I haven't seen these before. Are they even available yet? I am working on drivers, but they're not done yet, and they've never been tested with anything better than a Radeon HD 2400 pro.
I'd expect that this card would require a little work to get running.
Let us know if you need financial help in purchasing card for developing your driver(s), I'm sure there's plenty of folks who would be glad to support you. Myself included.
I can't find one to buy anywhere on the net. I don't think they've been shipped by HIS yet. As soon as they are available I will get one sent to Hans. Presuming he'd like one of course

indeed. i think we can also add a "Donate button" in the main page
[edit] BTW.. they are hard to find.. in Germany there are a lot of sellers.. but no one seeems to have the PCI version.. [/edit]
I found PCI express ones easy enough but no PCI even listed let alone in stock. I wish they'd named PCI express something completely different from PCI. It would make searching much easier...

Yes it does, and I'd definitely like to get that one working with my driver. I'm not completely sure about the differences between the R600 and R700 series cards, but it looks like the GPUs are similar. It's described as an extension of the R600, with more processing units, UVD2, and various other improvements.

Use negative keywords with search engines that support it. For example, putting "-" in front of a keyword in Google turns it into a negative keyword, e.g., -pci-e -pci-ex -pci-express.
BTW, nice find. I didn't think that we'd get a chance to try a 400 series card until we had a PCI Express motherboard.
@those wishing to donate
Use this page instead of the general donate button on my website. This page makes it clear that the donation is for the Radeon HD driver project.
Most of you will probably have seen the news article several weeks back that exec.pl donated funds for an HIS Radeon HD 4350 PCI card. Well, I now have the HIS Radeon HD 4350 working with my driver. Thank you to everyone who donated.
BTW, nice find. I didn't think that we'd get a chance to try a 400 series card until we had a PCI Express motherboard. Ahhhh! Obs: Technically speaking, PCI Express is not a bus. A bus is a data path where you can attach several devices at the same time, sharing this data path. PCI Express is a point-to-point connection, i.e. it connects only two devices and no other device can share this connection. Just to clarify, on a motherboard using standard PCI slots, all PCI slots are connected to the PCI bus and share the same data path. On a motherboard with PCI Express slots, each PCI Express slot is connected to the motherboard chipset using a dedicated lane, not sharing this lane (data path) with other PCI Express slots. In name of simplification, we are calling PCI Express as a "bus", since for laymen ?bus? is easily recognized as ?data path between devices? http://www.ask.com/bar?q=what+is+pci+ ... crets.com%2Farticle%2F190
Well, with the right chips, such as the PEX8648, you can make PCI-Express look like a "bus". It's a big honking switch I am considering for a different project.
And nice work on getting the 4350 running. What a frustration that must have been! But rewarding in the end. Kind of like win32 programming.
