That would be wonderful news! I don't posess an Amiga 1200 computer myself, but a friend of mine has one including a PowerPC expansion card.
I am sure that he would be the first one to buy the NG Amiga OS. A great possibility for me to test this great-looking operating system!

When it?s done? lol

Sorry! i could not resist

@ Fransexy

you had to say it didn't you

Well!

There are betatesters that succefully run OS4 on BPPC, as written in an earlier thread.

The problem is which GFX-card thats supported. BVision has some issues P96 works with the "old" drivers. There will probably be a native version for BPPC but not for P96.

@Alkaron

What about CybervisionPPC?
Remark: If you can't say due to NDA, just don't!

I know that there is no P96 driver for 68k, i am stuck with
CybergraphX, (which is not a bad software, but unrcontinued)
Will there be an OS4 native P96 driver, or will the
CybervisionPPC not be supported at all...
which would be a shame, of course!

Reminds of the fact, i don't even know if i'm talking to an OS4 betatester, heh

No I am not a betatester, but I have talked to a betatester for classic amigas! Read an earlier thread about P96 and AmigaOS4 (under Amigaclassic i think) there is a summit of what the betatester told me.

Bvision, will be supported by AOS4 in native mode, but it is not finished yet.

P96 and Elbox will be emulated.

Bvision doenst work very well, p96 does. He told me if he had to choose between those to, he would go for Voodoo and P96

@ RWO

Its not even funny! Try to keep this forum clean and not a jibbering aw.net ;)

@Alkaron

So "emulated" for me then, whatever that means...what DOES it mean anyway???

Well!

Aos4 emulates classic 680x0 programs .. and drivers. Native modes means that there are drivers written directly for OS4.

The 680x0 is shut down during the use of Aos4

You know that its possible to write a driver for OS4 in 680x0. Its even possible to write a 680x0 driver that only works on OS4 and not on Classic.

I started do that with some of my usb drivers...

If you ask me Native means PPC code if you are talking about OS4.

RWO

@RWO

Exactly!

PPC-written drivers or programs

@Alkaron

Hmm, ok, thanks for the info...

...but you said, that P96 will be emulated for cards that
don't have (or get) a native driver...but CVPPC neither
has a P96 driver nor will get a native one (BVisionPPC will)
...so, no support for the CVPPC, at all?

You have to ask a betatester for that.. The guy I spoke with (Ryu) didnt say anything about CVPPC..
