigaOne owners or classic owners.
Why not? Because a bunch of those chipsets either never had any incarnation as an addon board (OEM'd onto PC motherboards, OEM'd into pre-built PCs) or were only available for now obsolete slot standards (in particular VLB).
Anyway, it's always good to see an OS going in the right direction, even if I have no love for it myself. Hyperion made the right choice on this one. |
