Are you sure the SM502 will be supported by MorphOS?

Actually, while I agree 101% with Kronos, and we all know that asking for release dates won't bring them nearer nor will bring the actual answers, I feel I have to clarify that Radeon R500 support was actually showed live at Pianeta Amiga 2013 and support for R700 (HD4xxx) was already in the works. And Frank Mariak and Mark Olsen told us that the plan is to have them both completed for the Sam460 release. No promises nor announcements, and we all know that even the best plan can go all wrong, but if everything goes as expected, they'd like to release everything together in MorphOS 3.6, and they hoped to have it ready for the first half of 2014.
So, you can all stop asking, and wait for MoephOS 3.6. And if 3.6 does not include everything, *then* start asking what went wrong (and expect a simple answer as "sh*t happens").
That said, do not buy anything for MorphOS before a release happens. This has always worked perfectly for me.

Kind regards,

Isn't that 4th? And what's with the non-Pro 9000?

I have been telling you about it many times during the last two months but you chose to ignore it.

Yes, and you've been told for the last two months here which cards these are supposed to be. You saying "not only for damn integrated SM502 chip" implies support for the SM502 chip. That's why I asked you.

This doesn't mean it has to be supported.

Over the course of the last two months, you got a list of PCIe graphics cards that are said to be supported as soon as MorphOS for Sam460 is released.

That doesn't change anything that has been said at and about Pianeta Amiga, which is what I've been telling you.

Yes, but the MorphOS Team ran such old card in public on Pianeta Amiga. This is reality beating theory.

Good give me the list.

No, you said HD2400+.

Its minimum, most users have 4000 really.

MorphOS has Radeon drivers for many years.

RadeonHD. Why do you love to pretend to be an idiot?

Work on what?

A MorphOS team member now says that support for anything newer than R500 "is unlikely because it would be waste on low end Sams."
